Actually, tartan hose would be the order of the day for formal daywear (i.e., when other men are wearing morning coats) - which is not to say that solid coloured hose aren't acceptable. Usually one would wear silver buttons on the Argyll jacket, but plain buttons are sometimes worn instead.

I think if Sir Stewart had worn solid flashes and a different tie, the ensemble would have been much more bearable.
