What tights/shoes combo do you wear for spring/

Whilst I'm looking forward to the warm weather and wearing lighter clothes for work, I'm secretly dreading having to shed my opaque tights and boots and revealing my legs horrible white fat knees.

What footwear and tights do you wear for work? I'm looking for some inspiration - I need fairly low heels/flats as I have a walk to the station each day and our office is located on an old cobbled street - very tricky with heels!

I go with opaque until normally about March but still in them now cos of long winter, then go to semi opaques for spring. You can get a really nice 30 denier from M&S which are really soft and matt, can't think of name but they are quite semi so don't look too heavy but obviously cover your legs well. They come in navy, brown, plum and I think brighter colours (if thats your thing).
Summer wise or very hot days if I'm just in office bare legs but if out and in smart mode 7 or 10denier black or nude with slight gloss (not too glossy otherwise it looks over the top I think).
Shoe wise, in office ballet shoes or kitten heel, something comfy. If out at meetings nude shoes (but only with nude tights or bare legs) or black shoes (black tights OR nude). My 'out' shoes tend to be high but I drive in pumps to save scuffing heels.

No oiled leg ones on the M&S website. Are they a seasonal thing that has disappeared now winter is over?

Thanks Poly... I was making the mistake of looking under 'Autograph' Smile
