White Hosiery Query

| Permalink

Q. We're attending a family wedding in the south in June. My mother has chosen a purple dress. She mentioned she plans to wear white nylons and white pumps (she's in her 70's but very active still). I keep thinking there's something better than white for her. She refuses to go without hose. Any advice?
-White Not?
 

A. I've always believed that unless you're under 10 years old, a ballerina or a quirky rock star, an adult should avoid white stockings. Suggest flesh toned hosiery for your mom and try to match the color perfectly so it looks like she has bare legs. Look for another color of pumps she can wear like a neutral cream or light tan, which can be very sophisticated.
