    Both.

    Add: And a white blouse under a blazer/jacket that matches the skirt if possible.

    Absolutely. And then you wear them to work everyday after when you wear skirts.

    Good luck! I hope you nail it!

    Absolutely. I'll also second chivalryder and say a suit is your best option.

    To be honest I never got the hype. It usually takes me a few seconds to realise someone is wearing hose and doesn't actually just have really nice leg skin LOL

    but yeah, in an evironment like that it's best to be safe. Wear 'em.

    Only if you're female

    Sorry, couldn't resist. I say yes.

    If it's a "business dress" atmosphere, then I say yes. Everywhere I've worked that had a dress code better than casual required hose...

    Absolutely.

    I always do, thought not out of requirement...more from the fact my legs are so pasty white I get the ones that make me look tanned!

    For finance yes.

    If you were going to work at an insurance office or a small business, I would say no. But Corporate America usually has some pretty strict dress codes.

    Good luck!

    Yes - unless you're in a very hot climate where everyone walks around with bare legs, or you have smooth, tanned, gleaming, completely hair-free legs that could secure you the job on their own. Any stubble, bumps and bruises - best to cover up. :happy:

    Yes; though if you want to funk it up, I believe it's now acceptable to wear a solid color or black instead of nude. However, to be absolutely safe, see-through nude is the way to go. No patterns, no colours...

    yes. i don't know how old you are, but I always like to wear black with a pattern (not colored, but sewn in, you know what I mean? Like a paisley pattern or something) to show a bit of your personality.
