Q. I just bought a beautiful cream cocktail evening dress. It has hints of gold through the dress (glitter) and some gold trim around the bust area as an accent. I have cream shoes with a hint of gold (sandal with heel) and purchased a gold evening bag. Not much gold in the dress just hints through the outer lining. My question is what color hosiery should I wear? My legs are tanned but not very smooth looking so I think I should wear hosiery. So, what color do you suggest? I will be wearing this around the end of September in Las Vegas for a night out on the town. Help. –Leg Coverage
A. While I wish I could convince you to go bare legged for the occasion, I understand you feeling more confident in hosiery. I am not a fan of flesh-toned hosiery since so many women choose the wrong color to match their skin color. I suggest a very sheer hose with a hint of gold shimmer, since Vegas is all about the glitz, or a very pale crystal, cream or sheer nude so your skin tone will show through.
