What style shoes & stockings can I wear to a January wedding?

A January wedding sounds like a perfect way to begin the New Year. If you are wearing a skirt or dress you can wear sandals, open-toe shoes, or closed-toe pumps, or slingbacks. The style of shoe you choose should be comfortable for dancing or standing for long periods of time. If the weather is cold where the wedding is being held stockings will keep you warm. Ultra, ultra-sheer* nude color or colored stockings look fabulous with closed-toe style pumps and slingbacks. Strappy sandals and open-toe shoes can be worn with colored tights or colored stockings. If the weather is warm where the January wedding venue is you have the option of going bare-legged if your legs are good-looking and have good color. Any shoe style will work if you go without stockings. Stockings will give you a more polished look and are appropriate for weddings.

*Ultra, ultra-sheer nude color stockings are barely detectable.
