Seriously, this was a self portrait and the hose are not accurately represented (although Ham, you may still not like them! :grin  . They are actually a dark, heather green that matches some of the patterning in the shirt. The pic just does not show it. They are almost an exact match (just slightly darker) for the darkest grey-green down the center of the shirt near the buttons. And Ham, I agree it was a slightly jazzy, or what I would term funky, look. It fit my mood this AM. I have been being very careful to be formal when going to the office, but after almost 2 months, I decided I could relax a bit.
They're probably still too dark for the outfit. I think maybe some nice lovat blus hose would match the more dominant colors of the shirt and look much better.

Well thanks Dave for an actual suggestion on hose colour. I was waiting for Hamish to offer an alternative and put us all out of our misery;)
I've been guilty of wearing dark hose at the wrong times too.

Guessing that if it were my shirt I'd have grabbed a pair of lovat blue kilt hose too Dave.
That combination would probably take the eye right past the kilt. I know Ham's advice about highlighting the kilt, yet it seems that solid kilts cry out for a jazzy shirt...or is that my soul that crys out for a jazzy shirt??

I would say it's probably hard to draw much attention to a khaki kilt (other than the attention any kilt would draw). I'm thinking a bright tropical print shirt myself.

I am glad somebody offered up a color choice! I was also wondering what would have been appropriate. Is anybody else having challenges with hose? I mean in the sense of having the correct color for all the possible shirts you can wear? So far, I really only have black, navy, dark charcoal gray, the olive green ones in the pic, a pair in a russet red color, and one pair in cream. As you can tell from the color selection, I have been buying hose in the same color I would buy dress socks, basically dark, since I can not imagine light color socks with typical office dress shoes. However, kilt fashion is different, so maybe I am missing something. Have to review Ham's pictures again.
On a related note, my wife has said the same thing about the hose and that I really need to go buy some more in other colors! Yeah, I can buy some accessories! Not as good as a new kilt, but still fun.
And as somebody mentioned, it is hard for a tan kilt to make much of a statement beyond its kiltness, so I find I tend to a flashier shirt when I wear it.

Oatmeal...
Oatmeal coloured hose are very verstile. Goes with just about anything.

Very true, oatmeal goes with a lot. The Lovat Blue I mentioned, while good for the outfit shown, would be much more limited in its use.
