Tights with peep toe shoes?

Is it a fashion faux pas to wear tights with peep toe shoes?

The tights in question are black (so match the shoes) and have a sheer toe but I also have a nude pair which have open toes.

Need answer by this evening please!

i wouldn't. looks a bit naff. only if it was obviously on purpose - ie think/patterned tights/socks with a completely contrasting shoe and a quirky dress 70's or Grunge chic i think is the only way to carry it off.

I really wouldn't, it makes me think of my gran sorry Blush

Only with bright funky clashing colours, eg teal tights with green / purple shoes

Not sure what happened to my punctuation there Confused sorry.

Only if it's a kind of statement. Otherwise no, sorry.

Put foundation on your legs instead.

are the nude open toe ones really really sheer? I think that's fine - after all that's what they are designed for, right?

Black or American Tan closed toe tights with peep toe shoes or sandals remind me of my mum. Not really in a good way! Grin (sorry Mum!)

(We might be too late) OP what did you do in the end?

I went for the nude open toe tights with bright pink toenails - it looked fab! Yes you were all right - the black ones looked terrible.

Marks & spencer sell tights with a peephole toe. I've bought them for my daughter before.

Thanks Honey, that's exactly what I had although Pretty Polly I think.
