Funeral: nude or black legs?

Nude leg is tights (hold ups actually) not bare.
The black leg is actually a random stocking so I will have to get some tights or hold ups. I mostly have super thick winter tights this time of year - rarely need to wear normal tights.

Thanks

Black.

minipie · 10/11/2024 14:50

I would be wearing black opaques for warmth.

Black tights, but more opaque than the one in the photo would be my choice.

Greentreesandbushes · 10/11/2024 14:52

Black opaque tights.

I hope it goes as well as can be.

TurningPointe · 10/11/2024 14:54

Darker black for definite.

OnlyWhenILaugh · 10/11/2024 14:54

I was at a funeral in Friday and most tights were opaque black.

mongoliandoll · 10/11/2024 14:57

Oh you lots are good. Thanks.
Do you mean 40 denier? 20? Not the really thick 200 ones surely? The dress is a thin fabric.

Most of my tights are 80 denier so I'd wear those.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Itsalwaysfools · 10/11/2024 15:00

Please don't do this.

Please don't do this.

What?

OP posts:
OnlyWhenILaugh · 10/11/2024 15:05

I would have said 70 plus

mitogoshigg · 10/11/2024 15:06

40 or more is better

Oreyt · 10/11/2024 15:06

Even the black ones aren't thick enough.

PieEllaBakewell · 10/11/2024 15:06

I'd wear 40 denier. Warm but not too opaque.

Hellisemptyallthdevilsarehere · 10/11/2024 15:07

Definitely opaque black

mongoliandoll · 10/11/2024 15:09

I think 40 opaque will be ideal.

Thanks.

And thanks for the good wishes. I will be glad went it's behind me, the bit between the death and the funeral is hard.

I agree, thicker black opaque tights would look better than the nude ones, and keep you warm too. Many condolences.

CelebrateAndDream · 10/11/2024 16:24

Definitely thicker black tights...I'm a celebrant and at the moment I'm wearing 40 denier to my services, but come December/January I'll be wearing my really thick woolly tights!

Sorry for your loss OP xx

Helpimfalling · 10/11/2024 16:27

A darker black but defo black x

mongoliandoll · 13/11/2024 19:45

Boots and Tesco only do packs of 3 so now I have a lifetime's supply.
Tesco didn't have anything in my size on the shop floor. A shop worker had a look in the stores and found only 60 denier in my size so I got them.

They looked fine.

My eulogy went well and it's behind me now.
