@NovBaby1112: yep, i'd probably do tights too, just to be safe. I wear 40 den from h&m when its warmer out. And not nude!!
-
@hotchildinthecity: Haha, I've seen one in my 17 years on Wall Street, and it was probably 17 years ago, too. I just don't see them that often, honestly.
I just saw someone wearing black tights yesterday and I did a double take, it was too dark! Do nude hose.
-
@hotchildinthecity: @looch: Awe my hubby wears three piece suits too! Granted, he's more European than American so that might be why.
-
@looch: it might have been me you saw in the black tights!
-
Skinny pant suit with same material and color would work in Miami. People also wear platform heels.
-
@hotchildinthecity: haha! I would have much rather seen either bare legs or a sheerer choice. Don't get me wrong, I haven't busted out bare legs yet either, I wore dark tights last week myself!
-
Dude, You're the only rep AND you're hosting? I would go skirt, tights and suit jacket too.
-
@NovBaby1112: now that i see your event description i also say go with the pencil skirt suit!
-
@hotchildinthecity: @looch: conflicting advice? dont confuse a girl! lol
nude tights or black?? help me out people!
@locavore_mama: @mrsjyw: sorry! probably should have added those important details....
-
@NovBaby1112: honestly, i've always thought nude pantyhose were outdated, unless they have a cute pattern on them like the ones from express. I usually stick with black or gray.
-
@NovBaby1112: lol. You have to do what you are comfortable in! I don't do bare legs because my legs are covered in veins, so I would wear pants at the moment.
If anyone has a good rec for a nude pantyhose brand, I'd love to hear it, it has to have a control top and a bit of stretch to the hose, because they just slide down my legs!
-
@NovBaby1112: Opt for nude/skin-tone hose . . . black opaque is appropriate in winter, but black sheer is too *bordello* for daytime (in this environment). I am in the South and wear hose pretty much every day, and 80 degrees is a mild day for us! It's really not that bad. Not every body wears hose . . . but, I can tell you judges and clients have commented on how nice it is to see a woman in true professional dress.
-
I would also skip the button down and go with a simple shell/ cami (in a lightweight fabric like silk) underneath your jacket. Button downs can be difficult to wear under a jacket (too many buttons and/or non-matching buttons!) and can also cause problems with sleeves. Let the men wear the button downs (their suits are built to accommodate the bulk).
-
ok, thank you SO much everyone! I havent worn pantyhose since I was like 12, but I am trusting your professional opinions on these matters! I think I'm going to go with the nude.
I am probably going to go home and take pics tonight and make this gold to show you all the outfit. Y'all have made me nervous!
-
@honeybear: Totally agree regarding collar-less jackets!
-
@NovBaby1112: Didn't mean to stress you out! We would love to see pics!
-
@MsLipGloss: can you share which hose you wear?
-
@looch: Because I wear them all the time, I stick to super basic inexpensive hose . . . my go-to is L'eggs Sheer Energy in Nude (they have both control top and non-control top, and I prefer the non-control top). They're really sheer and hardly noticeable, and I don't cry when I run a pair (or two).
-
Skinny pants are fine as long as they're not leggings. Dress them up with a dressy blouse, matching blazer, and pumps, and you'll be fine.
-
@hotchildinthecity: 3-piece suits are HOT. Very Harvey.
-
@looch: Calvin Klein. The ultra sheer with the control top. They have them at Nordstrom. Very sheer and a very natural hue. I wear them all winter. I have like 12 pairs and I wash them in a lingerie bag in the washing machine. I have only run 2 pairs in the last 7 years... these things are made out of titanium (which might explain the price).
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Yup, Miami definitely has it's own take on professional attire!
@looch: I second Calvin Klein. I used to get them at the discount stores like Ross and Filene's.
-
For tights/hose recommendations, i wear hue, express and h&m. Express are my faveee though.
-
@NovBaby1112: What did you decide to wear? How did it go?
-
I Would think so! Just not jean material or leggings like you said.
