Skin coloured tights for work yes or no?

[BananaPie]

Office based job: is it better to wear skin coloured tights in this weather or just go with bare legs? Any views?

Start with barely there nude tights and take them off in the loo if you are the only one wearing tights! Easy! Good luck.

I think tights look really odd even nude ones in hot weather but best be cautious I suppose just in case it's frowned upon.

Some offices that are air conditioned expect tights so it's best to be cautious on first day.

Definitely nude tights. They don't look odd at all.

I'd be surprised if anyone even noticed whether you had tights on or not.

I'd never even consider not wearing tights personally for work. But then my legs are a bit pale and veiny. Decent ones you can't really tell anyway. As said above, wear them and you can always take them off

I wear nude tights on all but the most sweltering of summer days (and we don't get many of those in Yorkshire!). Bare legs just feels unprofessional to me.

I hate nude tights. Not on others, just on me. They make my legs look really weird. I'm black opaques most of the year then bare legs. Legs quite pale too.

Sally Hansen leg make up. Makes your legs look perfect so you couldn't tell if you're wearing tights or not.

I have never found nude toghts that look good on my legs so I am either black opaque or Sally Hansen air brush leg make up. My legs are quite an eyesore though

How long does it take to apply the Sally Hansen stuff? Does it rub onto other clothes / car etc?

Office-based can mean a lot of things.

If it's the sort of place where men never take off their ties, and head office emails saying "You may take off your jackets as it is 30C" then tights.

I would do bare legs, only cause skin coloured tights look strange on me! I don't think it's unprofessional in the slightest.

Skin colour tights are a definate no-no for me. Always bare legs at this time of year.

I'm office based in London. Definitely not nude tights, especially in this weather. Bare legs with the Sally Hansen, or Benefit's Bathina to give a bit of shimmer. If the occasion demands leg covering, as it were, then I will give in to skin tone hold ups, but only under sufferance (Calzedonia do the best ones IMO).

Black opaques during the autumn/winter (and last week when it was freezing and raining ).

Definitely nude tights, IMO. Bare legs just look too casual for the office.

Agree nude tights looks more professional.

Tights look more professional but in this heat I don't think anyone would blame you for going bare legged.

mammmamia I find it's best applied with a tanning mitt. And I let it dry and sink in a little. But it needs warm water and soap/shower gel to come off properly.

Agree it's too hot for tights at the moment.
