Is black hosiery current if one chooses not to go bare legged with a LBD?
Black or sheer black hosiery are the most current, chic and trendy stocking colors to wear with a LBD (Little Black Dress) to a semi-formal event. A very understated black hose with tiny dots will also work with a simple style black dress. Avoid any black stockings that are flashy (prints and heavy lace or fishnet styles) if you want to look elegant and be in-style. Not all fashion divas (those under 30) agree about wearing sheer neutral color pantyhose / stockings anywhere.
