Grey Dress, Coloured Shoes - What Colour Tights?

Options
Hi,

This has got nothing to do with money saving, but I do tend to trust advice I read here!

Tomorrow I'm going to a dinner/dance which is semi formal (men will wear shirt and jacket but no tie).

I've got a medium grey sheer dress which is lined and comes to the knee. My shoes will be either purple or green heels - haven't got any grey shoes.

What colour tights should I wear? Nude? Barely Black? Nearly Black? I can't wear no tights as my legs are too pasty!

Thanks for reading

    Hi there, any chance you could post a pic of the dress? I would be inclined to go for nude fishnets-I find the are a happy medium between not wearing tights and wearing sheer. I think nude dont look too tarty either. ( I think black fishnets look nice but I feel self concious in them)

    Nude and the purple heels or green heels should be fine.

    Semi formal used to mean Black Tie once upon a time. White Tie was Formal. Terms really change over the years.

    Nude, definitely.

  • Nude, definitely.

    Absolutely.
  • Yup, nude, or if you're feeling adventurous then SHEER purple or green to match your shoes, if you can find them.
