Kilt socks, also known as kilt hose, are knee-high socks worn as part of traditional Scottish Highland dress. Made from wool-blend materials, they are thick and ribbed for warmth and comfort. Kilt socks are typically worn pulled up to just below the knee, with the tops folded down to reveal flashes—coloured garters that complement or contrast the tartan of the kilt. Available in neutral colours like cream, grey, or black, they balance the overall look of the kilt ensemble, providing both practical warmth and a finished, formal appearance for occasions like weddings and Highland games.
