Much prettier and dressier than black opaque.&nbsp;</p> <p>Personally, I don't wear sheer hose with backless footwear. To my eye, it looks a lot more finished and polished when the pump has a back, if you know what I mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-current-wisdom-on-legwear-for-evening#post-1551776 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 20:18:34 +0000 Anonymous 1551776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Either no hosiery or sheers, probably black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-current-wisdom-on-legwear-for-evening#post-1551771 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 20:11:42 +0000 Anonymous 1551771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on the outfit for me: if it's an edgier piece, I may go for opaques, but I'd pair them with heavier footwear (boots, shoeties, stacked or chunky heel), not delicate pumps. If it's a more formal event or my clothing item and footwear are more delicate or classic, then I definitely opt for sheers.<br /> ETA I have a preference for almost black sheers over black. Based on the fact your footwear has delicate straps, that's probably what I'd choose, though I've never worn sheer hosiery with open-back shoes so don't know if it might run more easily in the heel area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-current-wisdom-on-legwear-for-evening#post-1551760 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 19:56:16 +0000 Amy 1551760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sheers seem more formal to me, which is what I'd wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-current-wisdom-on-legwear-for-evening#post-1551744 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 19:32:00 +0000 Elle 1551744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black opaques can look a bit heavy, especially with such delicate (and cute heels). &nbsp;I'd lean toward black or nude sheers or (depending on your style) possibly black hose with a pattern (diamonds, polka dots etc). &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-current-wisdom-on-legwear-for-evening#post-1551733 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 19:23:17 +0000 always trying 1551733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have an answer, but anxious to hear what others have to say.

Are we trending back to sheers? &nbsp;Black, almost black, or nude? &nbsp;<b>What looks most current for after 5 semi-formal? &nbsp;</b>Photos based on your advice after Labor Day.<br /><b></b><br />Thanks a bunch! </p>
