The american tan tights my Mum used to wear in the 80's gave a sandpaper like texture to her legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day/page/2#post-638349 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 17:01:23 +0000 Vicki 638349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Color is everything when it comes to nude hose and this will make or break the entire look. I'm just happy that there are those options that make leg play more fun, like fishnets and tights. Yet, there's still a place for all of these looks, including nude hose done well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day/page/2#post-633819 Thu, 31 May 2012 19:48:04 +0000 Inge 633819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hear, hear!-)<br /> (I was very happy to have on nude hose at my niece's garden party last month, they provided extra warmth and I felt extra stylish sporting them with my new cobalt pumps;- </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day/page/2#post-633811 Thu, 31 May 2012 19:37:26 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 633811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always found it on the strange side of interesting the conviction some felt on the issue of nude hose. I wondered why it was such a deal. I think I even wore a pair a few years ago for an evening event when opaque would not have worked with my dress and it was -20C outside. Not one person ridiculed me and it was a fashionable group of accountants (*smile* - no that is not an oxymoron LOL)</p> <p>Live and let live. I'm glad that those who love the nudes can wear them and those who don't can leave them off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day/page/2#post-633767 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:31:41 +0000 True Colors 633767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love nude-toned micro-fishnets, for how they "even out" my lily-white, 50-something legs with veins, scars, etc., and for how they keep me warm in air-conditioned settings. It is refreshing that our options keep expanding....for me, the key points are always: 1. Is it comfortable (in this case, in terms of temperature), 2. Is it age-appropriate? 3. Is it well suited to the situation/occasion? and 4. Is it flattering? If it's "yes" on all counts, go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day/page/2#post-633688 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:11:06 +0000 Meredith1953 633688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe that I forgot to include that as an item that I am out of sync with! I know that conventional fashion says no nude hose but I always wear them with dresses that are not just sundresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day/page/2#post-633681 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:07:42 +0000 Sveta 633681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am happy I did not commit a fashion crime wearing nude hose in Paris this spring: it was the only way I could wear dress there as I would not survive a full day of walking sans socks: my feet are too sensitive.<br /> In our Canadian climate we just cannot go bare legged for 7-8 months of the yearand opaques and dark textured tights are not always right look to wear with a certain dress or skirt. I only wish I could find hose with does not break the bank but comfortable on top: I hate when waistband digs into my body! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day/page/2#post-632980 Wed, 30 May 2012 21:43:42 +0000 eds 632980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just like so many fashion items, I've seen them come and go and come back again. Living in Texas, it is a blessing to not feel I need hose every time I put on a dress, but I do find at 55 that it is hard to pull of a polished look when I need to and be bare legged. Will be happy to see more of them on people. Funny with the fishnets, too... wore those in junior high, in all colors of the rainbow... wouldn't have been caught dead in those for many years, and then they were back again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day/page/2#post-632979 Wed, 30 May 2012 21:42:54 +0000 Angie 632979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, 99.9% if the women in Japan wear hose - granted, it's not all nude - but a lot of it is. It's extremely hard finding a frumpy lady in Japan :)</p> <p>Yup. Nude hose never went out of style in Europe. It's true that it's not always easy to find a great skin tone match, though. </p> <p>Claire, OF COURSE you can leave off the hose in Phoenix!!!</p> <p>Vildy, you crack me up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day/page/2#post-632944 Wed, 30 May 2012 21:11:33 +0000 Anonymous 632944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thrilled that nude hose are back! I even feel that I can get by with a bit shorter skirts if wearing nude stockings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day/page/2#post-632936 Wed, 30 May 2012 21:04:33 +0000 Marie 632936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here in the "cool" Bay Area, perfectly-matched-nude-hose has never been "out." Women wear hose to work, church, weddings, etc. I work in the financial industry &amp; we are not even ALLOWED to have bare legs "hey, I don't make the rules."</p> <p>LOL @ Vildy I am guilty of copying Kate Middleton's blue Issa engagement dress, nude hose &amp; black pumps for my city hall daytime wedding last year </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day/page/2#post-632890 Wed, 30 May 2012 20:19:14 +0000 Kirti 632890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have seen a lot of French women wear nude hose this spring and it is not frumpy at all. I even bought a pair, but it is suddenly too warm for hose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632835 Wed, 30 May 2012 19:16:52 +0000 Kristin L 632835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think nude is great when it matches your skintone (or semi-matches). I don't get much chance to wear hose here in Georgia. But my best friend (a born and bred Georgia Peach) recently moved to Wisconsin and is discovering the wonderful world of hose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632793 Wed, 30 May 2012 18:28:13 +0000 Sylvie 632793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think nude hose is frumpy on me because I can never get a close match to my skin color. I think it looks fine on Kate Middleton though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632790 Wed, 30 May 2012 18:26:08 +0000 RoseandJoan 632790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After witnessing this strange sight at the weekend I would like to recommend not wearing your nude hose with toe post thong sandals. It looks both odd and dangerous for your circulation.</p> <p>YAY, for nude hose being acceptable again, however, I could never sport the look as a nude hose mutes my tattoos to the point they look like bruises </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632783 Wed, 30 May 2012 18:18:53 +0000 Anonymous 632783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like nude hose so I'm glad to see it's back!</p> <p>However, I do associate it with dressy or formal outfits. I've seen it worn in much more casual ways (like with denim shorts or minis) and can't wrap my head around this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632753 Wed, 30 May 2012 17:41:03 +0000 Anonymous 632753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just hope it never becomes frumpy to go sans hose during a hot Phoenix summer! I loved seeing Kate Middleton in her sheer, shimmery, perfect match nude hose last summer. I'm guessing it would cost a pretty penny to buy some that don't make my legs look like a barbequed potato chip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632742 Wed, 30 May 2012 17:26:53 +0000 Jjsloane 632742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should have added this to my fashion things I wear regardless of if they are in. I confess to LOVE nude hose. I have only started not wearing them in the total heat of summer and when I have open toes because I fear the mockery of my inner voice and coworkers (not that they would ever do this). I love the feel of control tops (again right size right shade) for some support and confidence I don't look too jiggly. </p> <p>Angie - Thank you for the pass to wear them again with aplomb! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632729 Wed, 30 May 2012 17:17:05 +0000 DonnaF 632729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whew! I hate, hate, hate the slippery feeling of my bare feet in close toed shoes, plus at my age the softened airbrushed look of hosiery looks much better than bare legs. I've always hated control tops, however, and let-it-all-hang-out hosiery tops are sometimes a challenge to find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632701 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:50:31 +0000 christieanne 632701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally forgot to go to look at hose at Nordstrom yesterday and meant to (those new fishnets Angie posted about are on my check it out list).<br /> What brands/styles of nude hose are people wearing (if anyone could import the Japanese hose we would appreciate it!). </p> <p>I like nude hose if it's the right tone for the individual. And I still like black hose or a lighter tight in fall instead of a dark, opaque. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632700 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:49:56 +0000 harmonica 632700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore nude hose (with pencil and knee high boots) before I fell into SAHM land and totally lost all style / fashion / trend knowledge. When I fianally came back, it was sooo dated and frumpy and I just wondered what happened. </p> <p>I support HelenIn Canada "Ultra sheer, high quality sheer hose is fine - and elegant ". It all comes down to applying a NUDE look (not tan or anything else)</p> <p>Playing quite safe in my style baby steps journey, I've been sticking mostly to opaque black, purple and grey. </p> <p>Summer in Norway can be chilly, so hose is (almost) always ok here, though I love bare skin and sandals </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632693 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:36:19 +0000 catgirl 632693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally can't stand nude hose on myself. Hate hose in general. But I've never had a problem with other people wearing it, and I had no idea it was out of style at any point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632683 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:14:52 +0000 Angie 632683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry I have to run, ladies. Again I 100% agree with what Suz said.</p> <p>Just to be clear: if it's too hot to wear nude hose - leave it off! But if you want to wear it - WEAR IT. </p> <p>Thanks, Jonesy :). I just love it when fashion is more open minded about things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632681 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:12:48 +0000 Amy 632681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing nude hose today...so I'm glad that doesn't make me frumpy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632676 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:09:16 +0000 Vildy 632676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only stopped wearing them because of my age. Soon as I saw Kate Middleton wear them, they were back on my legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632665 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:01:58 +0000 Jonesy 632665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You definitely rocked those super-sheer hose (shown perfectly in the site background) but I think it can be so tricky to find just the right shade and I think they suit a particular style (dressy, ladylike) better than others. But I agree that the more diversity and options the merrier :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632664 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:01:34 +0000 cheryl 632664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't ever really have the need or occasion to wear them but like everything else, i'm sure nude hose have come a long way. I remember wearing some called suntan that were almost orange, haha. Good times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632642 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:47:58 +0000 marianna 632642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a bold statement. :)</p> <p>I can't picture myself wearing nude hosiery at this stage of my life. Isn't it really difficult to find the right "nude" color? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632638 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:45:15 +0000 morethanbeige 632638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nude hosiery triggers a memory (on me!) of wearing tan hosiery to give a little color. Yikes! Terrible look, I shudder! Oh, but you are talking about NUDE hosiery. I agree with Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-bold-statement-of-the-day#post-632634 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:39:35 +0000 goldenpig 632634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate wearing hose. I am such a klutz that I always end up with runs. So I almost never wear hose with dresses/skirts--if I do it's patterned hose in the winter to add texture to my outfit (holes and all).</p> <p>I think it's more the outfit than the hose that determines frumpiness. And Kate is certainly bringing nude hose back to the forefront! </p>
