Hanes Silk Reflections Colors

DonnaF

I'm thinking that I will try knee-high hose with my shoes to keep warm rather than my usual socks or knee-high opaques. Hanes Silk Reflections is what I can buy with my 20% Amazon discount, but the colors confuse me. I want something that will be beige and invisible on me. *Soft Beige* in Nordstrom Rack stockings seems to be about my color; my legs are medium to tan colored with gold rather than pink undertones.

The Hanes Silk Reflections beiges I see are:
Barely There
Little Color
Natural

Can anyone give me insight into any/all of these colors and/or if I am making a big mistake on buying Hanes?

Just bumping this for you. Are there any stores near you that carry the brand? Alternatively, if you check the colors online and go with the two that you think are closest, they should work. I find there often isn't a huge difference between the lightest and second lightest shades.

Thanks for the suggestion! I can't believe that I'm agonizing over a couple of bucks since the only thing that will be showing is my ankles at most.

I have no experience with Hanes hosiery, Donna, but am bumping this for you too.
(And I like Dianthus suggestion.)

Back when I wore hose, I bought only Hanes; their quality and sheerness are superior. I'm fair-skinned, and know I wore both Little Color & BarelyThere, but can't remember which I preferred. Maybe try both?

For hose, Natural looks too tan now so I wear Nude in Hanes
I found better knee highs at Talbots of all places so I bought several 3- packs- can't remember color but there is a pale nude one.

Little Color is lighter than Barely There, but they are both light. I wear Berkshire knee highs in Linen, which is good for my fair skin. I get them from Essential Apparel, they're always on sale and I think there's a Berkshire sale going on now.
