Question about hose

[Lyle1]

Not to upset anyone, but I must put my two cents worth in on this thread. I agree with many folks, here, why white might not be appropriate, due to keeping them clean. After that, I can't see the fuss. This is a matter of personal choice. I think too many folks get carried away with what THEY would do, and then try to get everyone else to think their way. If you only wear white to a tennis match or to the gym, good for you. There are many situations when white looks very stunning. Is there a law written that white should not be used???? If so, then all the manufacturers of kilt hose need to stop making them.

Oh, and not using them because they are cheap, like being used in hire??? Isn't that being a tad stuffy??????

I know some older gentlemen in my area who use only white hose, and they do look awfully dapper when in the full Scottish attire. Different strokes for different folks!! I don't like to be offensive here, but come on!!!

Nicely said.

I don't understand why anyone cares what color hose anyone else wears, to begin with. If white hose look good with what you are wearing, wear them. Personally, I would lean to wearing white hose more for a formal occasion than an informal one, but that would be my choice. Even my wife, whose taste I value, has little to say about what I wear, once I make a decision.

If keeping white hose clean is an issue for you, don't wear them. If they get dirty, wash them or send them to the dry cleaner. Don't you clean colored hose after you wear them?
