Finding it hard to get my head around the no nude tights thing :) Got a black dress, knee length fitted to wear to a dinner dance thingy tomorrow night. I'll be wearing black gold and green heels... do I still go for black tights and do a go for sheer ones???

This dressing up business is very stressful!


HELP PLEASE....

what's wrong with nude tights?
maybe i should put this in UO but i'd prefer the look of legs in good quality, sheer nude tights rather than bare esp in winter.
also another UO but i hate the look of sheer black tights. unless they are very good quality i think they look a bit cheap.

Wolford Neon 40 tights are fab and make your legs look AMAZING, they are dear, but very worth imo, have a good night!

You can wear nude tights of course! Either nude or thick black because sheer black are just rancid.
Have a great night :)

Believe it or not I actually checked my pair this morning to post it and it doesn't say on the label :dontgetit: sorry! But they're like the darkest brown into balck so they are like a warm black, I will check the site and see if I can remember.

CathyD If you look after them they don't ladder they are very strong much more so than any other tights. I have several pairs and they're all years old. I've never had to bin a pair!
