open toes with stockings

Yup, I love to rock that look too. It has to be patterned tights or something other than regular panty hose. I can't stand it to see a girl wearing regular panty hose and this look, just seems off.

ITA. They have to be fun tights, but its such a cute look!

I agree w/ the comments above. Cute patterned tights work well w/ open toes.

i wear them with plain black tights; no shame!

okay...so today i'm wearing open-toed (well, peeptoe) shoes with tights, a la drew. she pulls it off so fabulously, i figured i'd give it a go. i feel a little funny, so i thought i'd poll my favorite girls about their visible stocking-toe habits. and don't worry, my seams are not showing.

Me? Wow, thanks! I DO love that look. Also, I love trouser socks with open toes too! You just have to tuck the seam under your toes (sometimes I cut the trouser socks so they are a little above the ankle, and they naturally roll down a little without the seam; try it, I bet you'll like it)

Only with fun tights, never pantyhose.

Ive never tried this, but love the idea.... when you wear peep toes with tights, what type of outfit do you wear with this? Could you girls that do this give me some ideas.

I have done it with regular pantyhose. I don't like the look or regular hose, but it's better than seeing my too pale skin which is more embarrasing to see!

i stick to peep toes and wear them with patterned trouser socks. i also have a few pair of sweet little crochet-type socks that i love the look of with peep toes.

i was going to post some of my old threadstyle pics which showed an idea (not that i am a prime example or anything) but my photos are long gone. i'm pretty casual so i'm usually wearing them with jeans. done with little socks or the cut-off trouser sock idea from drew i think it would look really cute with a fuller skirt for spring though

Agreed that it's a cute look with patterned/textured tights or trouser socks. No thanks to plain pantyhose.

Yep, peeps are great with tights since there's so little toe showing anways. Otherwise, if the're full open toed sandals, they need to be bare or with no toe pantyhose were the seam somehow hides in your shoe.....(obviously can't be accomplished with some of the thin, strappy ones out there)
