Office wear has come a long way over the years. Gone are the days when women were required to wear skirts and pantyhose every day. Now women can wear trousers and pants that are feminine versions of the once strictly-male wardrobe. But though pants can be liberating and just what you want on those days when you’re feeling a chill in the air, some days you just want to wear a skirt.

There are still offices that hold fast to the policy that all skirts must be worn with legwear, so finding the right hose can be tricky. You obviously would not want to wear a pair of sexy black fishnets to the office; stick with the black sheers. Here are a few other suggestions on what to wear to the office when a skirt is on the fashion agenda.

• Brightly colored tights are fun and fabulous for going out, but can be overbearing at the office. If you want to wear colors to work, stick to neutrals like grey, burgundy, or navy. Be sure that you match your tights to either your shoes or your skirt to create a block of color that gives you a long, sleek look. Try Dorella’s semi-sheer glossy tights in Ruggine, which is a lovely, yet subtle, ruby red.
• Leggings are hotly debated lately; are they appropriate for work? Yes and no, though your office policy may vary. Leggings that are made for holding the warrior pose? Maybe not. But leggings that are lighter and sleeker are a go in our book. Try Bellissima leggings K2 in 3D microfiber. With a 300 denier, they’ll keep you warm and stylish at any office.
• Sometimes you need a nice neutral that looks as though you skipped legwear all together. A pair of seamless tights might be just the ticket for the look you want. Divina 20 makes a seamless tight in a light, 20 denier that still holds its shape and feels silky smooth. Cosmetic is best for light-medium skin tones, while Playa is a warm and sandy color for medium or olive skin.
