serendipity1499 Posted December 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Just read on-line that Meghan Markle broke the (British) rule of going bare legged in public by not wearing panty hose.. It was said that this is now a rule in the U.S. http://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/whats-hot/meghan-markle-broke-this-royal-rule-at-her-engagement-announcement/ar-BBFYR7k?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=iehp I'm considered elderly (by my kids-not me) & have always been told by the kids that I should go bare-legged if I wear sandals.. Therefore, I've been trying to do that, but find it uncomfortable..:cool: When I wear closed shoes I always wear some type of panty hose or knee highs if in slacks or long dresses.. Would I now be in style if I wore hose with sandals, or should I continue to go bare legged with sandals? BTW I always get Mani's & Pedi's with matching polish..

Only fashionable if you're over 70, live in Berkeley and don't shave your legs. [emoji102] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted December 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I don't like the look if hose wirh sandals. My legs aren't pretty, and my decision depends on how I look and the weather. In the winter, I wear hose or tights because it's too cold not to here. In weather that's warmer, but not warm enough for sandals, I may wear hose with a knee length dress to cover my ugly legs.

broker1217 Posted December 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 1, 2017 No hose with any type of open toe shoe--sandal, pump, peek-toe bootie. Go with longer skirts or light weight pants if you are uncomfortable without hose. I use a self-tanner or Sally Hansen AirBrush Legs. The Sally Hansen covers imperfections (sun damage, spider veins) fairly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serendipity1499 Posted December 1, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Thanks for your comments.. Has anyone every tried the toeless hose? https://www.macys.com/shop/product/hue-toeless-sheers-with-lace-panty?ID=2251649&pla_country=US&cm_mmc=MSN_Bing_Seasonal_PLA-_-All+Product+-+BS_All+Products-_-11617622401-_-pg105214_c_kclickid_7ade106a-8996-45ce-9ea8-da8d562f9530&trackingid=489x105214V They might be something which would look good on legs which are not tanned..Years ago I had a pair but did not like the fit of them..They might be better now..:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VennDiagram Posted December 1, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Now that you have an overwhelming response of "no hose with sandals", let me say I wear hose with some sandals. The nude-toed pantihose in the evening with dressy sandals with heels. I prefer how my legs look in hose, I prefer how the sandals feel on my feet, it is EVENING so the lights are dimmer, and seriously if someone can actually see that my pedicured toes are (slightly) obscured by my hose, they are FAR too close to my feet. Casual sandals during the day? Bare feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger_77 Posted December 2, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I'm also in the camp where we wear nude toe hose with our sandals. My legs aren't pretty, and I feel much more confident walking around wearing hose with an evening dress, than not. I have yet to have anyone come up to me and say "Seriously? You're wearing stockings with sandals?" If it's going to bother them that much, let it. As someone once said "what others think of me is none of my business." Miss Markle has lovely young legs - let her do as she pleases. Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduemom1 Posted December 2, 2017 #12 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I am on the side of wear what you like and feel the best in. If that’s hose then go for it. Nude hose are barely noticeable and for some of us, a much better choice than going bare legged just because it’s the current fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancun01 Posted December 4, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Please yourself. Sometimes I wear "Sandal foot" hose with open toe shoes depending on the weather, length of dress etc. and I am well under 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serendipity1499 Posted December 5, 2017 Author #16 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Thanks everyone for your comments..I ordered a pair of toeless hose for my cruise..Of course my dressy dresses or palazzo pants are long, so no one will see my ugly legs.. Today they are very ugly as ran out to put our car in the garage at 10:30 last night in old sandals which had lost traction.. Slipped on some wet pavement, fell flat on my rump & scrapped some skin off my right ankle/foot..It's now bandaged but we leave on our cruise in less than three weeks.. So hose it will be & might need to spend a few nights like last night on a heating pad.. Now I really need to get a DR's note for my heating pad which comes with me on our cruise.. :eek: My rump still hurts, & my cropped pants were full of mud, but I'm delighted that I did not break anything as had the right hip replaced a few years ago....Thank goodness no one was around to see me fall.. BTW I hadn't even had one drink..:loudcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvscruising2007 Posted December 5, 2017 #17 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Serendipity, I have had your same indecision about hose and for casual wear I can go barefooted. For dressier ocassions I have always worn sandal foot hose. I have considered the toeless and would really appreciated how you like them. Thanks.

Barb Nahoumi Posted December 6, 2017 #18 Share Posted December 6, 2017 One vote for NO hose of any kind with sandals.......😱 Make that two votes. I never wear hose with sandals or open toe shoes. I always wear hose with closed toe shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted December 7, 2017 #19 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I hate hose. I will, however, wear them to DH's company holiday party in January. On a cruise, never. It's hot and humid and I don't need another layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broker1217 Posted December 7, 2017 #20 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I guess I am a little puzzled. I completely understand wanting/needing to wear hose. I am 60 and fair skinned. But what I don't understand is wearing sandals with hose. Why not wear a closed toe shoe? Hose with open toe shoes seems sort of like wearing socks with flip flops. The whole point of open toe sandals is naked feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchoolNurseMom Posted February 8, 2018 #21 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Never hose or socks with sandals. Maybe tights or leggings with close toed shoes or boots if its cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieB925 Posted February 8, 2018 #22 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I am firmly in the "no hose with sandals" camp. If you feel better in hose then wear some really nice close-toe pumps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrodsfan Posted March 25, 2018 #23 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I hate the “.new rule” of no hose. If it’s summer and one is young and tan and wearing sandles fine. But everyone else looks ill kept to me. Most women even with leg makeup .. ( yuck) look cheap without hose. Not a fan of this rule. Agree with the Queen on this one.
