Feeling REALLY Ridiculous about Pink Kilt Hose

[artificer]

Don't think of them as Pink so much as "Antique Red".

In truth, the colour pink was, up until the 1920's a colour for boys- being derived from Red and therefore considered somewhat martial.

Traditionally girls were given baby blue as it was 'calming' and echoed the cloak of the Virgin Mary.


Wear 'em with a green and blue based tartan and you'll be fine- I'd avoid the Loud MacLeod.

The answer is "nigh thee, even in thy mouth . . ." Pink kilt hose go perfectly with Pepto Bismol. They are probably not limited to that however.

Visions of buying a couple more kilts to go with the pink hose....

They would probably go nicely with the pink(ish) stripes in the Stirling and Bannockburn tartan.

[Spartan Tartan]

pink ought to be able to go well with any kilt that has red in it.

Royal Air Force - I hadn't thought of that. I usually wear a shade of blue. But ...

I await pictures, Ron.

Hmmm... Me thinks ye make a strong argument for yon "pink" kilt hose, forsooth.
