Recently, we had an inquiry from a friend on one of our favorite topics – to bare or not to bare legs? “I am going New York in September for a high school reunion. I plan to wear a party dress, however, I am not sure if stockings and pantyhose are in or out of style right now. A few years ago, most women I know would not have a leg to stand on, in flesh hose, except of course, in a conservative position, or to a funeral. Then Kate and Pippa kicked up their heels in sheers and suddenly their glam gams looked pretty darn good. Our rule of thumb is if you can get away without them, please do. But if you must wear stockings, pick a pair close to your leg color and as sheer as possible, or a pair or wear a pair of light fishnets. Whatever stocking you choose, remember to wear a pair of closed-toe pumps to avoid the unsightly stockinged-toe look.
For and for what to wear to a festive reunion, you cannot go wrong with a great LBD, Little Black Dress, for effortless sophistication. And then pick a stocking pattern that enhances your ensemble.
