There is no outstanding stocking colour any more, because the ques- tion of colour harmony, in hosiery is considered eo carefully with cach ensemble..

The lighter tones of beige shoes are. usually matched exactly in hostery to give an unbroken, nude look te the leg and foot..

Dárk grey or taupe sheer stockings are effective with navy-blue and with black or green coats trimmed in grey fur. These dark stockings are also an excellent choice with a black Oxford, because the break at the high line of the shoe becomes less decided.
