Black hose used to be the norm here, but we ditched them because it just looks tacky. Unless you're wearing opaque tights (even tackier), black hose make your legs look splotchy black/gray. So we do black dresses, nude hose, and black shoes. If you're wearing open-toe shoes, just buy the sandalfoot type. No one can tell you're wearing hose with your shoes. I wouldn't go without hose, though. I've always been told that a lady wears stockings any time she wears a dress.
