are we still allowed to wear nude tights? !

[Missanneshirley]

I've just come across a very lovely pair of beige/nude shoes (court shoes for wany of a better word) - I'd wear them with jeans and a going out top I think but would also like to wear with going out dresses- what goes on my legs?

BTW I live in Scotland, and my legs are generally so white they verge on blue - bare legs not an option !!

I would occasionally do Sally hansened bare legs for eg a summer wedding or night out. But I'm looking at a night out at the end of this month and gave these lovely shoes, a potential dress and a ? ? ? in between re what to do with my legs! Surely even leggy blondes don't do bare legs in Nov? I usually play it safe with black or coloured opaques and black shoes but pretty sick of it!

"Have" these lovely shoes not gave!

Wear the nude tights. They're really the only option to wear with nude shoes and they're gradually making a comeback.

Saying nude tights are making a comeback is like saying white t-shirts are making a comeback - they never went away! :o

I wear nude tights on the rare occasion that icwear a dress.

Wasn't aware that they were a no no?

I would wear the nude tights.

Gosh, are there clothes we aren't allowed to wear?

I think I missed the Mumsnet memo that said nude tights weren't allowed. I love nude tights apart from at the very height of summer when it's not practically in the interest of maintaining a fresh undercarriage.

Nude tights are fine, just avoid those really shiny ones.

I wear nude tights when required - they look fine IMO.

You allowed to wear what you like. Asking for permission is a little silly, really.

Obviously you can wear whatever you want to. I haven't worn tights for years, prefer to wear stockings or socks. Tights and my froo froo are not friends.

I wear nude hold ups, tights are the work of the devil imo, and always have. Blotchy, blue legs are not a good look and it is too cold for Sally Hansen now.

Thanks for all the sensible replies ! Clearly my title was tongue in cheek and I wear whatever I like ...HOWEVER I am so rarely in the position to get dressed up and go out somewhere "trendy" that I'd like to look half decent when I do it! And I am definitely not up to date with "fashion" so thought I would ask some more knowledgeable people!
I used to wear those boots shine and sheer things which in retrospect made your legs look like shiny sausages. So I will look for matt!

Oh I hadn't thought of hold ups! I was scared away from them after they kept falling down at a work do, and I ended up drunkenly tearing them off and going bare legged, it wasn't pretty

Wear what you like but I wouldn't, they're frumpy and mumsy (and sorry I know some folk hate those words but I can't think of others that sum it up so well) in my opinion... And yes it can make life difficult in winter..

nude mesh might be the answer?

Avoid the really matt and the really shiny ones. There's a happy medium...sainsburys are good

happygirl how can you tell someone is wearing them? Unless they look like Nora batty I can't really see how they look mumsy?

Nude tights absolutely bankrupt me. They're one wear horrors

Can anyone recommend a brand that doesn't ladder on a first wear?

there are gold shimmer nude tights and don't forget patterns e.g. stripes, mesh, etc. go to a Leggs store and see what you fancy.

Thanks all! Lolling at me just nipping to a Leggs store but I will see if they are online. Mesh sounds terrifying - fishnet? !! Patten tempting tho.. off to browse online..
