What the heck would you wear on your legs for a winter night out?

I can't abide skin coloured tights but no way can I bare my legs.

nude and glossy. buy decent ones and they won't bag any more than any other tights. Be very careful with the colour match.

SinglePringle · 28/11/2014 18:26

It's not the baggyness. It's the shine - they're just too Kate Middleton for me and make even someone as young and pretty as her look middles aged.

atticusclaw · 28/11/2014 18:28

Disagree, they look glamorous as long as you get decent ones. No more than 7 denier and a perfect colour match.

SinglePringle · 28/11/2014 19:38

Oh no, I hate that shine.

Cocolepew · 28/11/2014 19:59

I wear nude micro fishnets from Primark with leopard print shoes.

SuperFlyHigh · 28/11/2014 20:00

I'd rather wear nude tights than bare my legs in fake tan or not and freeze my butt off.

SuperFlyHigh · 28/11/2014 20:01

cocolepew yes my ex colleague used to get nude fishnets at primark I'll look for the micro ones.

Bare legs in November = 100% chav.

NoelleHawthorne · 28/11/2014 20:06

'chav'? WTAF

DuelingFanjo · 28/11/2014 20:22

Do these 7 denier tights really keep legs warm? Also, if you are short and stout of leg with veins and so on, will they cover them up enough to make them look pretty?

Chav and proud! Grin

SinglePringle · 28/11/2014 20:52

Not chav (nice Hmm) just got cracking legs with no blemishes so can get away sans tights.

Darkchocsprinkles · 28/11/2014 21:09

Great dress - you'll look fab. Enjoy yourself Wink

Neverbuyheliumbalonz · 28/11/2014 21:11

This thread is awesome - 'Oily' nude tights, chavvy legs, the polarised views on fishnets!

OP, the red dress is lovely and I think it would look cool with leopard print shoes. As for legs, hmmmmm, fwiw I have worn nude micro fishnets before and thought they were a nice comprise between Kate Middleton style nude tights and my bare ass corn beef legs

SuperFlyHigh · 28/11/2014 21:48

Twinklestein I wouldn't go as far as chav but in my opinion bare legs in winter are not classy goose pimples anyone?! hides under stone

Fluffycloudland77 · 29/11/2014 09:12

Just buy some Sally Hansen leg make up in an aerosol. Job done.

Sonotkylie · 29/11/2014 11:18

I have learned a lot about tights. There seem to be as many opinions as there are legs. However, OP are you any closer to working out what to wear? Maybe jeans and a nice top?
