The most versatile stocking is one that is a shade darker than your natural skin color, has a nude toe, and is heelless. It will slip into any shoe, go with any garment, and blend into the complete outfit easily. Hosiery that is the same color as the garment and shoes will lengthen appearance and unify a look. Dark brown, black, or navy hosiery looks best with the same color clothing. Lighter colored clothes and clothes in delicate fabrics are complemented with light-colored hose and shoes.
Hosiery can emphasize the leg.
The degree of emphasis depends on the distance from hemline to shoe and the hosiery color and texture. Fine-textured, sheer, and slightly darker than skin color hosiery makes the leg appear smaller. A handbag should hold your necessities. It should be a bag to hold in your hand, not a suitcase to weigh you down. Although often purchased with shoes, a handbag no longer needs to exactly match them.
