Tights with sandals?

25 replies

Cloudhopping · 13/06/2019 09:00

Would value honest opinions!

I have a couple of smart events coming up (including a wedding) and I think high heeled sandals would look better than closed toes. My legs aren’t too bad but are very pale and I think natural tights would look better. Is it ever ok to wear tights with sandals?!!!

Not really with open-toed ones ..... you can get toe-less tights which may work though. Never have for me as my white toes are always a different colour and the sandal straps never fall where the tights end, so it looks naff.

But in the spirit of "life's too short .....", wear whatever you like & think looks fine. Anyone who genuinely has an opinion on the day clearly has nothing else to worry about!!

No, tights and open toe shoes are never a good idea! Just go bare legged - I'm sure you'll look lovely Smile

SrSteveOskowski · 13/06/2019 10:49

Nope. Never, ever, ever.

Deliheaven · 13/06/2019 10:51

I also think no. I also think the toeless tights look weird, like toes have burst out through the tights!
Bare legs will be fine and agree with sally Hansen or some of the tanning moisturisor if you want some colour

museumum · 13/06/2019 10:56

nope. never. but if you want to wear tights then you can get quite strappy light shoes that are closed at the toe.

Lexilooo · 13/06/2019 11:25

Only if they are closed toe sandals or ones with just a peep toe so the open toe ones look ok.

neveradullmoment99 · 13/06/2019 12:11

I really don't get the 'not with open to sandals' Why the fuck not?
Does it really matter? Honestly, I have worn black tights and opened toed sandals and thought it looked fine. No one died in horror.

Haha Noeuf I’m not entirely convinced I could pull off the lilac tights/silver sandals combo!

Thanks for your input everyone. I think I’ll have a look at some closed toe strappy shoes, see if they work. I’m just rubbish at accessorising so may come back to get some opinions

It definitely is a look to wear dark tights with sandals (although Not an easy one to pull off) but nude tights with sandals isn’t statement enough to be THAT look and just looks like you’re hoping people won’t notice you’re wearing tights

BubblesBuddy · 13/06/2019 14:11

Don’t assume the weather will be fine! Always have closed toe shoes available unless you want squelchy feet all day. Or buy a midi dress then no one notices your legs. If you buy barely there tights and wear closed toe you will be just fine at a formal event.

I've worn open toe tights in this situation. You need one of the straps on the sandals to cover the point where the tights end and then it looks fine.

BigRedBoat · 13/06/2019 20:23

Leg makeup - sally Hansen airbrush legs is great but I'm sure there are others.

SouthWestmom · 13/06/2019 21:26

I have a more upmarket version for you op.

No OP please don't wear tights with sandals.

One of, those rights are fabulous. Can you see what they are from your search?

dudsville · 15/06/2019 23:02

Thank you for the link (and for understanding my typo was directed at you!)

fancynancyclancy · 16/06/2019 10:39

nude fishnets are best for the no tights look. It sounds weird but it works. I used to do this as a tween/teen in dance comps, all the celebs do it too.

SouthWestmom · 16/06/2019 11:44

Oh yes I love that look. I need somewhere to go now.
