Steve,

I like your basic point that simplicity is usually in best taste too. But, to be honest, I do wear socks to match my trousers. I only have three colors in everything: blue, black, brown. LOL. So socks and trousers both are worn in the same colors. I am not good at mixing and matching color schemes. I am a single guy with no one around to give me advice. And I avoid mirrors. (Maybe that is why I am single ) I only have one pair of hose, blue to match the blue in my kilt. Sorry. Does that get me kicked out of the Rabble? LOL.

In the meantime, have a great holiday season.

Tom
