Hose again

[Blu (Ontario)]

P1M has nailed this down.

Everything has it's place... it's using each in the proper way that counts.

Call them off-white, if you must. If that's the same as "cream" color, that's what I wear in more formal dress. If you wish to wear ghillie brogues, the color of the hose HAS to be lighter, in my opinion. Wearing them with bottle green hose, for instance, completely negates the effect, if you have black ghillie brogues with black laces. I can see wearing g.b. with Lovat green or Lovat blue hose, for example, because the lace effect is visible on the lighter-colored hose.

One of these days, I'll be able to afford the $150 for tartan hose, if I can decide which tartan I want them matched to. That's what I'd prefer to wear formally. I'd even like to have a castellated pair, however dated that may sound. I realize that it would probably be considered a serious faux pas, but was curious as to whether or not there's any reasonable way to wear a high-topped shoe or low-cut boot with tartan hose tops, so that there's something of a tartan hose effect, without being able to see the wearer's socks peeping out from underneath. If there were, and you had the hose tops to match your kilt, would YOU risk it?

Black hose in formal wear -- honestly I have to agree that it makes the wearer look as though he's walking with lower legs constantly in shadow. The color draws the interest or throws the accent the wrong way, or so it seems to me.

I want to wear whatever I want, whenever I want, whereever I want! I want what I want and you'll see to it that I have it!

I have an open mind about this, I always wear off white socks for formal wear, but if you feel that socks to match your kilt or Jacket is good, then wear them. I always feel that when wearing a white formal shirt, then you should wear white or off white hose to balance top & bottom of the outfit. I am sure everyone has ther own opinion, & will wear what they like
