Are Strappy Sandals Appropriate For The Bride?
What To Wear With Brown Linen Wide Leg Pants
Q. I work for an extremely conservative financial institution and our dress code requires us to wear hose with skirts and dresses. This requires closed-toe shoes even though the dress code allows for peep-toe shoes. To make the dress code even more of a challenge, I live in South Texas where average temperature in the summer months is over 100 degrees. So, what to do? Nude hose? Patterned hose?
A. I feel for you - hosiery in the summer heat can be tough, though many conservative corporations require it. Your best bet is to choose ultra sheer or transparent hosiery that closely matches your skin tone. This will give you that bare leg look while still conforming to your office dress code. And if peep-toe shoes are allowed, go for it! Just make sure any visible seams are tucked underneath your toes. And when the temperature cools, opt for tights and patterned hosiery as well.
