I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Does this kilt make me look fat?
What color hose should I wear with this kilt?
Is it OK to wear hose without flashes?
Should the flashes match the kilt or the shirt?
etc.
Alan, you're spot on. Just enjoy, however you choose to do so.

Yep! 'fraid so.

?
Orange with purple stripes of course. 
Code:

Why would you wear a hose? Water the garden?
Code:
Should the flashes match the kilt or the shirt?
YES!

Maybe try to remember that you should look good without looking like you put way too much thought into it.
I think that I once mentioned the story about the time that I was working in an art supply store and a guy came in to buy a color wheel to use to match his wardrobe....I was flabberghasted that anybody would be that anal about matching their clothing and accessories.
I find that I tend to skip over the threads that are titled, "Does this shirt/these hose/whatever go with this kilt?" Life is too short...invest in a full length mirror and use your best judgement. I seriously doubt that anybody is going to walk up to you and start lecturing you about the disposition of your kilted wardorbe and if they do you can tell them where to stick it....if you can't do that then you probably should reconsider your future as a kiltie.

But have we ever determined whether or not "anal retentive" should have a hyphen ?!?!?!

not obsessing
Alan,
If I were a 'thinking man' I wouldn't go new places in a kilt...
and I most assuredly would NOT spend perfectly good summer afternoons throwing heavy objects for fun ;-)
Don't think? Aye the zen of it all.
Before our games last weekend, we got together just to check in before starting and this was said --I think the perfect statement for an occasion like that:
"Well, boys...another good day above ground, too soon your blood will go cold and all of this will be over...so strap up, shake a hand and lets go live like we've got a pair today"
Calmed me right down and I didn't 'think' too much the rest of the day.

Here here! Brilliant, and good enough for any occasion.
