Are open toe sandals acceptable with stockings?

Hi Jennifer,

I have always heard that hosiery with open-toe shoes was a fashion faux-pas; BUT I have seen some girls pull it off, and the fashion police are much less vocal, now. I would say if you have the toes for it (I don"t), go for it.

Hugs,

I Love my nylons, and have special stockings to specifically gor OTS,Shoes. I tend to not wear soild toes and heels in the stockings with OTS. I do have a ptetty close toed Mule , that I get a chill from fully fashioned heel in view!!
I love my nylons...sometimes I start putting an outfit together with choosing the stockings, garter belt, OBG, ETC...

I hope so. I do it all time. If it is not the thing to do. I don't care. I am going to continue to do it. Because I can.

I do not have any stockings but have an enormous collection of pantyhose in large selection of styles and colors that I often wear with me open toe heels all of which are 6" and higher.

It goes beyond the pairing of the choice of hosiery and type of shoes worn. I believe it is more about how the hosiery and shoes accent or compliment the overall outfit that is important. For example, an exquisite evening dress paired with the right style and color of hosiery and heels in addition to makeup and accessories completes the "total package" which more important than looking at 1 or 2 parts individually.

If men can wear socks with sandals ( did I say that out loud???? )....

then my darling, you wear exactly what you want !!!

I have to go with Bettylou I don’t have the toes for OTS. So I don’t have an iron in the fire about this. But I prefer the look of hose with dress shoes (maybe I just love wearing hose).

Oh my, this is a loaded subject, highly opinionated and highly personalized.

I think geography plays into it too, meaning what country do you live in and again, what region of that country do you live in?  When I was stationed in Hawaii in the 1980s, flip-flops (they called them slippers) was the state-wide shoe, worn by one and all.  Rather difficult to wear pantyhose with flip-flops, but I actually did see a few people try on rare occasions.   No silly, we could not wear them with our Navy uniform.

Here in Atlanta, Georgia, after April 1st, it is virtually unheard of to see any female wearing pantyhose, except possibly for an octogenarian lady on her way to church.  So, hose with sandals?  No, it does not happen.  Night spots and classy places?  You will see girls wearing strappy high-heel sandals with bare toes and nail polish, sometimes to include toe rings and anklets.

A rare exception, female attorneys and executives will wear heels and pantyhose year round, with executive business attire.   Pumps only, of course.

All the above being said, I have been known to wear very sheer pantyhose during the cooler months, with open toe high-heels.  It kind of "winterizes" the high-heel sandals, and it is classy looking.

I recall one girl from support group, who, for whatever reason, would wear pantyhose with flat sandals, well into the warm months.  It kind of dated her, made her look a bit older for her years, but that was the style she was comfortable with.  Bless her heart!

I will have to post a picture.  It could be the next big thing on CDH, leave the leg hair to grow in first though

love

Jen

wait a min men wear sandals and socks color me shock hehe as for wearing hose and sandals go for it seen many woman wearing hose and sandals looks great.

I voted Yes to this as I really can’t see anything wrong with doing so!  However I’ve just discovered toeless tights (pantyhose) which is a great compromise.
My toes aren’t great but as I’m 6’ tall they are so far away so I can’t see them anyway  😂

Personally Jennifer, I think stockings, tights, pantyhose with open toed sandals are the one thing I wouldn’t wear. I think it the one ‘fashion’ mistake that points out a crossdresser or transgender woman! Most of the sisters I’ve seen have fab legs and if one shaves then...

To be worn only with closed toe footwear... my wife agrees absolutely!

Love Polly

I do do it, with sheer stockings, so you can see my pretty painted toes through them,it does depend on my outfit, though
Hugs,Regi👩💕

I think I must have misunderstood the question?

I've been wearing pantyhose with platform wedges since I was 17. I often went out wearing that. I loved the look.
