    Hello all

    I'm wearing a black dress going out the weekend and i want to know what tights to wear with it. The dress looks pretty conservative from the front but has a huge open v back to it . I wanted to wear black opaques but thought this might b a little funeral-ishy (from the front at least!) Are patterned tights or those kinda lacey ones still in fashion? I dont really like those "suspender lookin" tights that were all the go around christmas, so what are my options? I'll prob wear nude shoes or nude and black shoes

    well from a males point of vies i would think the blk tights with the seam up the back are v sexy for a dress like urs ..... the tights that look like stockings are bit cheap looking xxxx maybe proper stockings or holdups if u are going that road xxx

    I'd personally go with the lacy stockings, but that's an American fashion perspective, so I don't know if that would be much help. Hope you have a fantastic time regardless! :)

    Hi I recently bought gorgeous 10 denier tights
    Wolford ones they were amazing on. Wouldn't have
    Thought of wearing them that light but saw Kate Middleton
    Wearing similar Hi glossy ones they were fab

    Thanks for the replies
    The seam up the back ones could be an option!
    Also re the wolfords, was it black u went for or tan or what? People seem to have a dislike for tan/flesh colour tights but i quite like then if 10 denier

    HI there,

    You are probably sorted by now, but you can buy tights online from worktights, which has a big selection of different styles.

    From the description of your dress, I'd definitely say sheers, and I tihnk the seam up te back would be the icing on the cake..

    I would say your best bet is the Wolford 10 denier barely black. They don't appear as intense as the opaques but still give the sophistication of sheer black tights.

    One of the guys was probably wrong! Were they more or less the same, seam up the back? Sounds to me like he's confusing porn stars with women from the 50s who used to always wear back seam tights...:)
