Women in the corporate world are often told that if they’re going on an interview or going to work, it’s often recommended that dark pantyhose are worn. Has anyone ever asked why? Business attire is usually boring, drab and gray for a reason. Since you’re at work and not out at a singles bar, business clothing is designed to minimize physical attractiveness as much as possible. Dark hose are said to take attention away from a woman’s legs by hiding them in the dark, namely dark blue or black.
Even if you’re wearing business attire, that’s no reason to hide everything about yourself. It’s supposed to be subdued, but wearing light-colored or nude-colored hosiery isn’t necessarily taboo. If you feel like wearing it, feel free to do so! Business attire is very restrictive in the first place, so the type of pantyhose you wear isn’t as big a deal as, say, the length of your skirt. Try to mix things up by wearing light-colored pantyhose with dark colored suits, and dark-colored pantyhose with light colored suits. This provides a nice contrast that lets you stand out, but not so much that you draw unnecessary attention to yourself.
