New Year Party Footware

Need help in deciding what hose, if any, to wear. I'm wearing a black velvet knee length dress, with lots of flashy jewelry. The sandals I'm wearing are mid heel, black satin with rhinestone straps across the vamp. Should I wear nude hose, black hose, or something else.

sheer black hose would be my choice with pumps. Sandals call for no hose, IMHO.

Don't they make stockings for open-toed shoes? I also vote for sheer black hose meant for sandals. Unless you live where it's always warm, bare legs aren't right for this time of year. You could also consider a sheer metallic to match your jewelry. That might look especially festive.

Very sheer black hose with a sheer toe. Haines makes them

I'd go to Nordstrom or NM website look at their hosiery. There offer lots of variety & interesting ideas.

Is this party at a house? Last New Year's Eve party I went to was in bad snow and hostess required everyone to take off their shoes or boots. Those of us that knew her well knew this was her rule. Bring fancy slippers.

I vote no hose for sandals.

Then have great lower legs, feet with self tanner. Green & blue veins along with alabaster white legs & feet are not attractive

I have to agree with birkin - no hose with sandals. Def use a self tanner if going with no hose. It's interesting that many people require guests to remove shoes/boots and I understand why they do that, but would hope it would be noted on the invitation. Reminds me of the episode of SATC when Carrie's Manolos were "taken" from a party! Have a wonderful time and I'm sure you'll look great!

IMO, if this poster is over a certain age, I forego bare legs. Just saying...............I don't think Joan Rivers would rock bare legs.
