I don't care for that "skin showing" look with ankle boots.  Of course now, it's too cold for it anyway.  I wear trouser socks with my ankle boots but when it gets really cold, I wear tights.  I assume "stalkings" means pantihose.  I haven't worn them in many years but if I did, it wouldn't be with ankle boots.


@chrystaltree, Hanes Hosiery had a mid weight semi sheer panty hose that isn't as heavy as tights.  Looks very appropriate.

Re: STOCKINGS, TIGHTS OR SOCKS?

I wear them all.  Just depends on what I'm wearing.  In the winter months I like either sheer hoisery or tights with dresses/skirts.  Under slacks (depends on how cold it is or not) I might do hoisery under pants.  I can do knee highs too.  I have them all.

Re: STOCKINGS, TIGHTS OR SOCKS?

I wear trouser socks, heavier knee high socks or ones that can me mid-calf with my ankle boots. The socks don't usually show st all, occasionally a peek at them. I wear my slacks/jeans on the outside of the boot. 

 

I ordered the HSN Bearpaws bootie today & I might wear slim-cut leg jeans tucked into the boot. I may add a heavier patterned sock worn over the jeans so the top of the socks show over the boots. But, knowing me, I probably won't. lol So me of the models look good with it worn that way.

If I lived up north (live in a warm climete) and needed extra warmth or was wearing the boots with a skirt, I would definitely wear tights. Maybe with heavy tweedy fashion socks over the tights.
