I think it all depends on the type of lace. There are so many different variations. You could end up looking like a doily or it could look perfect. Either way I don’t think they are something to wear lightly and should be thought through. Even so I’ll probably be wearing them.

I wore mine last fall a lot.
They will definitely be worn again this fall.

Yes, but I just got them in dark gray rather than black.

I love lace tights, but only with knee-high boots and a pencil skirt so there is only a bit of lace showing…very discreetly sexy.

@#13
Did you go to high school with me? Because I was totally the girl who wore white lace tights with a short pink corduroy skirt, a spiderman t-shirt and combat boots or chucks.
Thankfully, I outgrew all of those clothes (except the combat boots which have totally fallen apart).

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY WEAR THEM.
I was just saying to myself that because the lace trend is so popular for the fall the best way to do it would be with some tights – seriously.
Wear them with a black dress and some over the knee high boots so they just peak out enough – and that would be on a conservative day.

if lace tights are something you think you can’t do, try wearing them over sheer black tights and you get the texture you want without the outright lace look that might be too much.

I can see them with a t-shirt dress and thigh high boots for August ; )

Poster 16 (thanks for the numbers–love it), I work in a conservative environment, but don’t really wear suits. With the funkier tights (really bright colors, fishnets, lace) that I’ve liked in the past few years, I’ve worn them with super super conservative skirts and plain heels. It works well and I get compliments from female superiors on looking cute and good, which I think is the barometer, without having any looks. I also make it the main “accessory” of the outfit to avoid too much flash for my workplace. I think there should definitely be a discussion on how to work in trends in conservative workplaces! Because on this site, a lot of the readers work in fashion and can do what they want, and a significant minority of the readers may be in professions where they are lucky enough to afford this stuff but have to be careful on how to work it in to their daily wardrobes.

I was contemplating buying a pair to wear with a conservative cream-colored shift to work. Are lace-tights as “racy” as fishnet stockings for a business-casual environment?

Hell yeah! I have to admit I tend to hate lace and frill, but the lace tight would allow me do lace with out looking overly vintage, overly fem. Tights = lace with an edge!

I think you just have to be really careful with the length of the skirt. TERRIBLE with short skirts. Can be cute with something a little prudish, librariany. Adds a little naughtiness.
