    Re: Another kilt hose question with garter ties and bonnet question

    What say the rabble? If I choose the khaki or lovats would red garter ties be just right?
    You can never go wrong with red garter ties. Regardless of what the rest of the outfit has in it, red garter ties (or flashes) will always be 'right'. No need to try to colour-coordinate anything with them.

    Exactly. I have a nice variety of colours when it comes to traditional garter ties (House of Cheviot) and elastic 'flashes,' (Lochcarron) but almost every time I wear kilt hose, no matter what colour they are, I choose the red garters. It's so weird...almost comical.

    Don't worry about matching so much. As far as hose colour are concerned, go with any colour except for black and white, and you could pair them with virtually any colour of garter or flash - red always being a reliable standard.

    Cheers,

    Cheers,
    To the above (in particular, what I've put in bold), I would add "unless your goal is to look evil, at which point black is OK and white is still a bad idea". :cthulhusmiley:
