Sheer pantyhose or bare legs?

[AnneMA]

I could use some input ladies. Attending a friend's wedding as a guest soon and not sure if I should wear pantyhose or not. My preference would be to wear them since my legs are totally white. I have some nice sheer ones with no toe line. My shoes are slingbacks with peeptoes. Anyway, if it seems old fashioned or old lady-ish, I will put a little self tanner on and go without them. Just wondering what you guys think. Thanks in advance!

Peeptoe slingbacks... I'd say no pantyhose. They're kind of a faux pas right now! Which is a bummer for us translucent gals.

Bare legs with a little bronzer mixed with your moisturizer and you'll be fine. Never, ever wear panty hose with a shoe that exposes your toes, or with mules or basically anything that exposes your foot. It's kind of tacky even to do so. Have fun!

Bare legs. I am sorry if I offend anyone, but the pantyhose look is very dated.

No offense taken! Thanks so much for your feedback. No hose for me!

Another option, albeit a little more expensive, would be to try a spray tan. I am pretty pale as well, although I do tan up pretty well in the summer (not on purpose mind you). This past summer I bought a 2-pack spray tan deal. I've only used one of them so far, but I really liked the results. It only lasted about 5-6 days, so if you're at all concerned about how it would turn out, you could always do it a few days ahead of time. I really researched the salon and made sure others had liked the results. It came highly recommended from my hair stylist. If I remember correctly, I believe I paid $35-$40 for the 2-pack of spray tans.

So, again, maybe not the answer you were looking for ... but throwing another option out there!

I sure wish someone would invent a product that had the shaping qualities of pantyhose minus all the shame that comes with wearing them. I agree, they're definitely a faux pas nowadays.

I agree about the spray tan!
I've tried the tan stuff in a bottle and it looks fake. The spray tans are expensive, but look so natural! I use them for special occasions when I need to expose my legs.

Definately bare legs and use leg make up or bronzer. I like the Sally Hansen glow for a little sheen.

I would wear them myself. I don't like having bare legs.

definitely bare legs. Panty hose are considered very passé these days. For my son's wedding, his mother-in-law was going to wear panty hose and her daughter (son's now-wife) forbade her mother to do so!
