I have bottle green suede heels and I'm not sure if I should go for nude tights or very black sheer tights. It's for a winter wedding and I haven't worn sheer black tights since the 90s but I quite like the idea? Would you go nude or black

Nude, sorry but black would look awful imho.

Twoshoesnewshoes · 14/10/2024 20:33

Nude, especially if you have coloured shoes.

PreggersWithBaby2 · 14/10/2024 20:35

Nude for sure! Stunning dress 😍

IHaveNeverLivedintheCastle · 14/10/2024 20:41

Either. I think black would be better. And you can wear black with coloured shoes.

piccolorhinoceros · 14/10/2024 20:46

Personally I'd go bare legs. No need for tights, unless you particularly want to wear them.

Will definitely need tights - the wedding is in January in the far north of Scotland, it'll be Baltic and I'll look very out of place with bare legs. 🤣

I think I'll have a try on session and see what I like best. I don't hold with you can't wear black tights with coloured shoes as long as the tights are very sheer and not in complete contrast with the shoes. I think my problem with nude tights is that I can never seem to get the colour just right.

I doubt it, I'm Scottish and it's perfectly normal to have bare legs at a winter wedding 🤷🏻‍♀️ plus the point of nude tights is that you shouldn't be able to see them anyway.

Nude or Suntan, John Lewis own brand, Barely There are great.

Mygreyhair · 14/10/2024 22:35

Oooh I’d do fishnets.

bridgetreilly · 14/10/2024 22:40

Black tights with black shoes only, imo.

Nude tights with your green shoes.

I'm Scottish too. I think bare legs in winter look terrible.

CuriousRunner · 14/10/2024 22:51

I vote nude
(And I STILL can't get used to Next stocking other brands. I'm old!)

italianlondongirl · 14/10/2024 22:56

Nude fishnets!!

Bare legged with one layer of tinted mousse moisturiser

I'm also Scottish and have been to many winter weddings over the years. At the weddings I've been to, it's been very rare to see someone bare legged at a formal winter wedding. Summer, or a more low key, casual event, of course.

These tights recommendations are gorgeous, thank you.

What a beautiful dress.
Nude tights would be perfect.

WillowtreeHouse · 15/10/2024 06:51

Definitely decided on nude, I had a wee try on session last night and the tights I have aren't quite the right shade but the overall look is definitely nicer. Have checked out the Woolford and Falke sites above and they have some beautiful tights.

I would wear a dressy knee high boot with them myself but I’m not up to date with what’s wedding appropriate

MushMonster · 15/10/2024 07:06

Nude

Sunnyperiods · 15/10/2024 08:05

Sheer dark green or red (if they exist)
