Often criticised for sticking to the same style, Kate, who looked as slender as ever, experimented with a new, floatier look and Forties-style hairdo.
Here, with some expert help, JENNY STOCKS examines Kate’s winning look.

Hate Pantyhose? Try Thigh High Hose Instead

Some women simply detest panty hose and for a variety of reasons. For some ladies (especially those who are short waisted), panty hose feel uncomfortable with the high waist design. Other women dislike the pressure of elastic around the waist. Still others find that pantyhose encourage yeast infections, since pantyhose generally do not allow much air flow.

Don’t Let Pantyhose Rule Out Dresses and Other Leg Baring Outfits

Many women who have an aversion to pantyhose simply shift over to pants outfits, which are fine but are limiting especially when selecting business or party clothes. While there are some nice pant style outfits available, there are so many more outfits that would be elegant, professional of fun but do call for some type of leg covering for a finished look.

Pantyhose at Work: A Woman's Bondage or her Best Behavior?

My professional image PowerPoint presentation is over. I've shown slides of women in blue suits, beige blazers, and the sloping curves of cleavage on display. I've explained the difference between men's single-breasted and double-breasted jackets and (attempted to) justify whether men should wear wingtips, cap-toe oxfords, loafers, or some other shoe type on the job.

But now comes the time I most relish: Audience Q & A.

And here we go, the question that is always asked, no matter what:

"Do I have to wear pantyhose?"

Colored tights' timing is right in styling cycle

For years, decades -- maybe even since the invention of tights -- women wore them only with boots or shoes. Pairing peep-toe shoes or sandals with opaque tights was so obviously wrong that it rarely made lists of "don'ts." Such advice was unnecessary, like suggesting women avoid blouses with three sleeves or telling men not to hit the office with their neckties knotted in nooses.

Two years ago, several designers, including Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Jean Paul Gaultier, paired colored tights with sandals in runway shows. Actress Mischa Barton and model Kate Moss appeared with the look -- not caught by preying paparazzi on bad days, mind you, but actually posed in fashionable photographs.

If you are going to attempt this combination, allow me to point out a few guidlines. Wear this look with dark tights (preferably brown, navy, charcoal gray, and black), with shoes that are similar in color. You do not want the contrasting colors of your tights and shoes to vary significantly. However, do not match them perfectly (unless it is a black on black variation) because you could end up like Gwyneth below, as a metallic mess.
