you can get what are called 'sandal tights' that dont have a seam at the front, or anywhere on the foot for that matter. They are very fine and personally I think better than lillywhite legs. Juts my opinion though.

Not even black fishnets with strappy silver sandals and a nice bit of red nail varnish peeking through? REally?

Oh, that's OK, Snafu.

Mainly because you clearly don't give a damn about your appearance.

Well tbh I would'nt go for the silver sandals.

White patent platform sandals are much better IMO.

NO way!!

Even though you can get tights for open toe sandals and even those with no toes in they are just naff! Go without!

Oh, no, nothing at all. I expect white patent is seen as very stylish...in Barnsley.

Wherever that is.

Hehehehe.

God no! Hideous! When I lived in Russia,women used to wear hideous little socklet things (made out of the same material as tights) in their sandals. Can you imagine.that foul trussed toe look and bare legs. The worst of both worlds.

There's something so lewd about the word 'peep' isn't there?
