Looks like #2 is the winner. Thank you all for your time and comments.
The black kilt hose I AM wearing are from USA Kilts and are folded over about 2 inches. If I do not fold them over at all I can wear them higher up on my leg.
(maybe only turn them over one inch to allow a garter underneath to keep up... I don't plan to wear flashes with this outfit.... too casual).
Anyway, thank you all!
