Wear Hose With Cocktail Dress

Black stockings are the best option for a black cocktail dress.

Wear hose with cocktail dress. Look for white stockings to compliment white shoes or pastel shoes but take care to choose the sheerest type to avoid appearing to wear tights which are not appropriate with a cocktail dress. Use sheer for summer occasions and more opaque options during the colder seasons. Tights are worn during the winter with sweaters dresses skirts and boots.

Personally i m not opposed to a nice quality pair of nude hose in the right shade. The dressier the occasion the more necessary it is to wear pantyhose. Coats jackets wraps that you will remove when you get to your event give you a little more leeway but you still want to look appropriate for the formality of the event.

But to answer your question it is ok to wear sheer black pantyhose with an above the knee black cocktail dress. All are acceptable these days. As you can see there are a lot of choices.

If the cocktail dress isn t black a nude stocking may be the best bet. Although sheer black hose can be great with a bold color such as red. And dark colored pantyhose does wonders in making your legs look slimmer.

I wear panty hose all the time. I have never seen anyone wear tights with a cocktail dress. In dc we wear suits dresses with panty hose.

Toppers to wear with a cocktail dress are a whole different topic because they really have to go with the dress you re wearing.
