Hosiery with Open-Toed Shoes and Cocktail Dress

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

I have heard that with open-toed high heels, you shouldn't wear any nylons, just bare-legged? I have a short cocktail dress and open-toed high heels, but want to wear hose or tights. Is that okay?

Signed,

Wondering

Dear Wondering,

Short cocktail dresses and open-toed shoes look best with no nylons or very sheer skin-colored nylons (sheer-toes, too). However, you can also choose dark sheer nylons that match your dress and shoes. Tights are a little too thick for the attire.
