Hmm...that's a good question, Nick. I've seen pictures of gents wearing them in the 1920's, the most famous being the Scottish music hall star Sir Harry Lauder, but Sir Harry has taken quite the beating lately for pushing the "stereotypical" Scotsman in dress and attitude.

See the middle picture on the top row of this page:

Unless you were trying to go for that 1920's - 1930's look, I don't know about mixing them with modern attire -- they are awful close to the leggings that pipe bands and soldiers wear, and might be misconstrued for that.

I'll defer to Hamish and Jimmy, but I would say no unless you were trying to "look" from the 1920's.

Cheers,
