Tights or hose with formal cocktail dress

[Anonymous]

I'm wearing a 3/4 sheath dress to a formal event in NYC. In the winter, I usually wear tights with booties when I wear a dress but this is a more formal event and I will be wearing pumps so should I wear sheer hose instead? I hate the feel of pantyhose but I definitely can not be barelegged in this weather.

I would not wear any. Will you be outdoors that much?

I'd wear sheer hose as long as they're not open toed shoes.

Sheer for sure.
Stop buying your hosiery at the drugstore-
These cannot be felt on your waist: http://www.amazon.com/Ibici-Concept-20-Waistband-Pantyhose/dp/B00ABUDVFA

Women in Manhattan wear hoisery of some sort with a dress in the winter. You just do. Check out Wolford.

I would wear sheer hose. Never in a million years would I go bare.

No need to be frumpy just because you're old.

Wear sheer stockings. The Spanx line at Target is actually really comfortable b/c they are thicker.. Not the nasty feel of cheap stockings.

In the NE women wear tights or hoisery of some sort. Wearing bare legs would be like wearing flip flops in January. It simply isn't done.

Sheer hose, close-toed pumps. Depending on the dress, you might be able to wear sheer black hose if you don't like the look of nude hose.

Get a good pair, hose are not something to pick up from your nearest big-box store (and I buy tons of clothes from Target, not a store snob, but good hose make a big difference). Go to Nordstrom and stretch the little sample sets over your forearm to pick the right shade.

No, no and no. According to Tim Gunn "Bare legs are always the more fashionable option."

Tights and hose are for prudish Americans, and middle-aged women with cellulite.
