Milan Fashion Week shoes: Sheer tights with strappy sandals at Missoni
Tights with sandals has long been denounced as one of the great fashion faux pas of our time, but the recent trend for sheer tights seems to be putting an end to that. These rather lovely strappy sandals, for instance, were worn with sheer tights on Missoni's catwalk this week at Milan Fashion Week, and Missoni haven't been the only designers recently to pair sheer tights and sandals in this way. The tights in question in these pictures are lacking the reinforced toe which I think makes the combination look bad, but I'm not sure how long I'd be able to wear them without sticking my toe right through the front - not a great look!
Would you/do you wear sheer tights with sandals, or is it still a "no-no"?

I actually think the contrast between the dark tights and the metallic brights of the shoes looks even better than it would with bare legs. I especially love the fineness of the tights, it reminds me of old fashioned silk stockings. I think if it was done with a pair of 40 deniers from Boots it wouldn't look quite so effective.

I shall be wearing sheers with everything this summer (not least because my legs look like those of a plucked turkey). They'd have to be pretty good tights to not have a reinforced toe, though. I don't fancy going out every weekend to replenish my stock after having made holes in them all. Anyway, tights with peep-toes is, on the whole, fine by my standards. As long as there aren't any unsightly seams. (By the way, did you know you can get tights with no toes specially made to be worn with peep-toes?)

I have always lamented about the no tights with sandals rule. It should only be a no reinforced toe with sandals rule.
I hate to show stubble and my hair and skin is so ...er, *special*, that you can actually see stubble UNDER my skin after shaving (only waxing removes this). So I love tights. And what's not to love about sandals?
I mean, you're not going to see me in flipflops and tights, but I sure hope this look for formal sandals goes and stays mainstream, because it would be heaven-sent for me.
