Or is that a fashion faux pas?!

How about swapping the black tights for micro-nets? (depending on how short your skirt is. If it's above the knee, maybe don't....)

What's a micro net?!

Faux pas. Peep toes = bare feet.
HTH

Definite no-no.. the clue is in the name.. peep TOE not peep TIGHT SEAM Grin

shave those legs and get some fake tan on and !!!

Micro-net is like a fish-net, only with much smaller holes, so slightly more sophisticated. And it means that your legs (and more importantly, toes) will have the appearance of being a bit bare, so peep toes become more acceptable. To be honest though, if you've got closed toe shoes,I'd wear those. Opened toed shoes in the winter are a bit nineties/ Sex and the City.

In my opinion, I should add. Anyone who can manage open toes and bare legs in the winter has a much higher freeze tolerance than me.

I have a wedding to go to next week, what do you wear on your legs to a winter wedding?!

How about nude tights, with no toe seam?

Puffykins · 16/12/2011 10:13

Tights! And closed toe shoes!

Alliwantisaroomsomewhere · 16/12/2011 10:14

NO! Do NOT wear tights and peep toe shoes.

Puffykins · 16/12/2011 10:14

No to nude tights as well ....

wordfactory · 16/12/2011 10:16

I was wondering this. I have some fab peep toe shoe boots and wanted to wear some sort of fish net affair.

I will look up these micro wotsits.

ViviPrudolf · 16/12/2011 10:17

Rules are meant to be broken, OP

If you're set on black peep-toes, I think it would work best with some bright tights.

ViviPrudolf · 16/12/2011 10:19

BaublesandCuntingCarolSingers · 16/12/2011 10:23

I would, and have done.

It looks nice if they're the right type of shoes and you're wearing the right type of dress (like Vivi's second link) I think it's a bit old-fashioned to say that you can't.

Opaques better than nudes tights imo if you wear peep toes and tights.
Incidently opaques and peeptoes fine for Chloe Moritz so is good enough for anyone I think. www.sugarscape.com/node/677865.

Bare legs and fake tan in winter for WAGS and Essex girls only.

ViviPrudolf · 16/12/2011 10:29

Just be careful you don't bust a Sarah Brown fail

TheScarlettPimpernel · 16/12/2011 10:29

Ooo, a peep toe and contrasting tights is LOVELY.

It needs to be a comparatively 'blocky' shoe, pref. with a concealed platform for instance.

Black shoes - coloured rights. Red is gorgeous.

You can buy opaques with specially designed (almost concealed) toe seams.

BaublesandCuntingCarolSingers · 16/12/2011 10:35

I am with Gamer; I would definitely rather see opaques-tighted legs than bare/nude-tighted legs in the winter. I'm shivering just thinking about it!

HMTheQueen · 16/12/2011 10:57

what about these

Toeless tights!

ViviPrudolf · 16/12/2011 10:58

just all kinds of wrong, them

BaublesandCuntingCarolSingers · 16/12/2011 11:00

Nooooooooooooo not the dreaded toeless tights AGGGGGGHHHHH!

DoesNotGiveAFig · 16/12/2011 11:01

Another vote for micro net or bright contrasting tights here!

tinkertitonk · 16/12/2011 11:05

The toe part of tights looks dreadful, even, or maybe especially, when worn with open-toed shoes. So if you insist on the shoes then I insist on bare legs. Of course in the winter this will say "I am a brazen hussy". Which is not such a bad thing to be actually, since weddings are all about sex anyway.
