I go a step further in saying I wouldn't wear tights at all - too casual. I'm finding grey works well (the Spanx reversible tights at Nordy's and Bloomie's are a godsend!) and have also attempted a dark purple with a plain black dress and pumps on a Friday. I thought it was fashion-forward while still being conservative. I agree that I would not wear patterned tights to a client meeting or other presentation.

I have some grey cabled tights I've been waiting to pull out. Incidentally, Hue has adorable neutral patterned hose--I buy them by the bunch at Macys. But I still would stick with plain old basic hose to wear them to court. Should the color of your tights match your skirt, or have I been watching too much “What Not To Wear”?

Since I'm at a relatively conservative law firm, I save my patterned, dark tights for "business casual" fridays. And please...no argyle tights. They look clownish/European-Middle-Ages-court-jester-ish to me, i.e., not cute. (S, I agree, grey & the greyish blue tights can work, too.)

I'll be on the lookout for that blue next time I'm out shopping.
