People talk on here about wearing nude fishnet tights in the summer...

I haven't seen this.
Does it look ok?
Am dubious...

I've bought some. Cod reckoned it would be awful but never came back to my thread to tell me what I should be wearing. Apparantly sheer nude tights are Grannyish and I don't want to wear black/barely black in summer.

I think they look fab.

Yes it looks good. Buy them quite dark as they will look much lighter once you get them on. My favourites are Wolford Twenties in Honey.

What do you wear them with thewn?

I need an image to play with in mah head.

Ooooh! Interested. Where do you get them from?

I love mine - esp micronets. As an added bonus, they last much longer too

yes

they are v ladylike

i love them

buy them in john lewis or somewhere equally posh

Is Micronets a brand?

Do they cover varicose veins minor blemishes?

If not & those who wear them have nice enough legs to go bare, I don't really understand the point

No, they are a type of fishnet with smaller holes. I wear them for work a lot as they withstand everything

Micronets have a finer mesh with smaller holes than a fishnet. Levante make a nice micronet. It is not a brand.

yy to the bruises etc. I have yukky white, bruised legs and they look better in fishnet than sheer

Fishnets or micro nets cover a multitude of lumps, bumps and blemishes. That is why Las Vegas showgirls wear them. They are super flattering. Two pairs together will give you the best legs you can get.

I realy like them - saw several pairs out in London today and wished I had some. Usually get a pair or two for summer from M and S but they don't seem to have them this year. Any other suggestions for where to get besides Levante?

I usually get mine in M&S - not looked so far this year though. I'm hoping to be able to get some hold ups, as they are much cooler than tights in the summer.

Picture anyone? I'm having difficulty imagining these....

Have a look on www.mytights.com

thanks, I have bought from there before. Do these tights look ok with say, a cotton dress? My legs are not the best colour and have horrid veins!
