As with Ted Crocker, my only hose at the moment are the cream-colored pair I bought when I put together my PC outfit for my wedding. I'll wear these w. black flashes when the event is black-tie. With a Mackenzie modern kilt and a black muskrat sporran, the overall look is a bit dark but hopefully somewhat sophisticated.

Now that I also own a navy Argyll (technically Braemar?) jacket, I really need to get a pair navy hose to go with. (As many have said, matching a dominant color of the tartan and also the color of the aforementioned jacket.) Somewhere along the way I managed to acquire a pair of red flashes (which I currently wear with the cream hose and said Argyll) matching the red stripes in the tartan and keeping the informal look a bit peppier.
