    For me, hose are a formality or warmth option. If it's warm out and casual I will either wear regular socks scrunched down or sandals and no socks (or even barefoot). If it's cold out or a more formal affair I wear hose pulled up. I never wear hose scrunched down because to me it's useless to wear fancy, expensive socks and then push them down so that nobody can see them.

    Just as the kilt.

    If it's warm out and casual I will either wear regular socks scrunched down or sandals and no socks (or even barefoot).
    If its too warm for woolen hose then its perhaps also way too warm for a woolen kilt.

    Note:

    http://bermuda-online.org/shorts.htm
    The "standard" dress attire with shorts in Bermuda is knee socks (roughly the same length as with kilts).

    I never wear hose scrunched down because to me it's useless to wear fancy, expensive socks and then push them down so that nobody can see them.
    Not all hose are expensive. Some are quite simple. For use with lightweight "casual" (4-yd) kilts one can wear knee socks as above. They are available in summer grade wool, cotton and even silk.

    Whats the point of scrunched down hose? Beyond a "look" its also about options. One can, when wanted (to be more presentable or when it gets cooler in the evenings) pull them up.

    Well, I'm a bit scared to use short socks, because of the fur on the legs (why I don't wear shorts) and I don't want to frighten little kids thinking I'm a satyr or something...

    NO, shaving is out of the question!

    Dude, I am sure you are no worse off than I am. I have been called a skinny sasquatch more than once in my day. Honestly if anyone has a problem with your body hair thats their issue, not yours. In my experience guys dont notice and most girls arent looking for hairless wonders. Whatever you do, do it with confidence!

    You don't have to shave them to the skin, just trim the hairs shorter. Most barber or hair cutiing razors come with different ends that snap on and are for different lengths of hair.

    DALE.

    You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!
