    Hose up or down?

    I am still working on posting pictures, but have question I have not been able to find the answer to. When wearing boots, (10 inch, standard black, jump boots) and a traditional plaid kilt, do you scruch the hose down or leave them up with a flash perhaps?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Scrunch 'em, and therefore skip the flashes.

    And be careful about calling it a plaid kilt. Some of us get our drawers in a wad about that.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    Ok,
    So don't call it plaid.
    No flashes.
    And socks down.

    Thank you,
    Joe

    With boots - I'd scrunch the socks, even with a traditional kilt.

    If I'm dressing more casually (ie with a t-shirt or fleece), I'd be inclined to scrunch down by socks. And even if I did leave them up, I think I'd skip the flashes for a casual look. But that's just my opinion. Find a look you like and go for it.

    Just to muddy the water a bit, I will hike up my socks if it's cold out, even with boots.

    To muddy it further... I even wear my flashes with my hose up- when it's cold out, of course.
