I remember one of my mum's friends who told us when she was young she used to go to ballroom dance parties. All ladies had to wear sheer tights, so to get around it as they were quite expensive she used to draw a line at the back of her legs with an eyeliner so it loked like she wore sheer tights with back seam. Barelegged look was not allowed. It stuck with me, both the convention and her solution for it.<br /><br />anne :: I think in this case nudes made the look because they showed the legs more, thus creating visual interest,&nbsp;than more commonly seen&nbsp;option in recent years of dark hose. That's at least how I had interpreted the&nbsp;comment&nbsp;above.<br /><br />Mander :: I am&nbsp;completely&nbsp;with you. For me as well barelegged look in business context was unacceptable (as far my dressing was concerned). I&nbsp;remember&nbsp;reading once an interview with a lady who was&nbsp;PA in one corporation and she mentioned specifically that even in the summer she wore &nbsp;nude hose because it was unacceptable in her environment not to. maybe it is European thing, I really don't know, but I never really noticed them being "out". https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-893777 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 20:07:51 +0000 Mander 893777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I never understood them being "out" either -- if they are truly nude for you, and not a funky "suntan" color, then they should be more or less unnoticeable! <br /><br />Maybe I'm old-fashioned for my age but I don't really feel comfortable in bare legs in a business context.&nbsp; It just seems a bit under-dressed, although I would probably never notice if someone else was bare-legged.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-893310 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 08:05:15 +0000 anne 893310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I never got the feeling they were "out" in Australia, and I still wear them. Sometimes my feet can't cope with wearing shoes on bare feet, and at work they are great with A/C. I'd be happy to wear nude patterned hose (other than fishnets) but don't see in around much here and ran a hole in the last pair I did have.<br /><br />I have to confess I don't really get "nude hose make the outfit". I don't want my nude hose to be conspicuous!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-892239 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 05:45:46 +0000 Adelfa 892239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I remember when Princess Diana failed to wear hose to an event in Washington, DC. &nbsp;It was considered scandalous, unthinkable. Her press agent had to release a statement about it. Enterprising reporters told us that in Europe women didn't always wear hose when dressing up. I always thought of that as the beginning of the no hose look here. How funny that her son's wife is pioneering wearing hose. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891880 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 23:21:30 +0000 Ornella 891880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beth Ann :: ROFL<br /><br />I was considering changing my on-screen name to Mrs O, but then thought it might be pretentious. A&nbsp;little&nbsp;bit, for now at least. You've been warned. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891873 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 23:15:47 +0000 Irene 891873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I honestly never understood why it was 'out' in the first place lol <br /><br />(And I've worn them even as a teenager, not so long ago, since I'm still in my twenties...)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891853 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:53:37 +0000 fashionista926 891853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Im only a fan of the nude hose on certain occasions....but I adore a sheer hose anytime. I always have a good pair of navy and blue sheer hose. But hey, if you love the nude hose and it makes you comfortable rock it out! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891849 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:39:22 +0000 Jamie 891849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Definitely in for me! &nbsp;I agree with what Inge said, so finding them in just the right shade is crucial for me and also difficult. &nbsp;Looking forward to tomorrow's post!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891826 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:12:00 +0000 missvee 891826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ In - courtesy of Kate Middleton. She's the first woman under 40 to wear nude hose in about 2 decades! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891756 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:09:30 +0000 Beth Ann 891756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Buahaha!&nbsp; I kept thinking, "Who is Mr. O?&nbsp; President Obama, a fashion stylist I've never heard of?&nbsp; Who could he b...........Ah!"<br /><br />I'll be watching for Angie's post too!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891706 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:28:50 +0000 ElleH 891706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I look forward to Angie's post as I am usually late to any trend lol. I'm with Mary K here in SoCal. I rarely wear hose, other than socks, and when I do it is obvious by colour or texture or opacity, not one that attempts to look like my skin.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891657 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:41:33 +0000 Ornella 891657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oooh, I can't wait Angie! I'll be on the road around the time blog posts are normally published and you can be sure that I will log in asap at my destination. Goodness me, to even think that&nbsp;by one strike of your pen, or click of your keyboard, I may be <i>trendy</i>&nbsp;is beyond me.<br /><br />Or even ahead of the game, if Mr. O is to be listened to. This way someone is always ahead of the game ;-)<br /><br />p.s.<br />There is of course always the other&nbsp;possibility&nbsp;too, but I'll deal with it if and when https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891651 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:36:48 +0000 Anonymous 891651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've always worn the "bare" or "nude" color. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891627 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:13:44 +0000 Angie 891627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tomorrow's blog post topic :)<br /><br />Mary, we need to change your thinking on this! Set the stylish standard!!!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891542 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:47:36 +0000 rachylou 891542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Is nude hose different from suntan hose?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891448 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:34:48 +0000 MsMary 891448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love them, but here in So Cal they definitely read "old lady," and I am close enough in age to being an <i>actual </i>old lady that I forego them.&nbsp; I substitute nude fishnets when I feel like I just can't do bare legs.&nbsp; But I need sheer nude hose to be much more mainstream before I will feel comfortable wearing them regularly. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891416 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:15:25 +0000 Tina.b 891416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Match your skin tone as close as possible and you are good to go. I'm loving my nude micro fishnets right now! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891412 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:13:36 +0000 Thistle 891412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I thought I had read Angie post that they are in. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891410 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:11:50 +0000 cade 891410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree that nude hose are never really out. Some times a bare leg is simply inappropriate, and when a woman has to go to work&nbsp;lookin put together a nice sheer hose is part of the outfit. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891304 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:48:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 891304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Definitely back in as long as they don't look obvious - as others have said, matching your skin tone is key IMO. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891299 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:45:41 +0000 Suz 891299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with Inge. The trick is finding some close to your skin tone. Not always easy. But I wear them and wore them in England last week one day (the warmest day). I actually had a pair that were slightly textured, but not fishnet (with the holes) and they were quite a lot of fun!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891283 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:24:56 +0000 Anonymous 891283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I hope they are in as I would love to start wearing them once I'm out of thick winter tights. I think they make your legs look beautiful and smooth. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891281 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:23:19 +0000 Inge 891281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I say "in"! As long as you can match them very close to your own skin tone, I think it's a very refined look. (I think Angie is wearing them in <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/03/26/happy-skirt-on-the-go/">this week's outfit post</a>, and she also wore them to the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/05/01/items-old-new-and-blue-for-a-tokyo-wedding/">wedding in Japan</a> last year - two super looks, if you ask me;-)<br /><br />Go for it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891280 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:22:54 +0000 Diana 891280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, I've always worn them.&nbsp; The thing is that a lot of outfits look best with bare legs (no colors or textures), and when it's this cold out, hose and tights are essential.&nbsp; <br /><br />In that outfit, I was actually wearing nude opaque tights (I think they are actually dance tights) because it was too cold for sheer hose.&nbsp; They are surprisingly useful.<br />(I think they are these, or similar)<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GTPVI6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER</a><br /><br />ETA: My #1 choice is always bare legs.&nbsp; So much more comfy.&nbsp; But nude hose/tights are a good cold weather alternative!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891273 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:19:36 +0000 ruthe 891273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ We had nylon stockings when I was a little girl, but tights weren't born until sometime in the 1950's. I like how they make me feel polished and neat. They've come a long way since the 50's. In/out, whatever, this old woman likes them :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891246 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 12:33:33 +0000 Debora 891246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm wearing them this weekend at my MIL's. It's still too chilly to go bare legged and I have a feeling she wouldn't be crazy about my nude fishnets. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891230 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 12:14:06 +0000 lyn67 891230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't really like wearing nude hose, but agree there are&nbsp;some moments when you cannot do without. Then, I'm super fussy about my nude hose, like&nbsp; to be invisible, so&nbsp;use quite a low&nbsp;denier(10-15DEN) which is very delicate:-( so of a &nbsp;short live. Sometimes I like better &nbsp;a pair of very very&nbsp;subtle grey instead. Depends on the outfit. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891223 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 12:08:08 +0000 Anonymous 891223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I need to get some -- I think it looks fine, and I agree, it's the only way to keep warm yet look bare-legged.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891222 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 12:02:38 +0000 Scarlet 891222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I wear them gleefully. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-hose---in-or-out#post-891205 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:41:03 +0000 Raisin 891205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jangle commented to me a few weeks ago to wear some too. &nbsp;She said they're in! &nbsp;You're in luck!
