But whatever your hosiery preference, you've probably shied away from legwear due to the fact that bare legs have been "in," and you might have been told that you should never wear hosiery with open-toed shoes.
This advice might be great if we lived in a world free of varicose veins and bruises; in which we all loved our legs; and in which we never got cold. But that's not the world most of us live in. In fact, it's a world some of us have never even visited.
Granted, it doesn't create a polished, professional, sexy or even marginally attractive look to have bunched up panty hose sticking out the ends of your shoes, but just because some people wear gravy-stained t-shirts doesn't mean none of us should wear t-shirts -- it just means we need to wear them well.
Several women have written in to tell me about toeless or "open toed" hose, and panty hose with sandal toes or sheer toes are viable options as well. As far as tights go, look for styles that don't have reinforced toes.
