In what looks is it appropriate to wear nude tights, tips for choosing

Hosiery of any shade and density is in every woman's wardrobe. In nylon underwear, legs look especially attractive, and the image acquires a harmonious, complete look. The variety of models allows you to create interesting sets for any occasion. But among such items of women's wardrobe there is such a thing, the attitude to which today is very ambiguous. Almost all modern stylists unanimously declare that wearing flesh-colored tights is bad form, and recommend completely abandoning such underwear. This opinion did not come out of nowhere, there are several reasons why a woman should listen to the advice of fashion professionals. And yet, sometimes appearing in tights in the color of the body is quite appropriate, especially if the girl can choose the right model of hosiery.

Why did they become an anti-trend?

Not so long ago, nude nylon tights did not provoke a negative reaction from stylists. On the contrary, women in such underwear were considered a model of decency, modesty and elegance. The beige color did not cause any complaints from anyone. Such a wardrobe item was demonstrated by celebrities, whose taste was considered impeccable. However, today, thanks to the light hand of fashion stylists, everything has changed. In Italy and other European countries, for example, a girl who appeared in nude tights will cause disapproving glances. The luminaries of fashion especially disliked openwork, shiny underwear, models with a pattern, a tan effect, products with protruding elastic bands.

This sudden change in attitude towards beige hosiery can be explained by the following arguments:

1. The image of flesh-colored tights is associated today with outdated women's outfits of the past. This option is considered acceptable for women over 50. In order not to age themselves prematurely, girls should refuse such products.
2. The current century has been marked by the triumph of virtual reality, the large-scale development of online communication, social networks and the rise of Instagram, where girls love to post their photos. In photos, even the most beautiful women in flesh-colored tights look unnatural, the telltale shine from camera flashes reveals a noticeable difference between natural skin and its "imitation". Such blunders in photos (bright glare on the legs) are very noticeable, leaving an unpleasant impression of the created image.
3. There is no need to wear tights that imitate the natural color of your skin when you can show the world the natural shade of your bare legs.
4. Flesh-colored tights that don't match the skin tone of the exposed areas of the body look ridiculous. It turns out that the girl's arms and legs are different shades.
5. The image is especially spoiled by various unnatural supposedly flesh-colored shades. Some girls, for example, really like the tan effect, not realizing that legs in such tights will look very unfavorable against the background of other parts of the body. Sometimes the shade of underwear gives the skin a sickly yellowish or dusty look.

Separately, we can say about the patterns on flesh-colored tights. Such a product assumes imitation of natural skin, therefore decorative elements look completely absurd, creating a feeling of defects and some incomprehensible marks on the body.

Outdated rules of etiquette

The etiquette that requires women to wear nude tights is confidently becoming a thing of the past in the civilized world community. Dress code rules, still relevant for Russian women, state that it is unacceptable for an office worker to appear at work with bare legs (and it does not matter that it is summer and hot outside). A ban is also imposed on deep cleavage, black fishnet stockings with an elastic band protruding for everyone to see, and mini-skirts. Such a code is explained by the fact that in male colleagues, these liberties in women's wardrobe evoke thoughts that are not at all related to the work process. Italian women are actively promoting a new trend - the rejection of nude tights, and increasingly appear at work with bare legs, not considering it shameful.

The question of whether to wear tights in the summer is controversial today. It is appropriate to wear flesh-colored nylon underwear at this time of year, when the weather becomes cool, and a woman will simply feel uncomfortable with bare legs. This option is chosen if it is difficult to match another color of tights to clothes or if you do not want to complement the image with gloomy, dull shades. Nude hosiery is good for light, light-colored sets, and the flesh-colored underwear is also harmonious when combined with beige shoes. But again, in the summer this option is more suitable for formal events, where the dress code is still relevant, or for a cool evening.

Without a doubt, every woman should know why and when it is absolutely not worth wearing nude tights. Fashion taboos from stylists:

1. If the weather is hot outside, a girl in tights will look simply awful (the exception is office workers).
2. Legs in flesh-colored tights worn with sandals and any other open shoes look very unaesthetic.
3. Nude fishnet hosiery with patterns and lace trim will be considered bad taste.
4. You should not wear thick, opaque tights, especially those with shine.
5. You should not choose products with a tan effect or other unnatural beige shades.
6. Tights should be without protruding elastic bands and correctly sized so that the waistline is not excessively pulled in, creating ugly protruding side folds visible through clothing.
7. Wearing nude tights is not appropriate not only in summer, but also in winter; in cold and frosty weather, a girl with bare legs (and this is exactly the effect that nude underwear is intended to create) looks simply ridiculous.

Nude socks deserve special attention. Stylists believe that such a thing should not be present in a woman's wardrobe; it is inappropriate to wear such items in a nude color either under a dress or under trousers. Forming unpleasant folds when bending the leg, they will be noticeable and will attract unnecessary attention, spoiling the overall impression of the image.

In what images are they appropriate?

In some cases, flesh-colored tights will be very appropriate. The following arguments can be made to protect nude lingerie:

1. Nylon hosiery is inappropriate in the summer (especially if it's hot) and looks ridiculous in the winter, but during the off-season or in cool summer weather, they can be a good option.
2. The presence of “invisible” tights is justified when it is “indecent” to show bare legs (formal event, dress code).
3. A pleasant look is achieved by wearing nude underwear under white clothes or with an outfit in beige tones (nude “looks”) with shoes of the same shade.
4. In spring or autumn, tights in the color of the body are appropriate in a light, airy wardrobe of any pastel shades, when another palette of underwear is unacceptable, and dark colors can completely ruin the image, making it gloomy and ridiculous.
5. Light-colored hosiery looks beautiful with dresses decorated with a floral print.
6. Stylists approved beige tights worn with over-the-knee boots. In this case, the underwear creates a dividing line between the shoes and the upper part of the outfit.
7. Another option that has a right to exist is flesh-colored tights, which are worn with thick knee-high or below-the-knee socks on top.

In all cases, tights should be as invisible as possible on the legs.

Tips for choosing

Those who have decided to wear nude tights, despite their growing dislike for them, should follow certain rules when choosing the right model:

1. You need to select the shade of tights very carefully; it should be as close as possible to your body color.
2. There should be no patterns or lace designs on flesh-colored hosiery.
3. Tights should be chosen only the thinnest and most translucent, almost invisible on the leg. Recommended density - 8-15 den.
4. You should avoid nude underwear that creates a tanning effect.
5. There should be no gloss, preference should be given only to matte products. Shiny tights are a faux pas.
6. You need to buy good, expensive hosiery, the quality should be top notch.
7. The size should be chosen perfectly so that the tights do not create “wrinkles” on the leg, and the tight elastic does not squeeze the waist, forming hanging folds of the body on the sides.

If you choose women's nude tights wisely and wear them at the right time, in the right place (and with the "right" outfit), the resulting image will look beautiful and harmonious. In no case should you wear them with sandals and boots, ankle boots with an open toe. You should choose only 8, 10 and 15 den options.
