When I was asked to write something about nude tights, I spent a week walking the streets looking at women. And here are my observations. I must say that the horror of corporal tights is greatly exaggerated. In most cases when I saw a woman dressed horribly, flesh tights were the lesser evil in her appearance. Look, for example, at these photos. If we replace tights or take them off altogether, the overall impression of this will not greatly decrease. Therefore, if you are in doubt whether to wear pantyhose or not, start with a critical assessment of your image as a whole.
There are cases where tights look quite appropriate. Especially if you live an ordinary life and do not pretend to be a style guru and a connoisseur of trends;) Here is a quite common example: a closed knitted warm dress, boots. Bare feet would look weird here. Tight tights and a different tone, most likely, too.

Often the presence of tights is due to the dress code. In this case, you need to choose tights that are as close as possible to your natural skin color.
True, one must understand that in reality a real strict dress code is not so common. The scariest thing I've ever seen is the business districts of Singapore when the girls from the offices went out for lunch. Tights, albeit thin, in hellish heat. Yes, often (we are talking about small employees) low-quality tights combined with cheap business clothes or a bank-hotel uniform is a pitiful sight.
Therefore, soberly assess the requirements of your superiors. Perhaps body tights are not such a mandatory thing. I also want to say that body tights are an indispensable thing for an “age” wardrobe and for women with a certain status, suggesting conservatism. Women over 50. School teachers, for example. And, accordingly, bodily tights are associated with these categories of citizens, and bring these notes to your image. So, when putting on body tights, think about whether you need such moods.
Most of the time, creepy skinny pantyhose looks are just mismatched pantyhose. Don't try to fake a tan. And in the same way, you don’t have to play with semitones. Just choose the shade closest to your skin. And no glitter. By the way, high density often plays a minus. Therefore, tights should be thin and matte. Not like the examples below. The mulatto Hanga looks especially funny in beige tights.
Here are good options: you can’t immediately tell if there are tights or not.
Worse than ordinary body tights can only be body tights with a pattern. At a distance of two steps it seems that your legs are bruised, your veins protrude, or in general, that this is some kind of terrible skin disease.
What else is important to remember about tights: a protruding elastic band is a nightmare and a terrible anti-sex.
Tights - only with shoes with a closed toe. No open shoes, no cutout shoes. It's terrible, in my opinion. Of course, cutout tights were invented for open shoes. But it seems to me that in real life the contrast between the tights and bare fingers will be very noticeable. So I wouldn't wear it.
Another very controversial issue: bodily socks. It seems to me that if socks are visible, then it is better not to wear them. With shoes, nude socks only look good in sock ads.
Of course, there are stylizations when nude socks or stockings look cool. But here you need to soberly assess your stylistic possibilities and the quality of the wardrobe as a whole - whether you can “pull out” tights or will you look strange.
Socks under trousers are also ugly. Especially with heels.
But a fragment of a bare leg is the most interesting combination of cropped trousers and shoes, especially if the shoes are in a masculine style. Such dandyism.
Attention is riveted to this fragment. And bodily socks will be very noticeable, especially if they gather at least in a small, but crease in the bend of the leg. If you are cold, with oxfords and similar shoes, it is better to experiment with bright and funny socks, which can become a cool accent of the image. This number does not work with ballet flats, so ballet flats in combination with trousers are only bare legs.
In general, it seems to me that body tights are appropriate when it is important for you to look more conservative, elegant, and strict. If you are far from conservatism and elegance, but you still feel uncomfortable without tights, and colored or thick ones are not suitable, try experimenting with tights that imitate drawings on your leg.
There are a large number of types of tights: for children, teenagers, women and pregnant women, mesh, nylon, demi-season, warm with fleece or terry, but one basic rule applies to everyone - it is bad form to wear torn or darned tights. It is also very important to correctly combine tights with clothes and shoes so as not to look ridiculous:
- you can not wear white tights under dark clothes, and tight black tights under light light clothes;
- pantyhose with overflow quite plump legs;
- if there is a print with imitation stockings, it should not be visible;
- dark and multi-colored products do not fit light shoes;
- it’s better not to combine sandals and tights, but modern fashion even allows this - dense bright tights with sandals look quite stylish under the appropriate outfit, and if you work in the office and you need to wear this wardrobe item even in summer, choose the lightest ones so that they are invisible;
- fishnet or patterned tights are not suitable for everyday wear or a business suit, but for a party this is an excellent choice;
- under boots, choose tight tights, with shoes wear products of medium density.

Attitude to such a simple element of the wardrobe as tights has never been simple!
On the one hand, tights are a very utilitarian thing: with the onset of cold weather, you want to isolate yourself from the piercing wind, even with the thinnest layer of nylon, and on the other hand, fashion gurus have repeatedly said that any tights are a compromise with your sense of style, and it’s better to freeze, than to wear them.
But, as you know, fashion is a fickle thing, and today fashion experts say one thing, and tomorrow they flaunt what they condemned! Therefore, it is up to you to wear or not to wear, and if your decision is still in favor of tights, the main thing is not to forget about a few simple rules.
HOW TO WEAR BLACK TIGHTS
Black is a universal color, but in the case of tights, it requires caution.
Traditionally, light-colored clothes and light-colored shoes in combination with black tights are considered mauvais ton, so the classic dress code does not recommend such sets. The best combination would be black + dark saturated shades, and it’s good if your accessories and shoes match the tights.
Do not forget that the more den in tights, the tighter and heavier the clothes should be - opaque winter tights will look very strange with summer chiffon dresses.
As for translucent black tights, they are traditionally associated with office style, although this is not a strict requirement. The main thing is not to wear such tights with revealing things and high-heeled shoes, otherwise the impression will be very negative.
Black tights or stockings with glitter are not just the last century, but also the risk of looking fuller and “heavier” than it really is.
HOW TO WEAR NUDE SHEAR TIGHTS
The most familiar, the most basic of all, which can only be, these tights are in the wardrobe of every woman, and it seems that these tights have nothing to show - in a cold climate they somehow save lovers of skirts and dresses, and besides In addition, everyone knows that the business dress code strictly forbids bare legs, whether it is cold or hot outside.
But no, and here there are a couple of claims! What fashion editors and bloggers didn’t write: flesh-colored tights treacherously shine in the photo, make legs look like “sausages in cellophane” and much, much more, but the main offense is that flesh-colored tights should create “the effect of bare legs ”, but they can’t cope with this task, and if you have tights on, only a blind person will not notice this.
In short, if you can't or don't want to give up nude tights, try to go for as thin and as matte as possible.
HOW TO WEAR COLORED TIGHTS
In favor are tight opaque tights, exactly the same as Christian Dior once offered in one of his country collections. Any flirtations with translucency and bright color will create a peculiar effect that is best avoided at all costs.
Keep in mind that such tights must be very confidently and reliably combined with the shades of your outfit, otherwise there is a high risk of another unpleasant effect called “neither to the village nor to the city”.
HOW TO WEAR SEAMED TIGHTS
Exclusively in vamp style - sheath dresses, pencil skirts, there are no other ways and cannot be. Don't overdo it with heel height and be sure to keep an eye on the quality and location of the seam!
HOW TO WEAR MESH TIGHTS
Black fishnet tights have long been associated with cabaret, so there is still an element of provocativeness that not every woman can handle. To offset this effect for a black mesh, choose the most modest looks with skirts to the knees and below.
But light-colored fishnet tights are known for their ability to create the appearance of perfect bare skin from a distance - this property is used by professional dancers, ranging from classical ballroom dancing to rock and roll. The thinner and more graphic the legs, the smaller and lighter the mesh should be.
Always choose the right size mesh tights if you don't want others to think about the culinary mesh and sausages!
HOW TO WEAR TIGHTS WITH A PATTERN OR PRINT
The most risky and provocative tights ever! And the point here is not even in the stereotype that is fixed in the backyard of consciousness that a lady in fishnet tights is certainly looking for adventure, but in the fact that any pattern and any print can change the shape and appearance of your legs beyond recognition. One wrong move, one wrong choice, and at the end you can get crooked and thick legs instead of your perfect legs, just because a nice pattern of transverse zigzags treated them like that.
Verdict: if you are not sure that your sense of style is enough to create a stunning image based on "fantasy" tights, just give them up once and for all, out of harm's way.
A lot of people wear tights just out of habit, without going into special considerations when buying tights and without thinking about how and with what to wear tights. For some, tights are something like underwear, something that is hidden under clothes, for someone - a fashion accessory or even a full-fledged wardrobe item. But for the vast majority, tights are just a necessary addition to a skirt.
If you think that wearing pantyhose is wrong - it means wearing something that does not fit, then you are only partly right. So, let's look at all the typical options for how not to wear tights.
Tights with trousers: how not to wear
Pants are different. Firstly, different style, cut, composition and, of course, purpose.
The most common mistake is to wear tights under strict "office" trousers, even if they are lined. Almost any tights will prevent the fabric of the trousers from slipping freely, as a result, the trousers will wrinkle, stick (even if you use antistatic agents). In addition, the buttocks in pantyhose under trousers often look flat. True, there are special tights for wearing under trousers.
These tights are designed to keep the rounded shape of the buttocks even under stretchy, tight-fitting trousers, which are usually pulled down so that the relief disappears.
But these trousers are not worn by everyone and not always. What pants are worn most often? Jeans or classic black trousers. The fashion of the previous recent years, regardless of the seasons, prescribed to wear trousers with a low waist. A few fashion seasons ago, an alternative began to appear - high-waisted trousers. But for some reason, many have retained their love for low-rise trousers. And therefore, in winter, people around can often see such a picture: the girl begins to straighten her clothes, bends over or crouches, and pantyhose peep out from above, above her trousers. The question is, why wear trousers with a fit on the hips, if under them are pantyhose to the armpits? Then, since the stereotype prevails over you, choose tights with a low waist or an adjustable fit.
A similar "picture" with peeking tights can be the case with a skirt. This random "trend" has not gone unnoticed, and there are already skirts imitating tights sticking out above the belt:
Tights peeking over the belt of trousers or skirts are disgusting! Especially if the tights are “flesh-colored”, but black ones are also good. If you already wear pantyhose under trousers, then pick up those that will not be visible.
In addition, from wearing under trousers, tights quickly become sloppy - they can become covered with spools. This is especially true of inexpensive tights made of cotton, acrylic, viscose (bamboo) and multifiber.
Tights are appropriate under trousers when they act as thermal underwear. That is, under the ski pants. Wearing tights under jeans, especially tight ones, is almost always uncomfortable and ugly, although warmer.
Thin tights: how not to wear
Any thin transparent tights made of synthetics (polyamide, nylon, polyester) are not intended for warmth, but to create a visual cosmetic effect of even skin on the legs. Also, these tights can be with figure-correcting properties. Therefore, you should not wear thin transparent tights if it is cold outside. The sight of "bare" legs against the backdrop of snow can hardly be called attractive. Most likely, those around you will shudder at the sight of you. And thin tights in winter are a huge risk for women's health. Yes, and hypothermia of the skin itself threatens with unpleasant painful sensations, dryness, itching.
Therefore, choose tights according to the season and the weather. If you really need to be in thin tights during the day, because a dress code or something else obliges, put on warm leggings over it, and then take it off.
When choosing the tone of tights, be guided not only by your personal preferences, but also be guided by taste (if you have one). Wearing tights of the color of any tan, if you have pale and fair skin, is not necessary in any case.
Tight tights: how not to wear
There is a stereotype that any tight tights are warm tights. Therefore, many people in the winter begin to wear them to replace the classic transparent tights. The warming properties of tights depend not so much on the density as on the composition. The ability to retain heat is much higher in tights made from natural fibers. The warmest tights are wool tights.
Therefore, wearing synthetic opaque tights in the hope that they will save you from frost or wind is stupid.
Glitter tights: how not to wear
Glitter tights can be with the addition of lurex, or from special trihedral fibers that reflect light. Also, the shine may not be obvious.
Shiny lurex tights can look chic, especially in subdued artificial lighting and paired with an evening outfit. But the glitter of the tights in the photo is a nightmare! It is difficult to guess in advance how tights will behave under a camera flash. It is not true that the shine depends on the presence of Lycra. Lycra - matte. The gloss depends on the cross section of the fibers of the thread.
Legs in shiny tights can look thick and crooked.
So either avoid such tights, or wear tights with lurex, or choose only matte ones.
How not to wear fishnet tights
Fishnet tights seem attractive to many people: a feminine pattern, unusualness, and so on. Many people buy the first fishnet tights they like, and as a result they get the opposite of the expected effect. Poor-quality fishnet tights tend to warp on the leg. You can notice this as soon as you start putting them on: on the first leg, the tights will lie flat, and on the second they will warp, and if you still manage to achieve uniformity in the front, then the back and sides of the tights will look terrible. Approximately like this:
And the reason will not be in the excessive fullness or shape of your legs, but in the low quality of tights, made without taking into account the natural anatomical features.
Most of the “dirty things” that await you when buying low-quality tights can be easily avoided by simply not buying them. Another thing is that a good thing can be worn in such a way that it will look ugly. Approach the choice of tights thoughtfully, taking into account the peculiarities of your figure, and learn to combine tights with clothes.
