Hi Robin,
I must agree with you, both brogues and boots look fine with hose pulled up. And, good choice wearing hose the same colour as the mud.

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice but in practice there is.

I'll wear hiking boots with hose up if it's cold. It's just more comfortable for me sometimes. I remember seeing old pictures somewhere of guys in "hiking kilted" attire, with hiking boots and socks rolled down, and with their hose and flashes as well (i.e. two pairs of socks) and I thought it looked fine and presented a balanced look.

I've been thinking about exactly this issue as I spend a lot of time birding and I live at 7,000 feet. It can be fairly nippy in August. I don't have much experience with this, being new to kiltdom, but it seemed to me that the color of the hose would really affect this, wouldn't it? Off-white hose might look a bit more odd pulled up with hiking boots than say, brown?

I agree...function before fashion when out in the weather.
With the cold weather I've started wearing my heavy kilts and with that, indoors in the office, have worn my kilt hose up.
The flashes are a bit over the top for the casual atmosphere of my office, but I do wear the matching tartan flashes with my heavy kilts. I paid for them....and I think it does add a bit more of a traditional/ethnic look.
I sometimes wore flashes with my solid contemporary kilts last year but when I look back at the pics now I wonder why.
Ya just gotta play with it.
And, I have it on good authority that time spent in front of a mirror working on getting your kilted look "just right" is added to your life span.

I sure hope so, Ron. My wife pokes fun at me because it sometimes takes me longer to get my rig right than her.

Now, I wonder who could have given you that bit of advice, Ron?!!!!!!
