Tights and open toed shoes

[ZombieBoob]

Is tights and open toed shoe OK or not? Debate going on with my mum.

What's your thoughts?

No

Never ok

Not for me.
You can get this kind. Never tried them though. I use fake tan instead.

No.

Well I agree it’s not ideal but I have done it. Either:

• opaque tights with black shoes which I actually think it’s fine tbh as long as no holes or dodgy looking toes.
• nude tights with open toes shoes but more like peep toe, or just not too much toe on show.

I personally find shoes with no socks unbearably uncomfortable and much prefer to have tights on if I can get away with it.

It doesn’t look good if the toe opening is quite wide and you have 3 or more whole toes on display with tights on.

out of interest, is it you or your mother who is team-tights?

No. It gives me the heebie jeebies.

Ooh that’s a big no from me!

I've done it! I had some wedge slider type shoes from whistles and wore them with black tights. It looked kinda cool imo.

Hell no

No!

No never - that’s the worst

I've certainly done it but I know lots of people don't agree with it. Black / opaque tights with cool sandals/ wedges can definitely look nice / on trend.

Never ok in my opinion. That includes those awful tights that have separate holes for the toes.

It's either warm enough to go bare legged or not. If not wear a closed toe shoe or boot.

Strappy sandals and opaque black tights also gives 'strictly rehearsal' vibes.

No, it’s never ok

No. A friend of mine does this and it always looks awful.

I'm team no mum is team yes. I googled it and there's loads saying it's fine

Absolutely no bloody way. I'm in my 40s. My mum in her 70s would probably say it's fine too.

But this is the woman who used to make me wear a slip under my school skirt in the 90s.....

No no no

Just do whatever is comfortable. I don’t personally mind how other people wear their clothing.

Only if it's high fashion

I know lots of older women who wear tights or pop socks with sandals (usually skin coloured so not very obvious) - they want to wear sandals but don't feel comfortable with bare feet for whatever reason. I don't think they're wrong to please themselves, and really very few people are going to notice let alone judge. They've got their reasons, let them get on with it.

Having said that on Sunday I saw some Japanese tourists in Soho on Sunday rocking that look and they definitely pulled it off.

Not OK.

I have some Dr Marten white leather sandals with a chunky black platform base and I wear tights with them because they tear my feet up otherwise.
I think this is the kind of look you can wear if you’re young and/or a bit quirky.

I wouldn’t wear tights with any other open toe shoes tough, and especially not if I was going for a dressed up look at a wedding/races, etc.
