Yanbu!! It's not just the tights though. She has the most hideous taste in clothes. Have you noticed that snake skin jacket she wears? What about the shiny red shirt with the huge bow at the front? I can't understand it, I think she is really attractive and has a lovely figure! Confused

Who the hell is she?

She looks like she has dressed out of Working Girl.

I borrowed a pair of my dd's tights in an emergency. barely Black (she has to have them that colour as it is part of a uniform). They made my legs look hideous.

I didn't know they were out! I never wear tights so I'm not up to date with trends in tights.

She can wear what she bloody well likes.

They are tights, totally inoffensive normal tights.

How on earth could they bother anyone????

I personally dislike sheer black tights and especially on me. If I had been wearing that red dress, I would wear nude tights. I don't think opaques would be a vast improvement with the shoes she is also wearing.

Was I the only kid sent to the shop for their Mum's barely black or nearly black tights? Every Saturday without fail.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Post some sheer nude pix then, OP.

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

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.
