Q&A

Q: Is it ever okay to wear nylons/tights with peep toe heels? I just bought some gray suede peep toe heels that I love and wonder if I'll have to show my white legs all winter.

A: Yes, Hosiery is HOT this season! There are a couple of key things to keep this look chic and stylish:
1. Dark colored hosiery such as black, brown, purple, grey, etc. are easiest to work with.
2. Toe seam must be at the tip of your toe or hiding under your foot. NO reinforced toes!
3. If you are a novice to this trend you might want to start with like colors, i.e. black tights (could be a patterned one) with black or grey shoes – stay away from pastel shoes. Make the trend fun with texture, shape, and height.

4. Style of shoe: chunky high heeled versions as well as sling backs, mary jane platforms & sandals with thick straps (all open toed).
5. This trend can be worn with skirts, pants, dresses. If you opt the pant route, knee highs are a great option. Think of this trend the same way you would leggings.


p.s. your shoes are perfect for this trend; enjoy not worrying about shaving and the “white” legs.

Examples:
1: kate spade dress $395
3: Printed patent leather T-straps, Emilio Pucci, $775. Crocodile and velvet sandals, Bottega Veneta, $1,050. Wide-strap patent leather platforms, Sergio Rossi, $780. Chunky lizard high-heels, Halston, $1,795. All hose, DKNY, $18 to $31.
5: kate spade tights $28
