Absolute Nothingness

So, I have a question: how old is too old to be wearing black tights with your work outfits?

When do you get to that age where you should no longer be wearing black tights with your skirts and shoes?

And what do you wear instead?

  1. That look never goes out of fashion, assuming your shoes are also black.

    Please in the name of all that holy tell me that your shoes are also black.

  2. Black tights are very in now, so I think they’re perfectly acceptable.

    As an alternate though, you can wear any colour in a non-opaque tight. That looks more “grown up” a lot of the time.

  3. Stick with the black tights for as long as possible.

    You do not want to have to start in with pantyhose. (God, even that word makes me cringe…)

  4. Well, I feel somewhat vindicated as I saw Nicole Kidman last night wearing black tights with her dress in the Oprah Oscar special.

    Yes, I feel shame just writing that sentence but it was George Clooney…

  5. I wear black tights with my skirts all the time and so does my sister in-law who is 6 years older than me! You’re never too old!

  6. Yeah, tights are fine — particularly in the winter, when they are a prudent choice for the sake of warmth. However, I find as I get older (and get more indoctrinated by British What Not To Wear) that I prefer a fishnet and a boot.

  7. i never thought i would ever have to give up black tights. if it’s a fashion faux pas, i’ll just need to never find out about it and remain in ignorant bliss.
