I remember reading this on the other website, and am glad that you posted it here too.

As per white hose, to me they were the only, and logical choice when I started wearing the kilt. They didn't seem to me at the time to stick out like coloured hose do. Which is of course a laughable reason, I am after all wearing a kilt which is no where near the norm here in west central Illinois. These days I still have my white hose, but much prefer the look of the coloured ones that I have in two shades of green and a pair of blue. I like the options which the coloured hose give me in pairing with my several kilts, and with whatever shirt, tie, etc. I may be wearing at the time. Would I wear the white hose again? Sure, but not as often as coloured hose.
