Scathing Attack on White Socks

[WillowEstate]

But none of that has much to do with how I will wear my kilt attire - my first kilt won't be here until November so I have time to read threads like this and plan my look. I like learning the "rules" and knowing why customs are customary so I'll know better if and when I should break the rules and/or disregard the custom.

The only rules is there are no rules! Dress maketh the man, they say and for me, that's it. What I wear expresses my personality on any particular day and the image I choose to present to the world. If the world doesn't like it, that's the world's loss.

I do wear off white hose with some old white leather Nike trainers and very occasionally with a kilt and "proper shoes" but generally, I prefer darker colours with the MacKenzie tartan, modern and Seaforth.

Oh, and like HippieLee, I'm fit enough I don't need to "train" - the Nikes are just comfy!

Take note that cream/offwhite is the color of natural wool. To get white you have to strip the lanolin and bleach the wool.

Here my knee high cotton/spandex support hose only come in black and white. I have to dye some of the white ones to increase the variety of colors to choose from. I choose the color I wear based on that looks good to me that day. White gets worn about as much as one of the colors or black.
