What are the general rules regarding wearing pantyhose with open-toe shoes?
The general rule is neutral /nude color pantyhose are not “in style” with open-toe shoes like dressy sandals. Colored stockings such as sheer black hosiery or tights can be stylish with open-toed shoes or sandals. If you want to go bare-legged your legs should have a nice color.
