The days when flesh-coloured tights were considered a grandmother's garment are gone. Brought into the limelight a few years ago by Kate Middleton, nude tights are back to being a fashion accessory to have in your drawer. Perfect for wearing in winter, they give the leg that nude, it-girl feeling.

But remember that flesh-coloured tights are one of the most difficult fashion accessories to choose. You have to pay attention to the right coverage, the shade and, above all, the clothes to match.

So if you're one of those fashion addicts for whom wearing one of the most controversial pieces of clothing in fashion history is still "out there", or if you think they're too difficult to choose, we'll change your mind! Read on to find out how to wear nude tights without looking old-fashioned and, above all, without making any style mistakes!

Nude tights: how to choose them
First of all, what you need to pay attention to is the shade. This type of tights serves to mask small imperfections and to even out skin colour. For this reason they must be chosen with the same care as you would choose a foundation for your skin: that is the shade of colour must be as close as possible to that of your complexion so that the flesh-coloured tights are invisible and natural, creating the illusion that you are not wearing anything on your legs. You should prefer not glossy shades but tights with an opaque texture.

Furthermore, the denier is another thing to pay attention to. It's not enough to choose the right shade, you also need to pay attention to the number of deniers. Flesh-coloured 50 denier tights are out, opt instead for sheer tights between 20 and 30 deniers, which allow a glimpse of the leg and create a much more natural effect. 

Nude tights with patterns and embroidery are also trendy this year, like those you can find in our catalogue. These are interesting models for creating stylish optical illusions. 

Flesh-coloured tights: tips to avoid mistakes
When wearing flesh-coloured socks, it is best to avoid combining them with overly sporty materials and accessories, such as trainers. At the same time, we also advise against combining them with very heavy items of clothing such as dresses and wool maxi sweaters, as the contrast with the nude effect leg would make the whole outfit look antithetical. In these cases it is preferable to opt for opaque and supermatt stockings such as our 90 denier tights, available in many colours. 
Medium-length dresses and knee-length boots are the way to go and, if you don't want to give up your rock soul, rather than going for combinations such as leather and faux leather, opt for nude tights with animal prints. You will immediately have a more aggressive allure. 

So, if you're still asking yourself the question "to wear flesh-coloured tights: yes or no?", here's the answer. The answer from the LeelaLab team is absolutely yes! Remember to choose the right colour to match your skin tone and to match your shoes and clothes correctly.
