Winter Wedding - tights/hose or no?

I'm going to a wedding in Kansas City this weekend.  I'm wearing either a navy blue dress or a black dress.  Do I wear hose/tights?  If I wear the navy dress, are black hose ok, or do I need to go nude?

Also, I have some nude pumps that I was considering wearing.  Is that acceptable for a winter wedding?

Re: Winter Wedding - tights/hose or no?

  • I'm anti-hose, for the most part.  But Kansas in January?  Heck yeah!  I would do nude hose with whatever color dress.   Nude pumps sound fine to me.
  • I want to say yes. I think the hose color depends on the shoes. If you do nude pumps, I would do nude hose.

    Or, you could do something a little off the wall. Lately I've been seeing combos like these (bright tights with black shoes--I like the open toe):

  • KC in January?  For sure I would have tights on.  Nude/nude would work for me.
  • Yes, you will want to wear hose.  I'd probably wear nude, and if so, nude heels are fine... Do not wear black hose with a navy dress in KC, they'll look at you like you got dressed in the dark.

    I was just wondering about this. When I visit the ILs in the Dakotas I tend to wear my less fashion forward stuff.

    I'd probably do nude hose/nude heels. Although for the record I love navy/black combos and would have picked that for a DC wedding. I think this (mixing navy and black) was one of the things mentioned in How to Dress Like a Parisian.

    Yeah, my ILs live in KC and moved there from Orange County- my MIL still gets a lot of questioning looks when she goes out.  I also wear less trendy clothes when I'm there, still try to look nice, but more classic than fashion forward.
