to object to Susanna Reids predilection for nasty sheer black tights?

[HanneHolm]

its got to stop.

Evidence for the prosecution

I was about to say YABU but on looking at the evidence...

She is a very attractive lady and I like her dress. Why is she ruining it with those '80s horrors? Black opaques would have been better but then I think that everything looks better with black opaques so I probably shouldn't really have an opinion on this...

I think sheer black tights are coming back. Heaven help us all.

I don't know who that is.

I strongly dislike black tights that are not opaque.

Better than bright orange legs though.

Yes better than the bright orange legs with the corned beef effect from wearing no tights in mid-winter.

Oh God, I wear them all the time for work. I had no idea I was making such a faux pas. I promise not to do it again!

I'm not a fan of sheer black tights. Nor of corned beef legs, nor of bare legs unless in summer hols mode or on the beach.

Micronets (black or nude) or opaques are my preferred options. However, sheer black tights are on sale everywhere so someone must be buying them, not just Susanna Reid.

Opaques are forgiving. Sheers are not!

i think they had their place - in the 90s maybe. I think she should have gone sheer or opaque

sheer nude i mean.

and she has them on almost every day on the news

What's the problem, OP. You seem to take it as given, with no analysis.

I see a shit frock, nasty heels, and, most importantly, an unforgiving angle.

Nice legs, though.

analysis? like what?

Post some sheer nude pix then, OP.

Having said that, I think they always look shite on everyone in RL.

Well yes, you have a point with sheer nude - and under the lights they might just shine

Very 80s!

I like her, though, so I shall defend her right to wear them :-)

The shoes are truly ghastly!

I lurrve Susanna Reid and think she looks gorgeous. I also love the look of women in any tights. Win/win for me!

She looks lovely in them. In fact she look lovely in everything she wears. I imagine your DH has commented on how sexy she is, so you are feeling the need to slag her off. Jealous post.

They are cool again though everyone will be in them by xmas she's ahead of you all!

I never realised they weren't cool. I have loads of pairs. Particularly hate barely black though. So yabu.

I don't know if they are "cool" or not but I just don't like them. They make weird shadows on your legs.

I don't think any black tights would look good with a red dress though

Actually just looked at the picture and have to agree that doesn't look that nice. So you a only b a bit u

I personally think opaques are old fashioned, probably because they were fashionable when i was a teenager and early twenties so i wore them all the time. So i just find them naff.

Also don't feel the need to slag off the clothes of choice of a woman who happens to be on telly. I find it bitchy and unnecessary, but then perhaps that's just me. Im always uncomfortable with women slagging each other off, especially when its about something as superficial as what clothes they chose to wear. I always think it says a lot more about the one doing the bitching than the one being bitched about.
