    Sure!

    Push the socks down and maybe match the colour of the socks to the shirt. No need to melt when you wear a kilt

    These days I wear my casual Kilt with no socks and Teva sandals.

    No more stares than usual...

    I am with you there when I am out walking the dog it's a t-shirt, my kilt and a pair of Caterpillar sandals, no hose or socks of any kind, however my level of formality tends to change with the situation.

    Last weekend at the Potomac Celtic Festival, I tried wearing light weight cotton hose. I only lasted about 2 hours. It was just too hot for me. Luckily I brought along a pair of sandals. They definitely saved the day.

    I personally don't see anything wrong with the look but my wife hates it. She only really thinks kilts look good with boots.

    My Lady dislikes the pushed-down-hose look, so when I want it a little cooler I wear low top socks with my boots.

    I say wear what works for you and what you like.

    I sometimes wear brown leather sandals with my utilikilt mocker or solid color Sportkilt. I always feel the look is less proud Scot and more like aspiring gladiator though...

    Cheers

    Personally, I think sandals go well with kilts in hot weather.
