White or black kilt hose with with white shirt?

[mclagin]

Hi, I would like to ask you whether black or white kilt hose is better idea to wear with, Heritage of Scotland tartan and white shirt with black bow-tie. Thanks for replies.

Do you have these hose already purchased? If so, I guess I'd go with black.

If you have to purchase hose, lovat blue or green or even mustard might be a bit more interesting. You don't have to match your hose and your tartan, and it's much more visually interesting when you don't.

Hi, artificer, thanks for reply.
I already bought black and white are actually creamy white with lion on the top. Then... I have red and black flashes. But I can't decide what is best choice.

Actually there is one more thing... I am going to wear only simple jacket, without vest.

I was wondering what else would the outfit be comprised of, are you wearing a jacket with this? I was also thinking it may be easier for all concerned if you posted photos with both sets of hose. If it were me given the choices I would wear the black hose, though if possible I would wear blue or perhaps purple if you want the hose to match the tartan, if however you do not want to match then most any colour would work, in that case I would suggest claret.

Ok, I will post photos tomorrow after work. If you have any ideas what pictures to take, please comment. Thx.

Heritage of Scotland tartan:



If it were me, I would buy a blue to match the tartan, otherwise go with black with the red flashes.

Thx for reply. Now, I have a choice, we have rest of gray/black tartan at home, and my girlfriend can sew me flashes and bow tie from that tartan. I will post photos also tomorrow, when it will be done.

Ideally speaking...diced hose or fully-fashioned tartan 'Argyll' hose would be my first choices, then perhaps solid coloured hose in purple, shades of blue, or shades of yellow. For your situation, I would most definitely go with the black hose and red flashes.

Best of luck,

Link to tartan for bowtie. It will be pre tied, beacause I dont know how to tie it.
