I've never worn them myself, but my understanding is that the holes are so small that you don't really see them, and what is created is more of a sheen on the legs. So if you haven't tried them yet, I would still check them out to see if by chance they would work.</p> <p>Another option is to wear sheer, patterned white tights, as in the picture I've attached. Or would&nbsp;sheer be too see-through for you? The woman in the photo is a blogger whom&nbsp;Angie featured on the YLF&nbsp;blog:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/02/19/corporate-chic-with-a-preppy-twist/">http://youlookfab.com/2014/02/.....ppy-twist/</a>. </p> <p>We recently had a couple of discussions about white tights on the forum. The general consensus was to stay away from opaque white tights, but sheer white tights (especially with a pattern, as shown) are OK. Here are the links to the forum posts in case you're interested:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-tights-dated">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ghts-dated</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-stockings-on-the-loose">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-the-loose</a></p> <p>Several posters in those threads commented that finding nude hose to match their skin tone was difficult, so you're not alone! :^)</p> <p>I would try to avoid black tights for a May wedding. To me, they seem out of place. I would go for a maxi dress before opting for the black tights option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-a-fashionless-girl#post-1211534 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 18:49:02 +0000 Fashionless 1211534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are AWESOME!!! I'm doing some work right now so I'll look at all of this again later, but thank you so much.</p> <p>I'd prefer to wear tights with a dress, but anything that's see-through won't work (eg - fishnets). I wouldn't mind wearing opaque tights but I don't know how that would look. I wore them once but couldn't find a color to match my skin tone so it kinda looked funny... like I got a tan in some parts of my body but not others lol. Would black opaque tights be&nbsp;bad for a May wedding?</p> <p>I'll definitely be looking into finding a maxi also :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-a-fashionless-girl#post-1211493 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 18:13:23 +0000 Inge 1211493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to suggest nude micro fishnets. And I too love the idea of a dressy jumpsuit or lightweight flowy/wide-legged trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-a-fashionless-girl#post-1211485 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 18:03:33 +0000 catgirl 1211485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/oroblu-tricot-fishnet-tights/3149190?origin=category&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0&#038;cm_ven=Linkshare&#038;cm_cat=partner&#038;cm_pla=10&#038;cm_ite=1&#038;siteId=fV7QgDWUWe0-AYVy6lSdQBUa45Gvy18jQQ" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/or.....45Gvy18jQQ</a></p> <p>And I found cheaper ones at Target in black although the Oroblu are better quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-a-fashionless-girl#post-1211483 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 18:00:23 +0000 catgirl 1211483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mini fishnets! In nude for you or black... Totally appropriate and camouflage everything from dry skin to stubble! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-a-fashionless-girl#post-1211476 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 17:57:08 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1211476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would hose cover enough of your legs to make you comfortable? I suspect hose in a color might work well, and give you more options in dresses/skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-a-fashionless-girl#post-1211452 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 17:34:05 +0000 rachylou 1211452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these suggestions. I also wouldn't have a problem with the wearing of stockings - that's actually the most formal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-a-fashionless-girl#post-1211430 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 17:02:10 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1211430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the idea of a maxi dress, too, and agree that black and white one that Viva suggested is fab for the occasion. I could also see the cobalt and white one working beautifully for the wedding you describe. <br />If it's knees and ankles you need to cover, there's a possibility you could go with a midi-length dress and <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/joes-evin-caged-sandal/3560703?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=BONE%2F+NATURAL&amp;resultback=6530&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-2_19_A" rel="nofollow">caged</a> or <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/stuart-weitzman-gladiator-sandal/3436390?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=TRUFFLE&amp;resultback=608&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_2_A" rel="nofollow">gladiator</a> type sandals that cover the ankle. <br />These styles might draw more attention to your legs than you want, but maybe worth a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-a-fashionless-girl#post-1211391 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 15:57:22 +0000 ironkurtin 1211391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of long flowy pants.&nbsp; </p> <p><a href="http://www.shopbop.com/mens-sole-slipper-lagence/vp/v=1/1568540175.htm?folderID=18788&amp;fm=other-shopbysize-viewall&amp;colorId=12867" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/mens-so.....ther-shopb</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-a-fashionless-girl#post-1211371 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 15:04:07 +0000 Fashionless 1211371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG I love that black and white one!!!

It's all about how you accessorize.

It's a great solution and you can wear a maxi again -- easy to dress up or down.<br />Here are some to consider.

I thought about that but also wondered if it would be fancy enough, the venue is somewhat upscale.</p> <p>I never wear anything other than jeans and sneakers.. ever.

I have to go to a wedding next month and plan to wear a dress.. the problem is that I have issues with the skin on my legs (psoriasis on knees and ankles). Makeup doesn't cover it so I don't know how I can wear a dress but still cover my legs. If it were a winter wedding I'd go with black tights, but I don't know how that would look at a spring wedding.</p> <p>Can someone please give me advice on how to dress up for this wedding without showing my legs? I'd prefer to wear a short dress but don't know how to make it work. Any advice would be appreciated, I'm lost.</p> </p> <p>PS - I'm trying to avoid pants. I have many events coming up&nbsp;in the&nbsp;same month (with similar people)&nbsp;where I can wear pants, I feel this calls for something a little dressier.</p>
