It totally depends on where you live. The "no white shoes after Labor Day" rule is followed most strictly in the South. And here in Seattle, wearing colored (not nude or black) hose, even suntan hose, will get you snickers. (Cause you're trying too hard, and in Seattle, if you can't wear it with fleece, don't wear it at all! You shouldn't even be dressed up in hose anyway!)
I always wonder if women are "supposed to" wear hose with open-toed shoes? Some of my sisters say, "Oh, it's so tacky to wear any dress without hose," but I think seeing hose around the toes and covering the pedicure looks hideous.
My pet peeve: Women who wear white/cream hose in the winter when they are not even wearing a white or light outfit! Like white hose with a black skirt and shoes. Pastel hosiery makes legs look fatter, and it totally breaks up the line of the leg.
I think it's funny how rules change depending on geography. What's tacky somewhere is normal elsewhere, and what is classy in one place is tacky elsewhere. But - please, no panty lines, I don't care where you live!
