Can I wear stockings or pantyhose with strappy heels?
Can I wear stockings or pantyhose with strappy heels? My daughter is getting married in December. I am 45 and would like to wear stockings. Is it fashionable to wear them with strappy heels?
Never wear nude color pantyhose or stockings with strappy sandals. They do not look chic and you will look like an old lady wearing neutral color hose with open toe shoes. Exceptions would be colored sheers, such as sheer black hose / stockings or tights. Both work with strappy sandals or open toe shoes. Closed toe pumps and slingback style shoes look dressy with stockings or pantyhose. If the wedding is in a hot climate and you have good-looking tan legs you can wear strappy sandals with bare legs.

Can I go without stockings to my son’s wedding?
A son’s wedding is a wonderful event and you want to dress up and look awesome for this big day. If the wedding is in a place where the weather is hot and humid and your legs look decent there is no need to wear stockings. On the other hand if the wedding is in the winter or where the weather is cold wear stockings. Stockings give your legs a polished look. You can find ultra, ultra, sheer stockings that are practically invisible online or at stocking boutiques like Fogal of Switzerland or Wolford. A sales associate in a leg covering department can help you find the sheerest stockings they carry. If you don’t think your legs look great an option might be to wear a long dress. FYI- the fashion divas don’t wear stockings with open toe shoes.
Should the wedding party & wedding guests wear stockings?
If the wedding party and guests are wearing long dresses they can go without stockings and wear sandals or they can wear closed toe style shoes with knee highs or stockings. With shorter dresses stockings can be worn with closed toe pump or slingback style shoes and ultra sheer, neutral color stockings. Wearing stockings gives you a more polished look. The very ultra sheer neutrals are hardly detectable but give your legs a smooth look. Neutral color toeless stockings or panty hose can be worn with open toe shoes and look good. Common sense is advisable when deciding to wear stockings or go bare-legged. Don’t draw attention to your legs unless they are beautiful.
