Fashion question: Nude pantyhose
This comes up more on ML, but after our OOTD adventures together, I feel I relate more to you guys.
Are nude (and I mean nude, not suntan, not even very visible) pantyhose really a huge faux pas? I rarely wear them, I prefer tights, but wtf are you supposed to wear with, say, a skirt suit? Tights, especially opaque ones, feel too casual.

Re: Fashion question: Nude pantyhose
I would never wear a skirt suit without them. Sometimes in the warmer months I'll go bare-legged in a more casual skirt. But generally if there's a chance I'll be meeting with the higher-ups, I want to have them on.

i am pro nude pantyhose in a skirt suit for damn sure.
i'm with you, it was a big surprise to me when i came on the knot/nest scene and discovered the amount of scorn pantyhose got. bare legs seems very very overly casual in certain circumstances to me. and with my (how can i put this delicately) huskier legs, it honestly seems kind of gross. TMI?
I hate going bare-legged. I wear nude hose with dresses all the time. I'm not really a fan of the black hose look that's fashionable right now, so I'd be sporting nude when others would be wearing black.
Also, my H has a total pantyhose fetish.

My legs are nice shape-wise, but they're so pasty pale and usually either bruised or mottled or chicken skinned so I feel like pantyhose helps to even them out, especially in the winter.

Okay, so then what would you wear with a cocktail dress in the middle of winter? I know pantyhose aren't like pants, but I can't see going completely bare-legged in January.

I'm okay with them if I can't tell you have them on from standing a normal distance away.
My friend (well ex friend actually) likes to wear nude hose with SANDALS. And not the kind that have no toe seam - hers have the stupid toe seam. In sandals. And they are generally two shades too dark. (This is not why we're not friends anymore though.)
I don't like black hose that are not totally opaque. That screams 80's to me. Yuck.
I have a coworker who wears hose (with the toe seam) with sandals, it's just awful.
I would go bare-legged. But January in Atlanta is very different than January in Boston. When I lived in NY, pantyhose were still acceptable.
Side note: Pantyhose were a requirement at my first job out of college. The dress code was insane. It was 11 pages long (just the womens dress code - the men had a whole separate document), and bare legs and socks were both expressly forbidden.

I would say going bare legged when, ahem, you don't have the legs to pull it off is a FAR worse fashion offense than wearing a sheer nude (in the right color) pantyhose.
And yes, in some social and work situations it just simply isn't appropriate to not wear something on your legs.
::leaves in a huff::
I wear nude pantyhose with any work suit.
I do think I'm going to look for the seamed variety though; that'd add a little spice.

Nordstrom Rack is where I found some. Hue makes them sometimes also.
