I think the pattern is fine for day wear. Personally, I agree with Matt Newsome.

I only wear tartan hose for dressier occassions, and even then it's usually in the evening only. I tend to wear solid colored hose in the daytime, and only lovat green for really casual wear.

The pair you show in process look fine; I kind of like the pattern change. Only I would tend not to wear white or cream colored hose.
