The color choice of your tights or nylon stockings in combination with a skirt or dress is particularly important but not always easy.
The wrong color makes you look striking, but probably not with the right effect. However, choosing the right color for your legwear is not always difficult and we have listed a number of tips.
1. The match with your skirt or dress
Choose the color of your stockings that matches the skirt or dress. If you wear a dark color, also choose dark tights, this gives the best result. Feel free to try a different shade. There is plenty of choice and if you start with the cheaper segment you can later opt for more expensive and more durable stockings.
2. Appropriate match with your shoes
You can also choose to base it on the color of your shoes. If the shoes are dark, go for dark stockings. If your shoe is darker than the skirt or dress, it is better to opt for stockings in a skin color. This also applies if your shoes are brighter in color: a skin color is always good. In general, the rule of thumb is that the color of your shoes should never be lighter than the color of your stockings.

3. Matching your skin color.
If you are still not sure which color to choose, wearing skin-colored tights is always the best option. It's better to wear inconspicuous tights that work as foundation than the wrong color. If you want to wear browner stockings, make sure your legs are already slightly tanned, otherwise you will get an ordinary effect.
4. Match the style of your shoes
The style of your shoes can also have an effect on the stockings you wear. If the shoes are open (at the top), choose a stocking that is transparent.

5. A provocative outfit
If you want to go chic, choose real fully fashioned nylon stockings in black or beige. These will cover your legs and show them in a flattering way.
6. Choose your own style and match
The rules are nice, but sometimes it is necessary to deviate from them. If you are in the mood to experiment then do so. Legwear should above all reflect something of yourself and dare to choose stockings with a pattern or clear color. Don't forget to see if this suits you or not, you don't want to leave the wrong impression. Choose the right style of legwear for every occasion. For example, you will probably not wear fully fashioned stockings every day and alternate them with other legwear such as Hold Ups and tights.
Finally, enjoy choosing your legwear and wearing it. Go in the style you want!
