penlady Posted August 5, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Well, maybe not so silly perhaps others have wondered about this also. When, wearing a pair of open shoes in the evening when you are all dressed up when wearing open toe shoes have you ever worn stockings with them or do you wear bare feet I know some women in America that would be horrified if they saw stockings on legs that had open neck shoes. What are your thoughts on this please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisybel Posted August 5, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I buy tights with an open toe -that seems to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted August 5, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Depends on what else I am wearing. If wearing a dress that calls for dark stockings, I buy the ones with sandal feet. EM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted August 6, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2021 As an observer, I would say that a reinforced toe stocking with an open toe shoe would be yuck- but a sheer foot (is that a term?) would be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissie Posted August 6, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Does anyone where stockings anymore? I stopped years ago - I wear a long skirt or trousers with sandals. I also wear dance sandals so I'd never wear stockings with them anyways (they wouldn't have a enough grip) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisybel Posted August 6, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 6, 2021 No not Yuck. Lovely sheer tan tights with a big toe hole so that holds the tight’s foot in place and shows all bare toes and also nicely “tanned” legs. if I am wearing something black then of course sheer black tights for a knee length dress and closed shoes. If I am wearing a long dress it would usually just be open sandals with bare legs and feet.Penlady - as long as you are happy and comfortable 😍😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tacticalbanjo Posted August 6, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Another here who buys open toe tights. I'm a big fan of tights with grippy soles too. You don't have to worry about losing your shoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Victoria2 Posted August 6, 2021 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Evening trousers and long dresses solve any tights dilemma for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exlondoner Posted August 6, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I never wear tights with open toed shoes. Saves an increasing amount of time dressing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess as long as I feel comfortable it really does not matter what anyone else would think. Never looked at it from that point of view before. I wear stockings every day unless I am home.

shipgeeks Posted August 6, 2021 #11 Share Posted August 6, 2021 The lockdown, sitting all day instead of doing aerobics, led to my getting a lot of spider veins. So I will be wearing pantihose (tights) any time I wear a knee-length skirt. I've never felt comfortable in strappy sandals, so my shoes are either closed-toe, or peep toe, both with open sides. I wear sheer skintone ones for dressier evenings, or tan fishnet ones (like dancers wear). Either type is comfortable, as long as the size is correct.

Tonopah Posted August 6, 2021 #12 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I honestly wouldn’t notice what others had on their feet. I would wear dance tights with short dresses and knee hi dance socks or no socks with long dresses/trousers. Who looks at toes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
