With regular heels/dress shoes...Absolutely

Another former banker here too.

Cam took the words out of my mouth. Besides, wearing open toed shoes/sandals is a great excuse to get pampered with a pedicure!

And yup, count me into the "former banker" club! I was a loan officer.

After living and working in Central Florida for 12 years I never wear full panthyhose anymore. For years I have only worn Thigh highes with elastic tops. They work great with long and short dresses. Not to warm and definitely not uncomfortable. I like the Hanes brand and usually buy them at the outlet stores or online.

Just watch the Grammy's, Oscar's, or Tony's...those ladies are dressed to the nines and in the most expensive designer gowns out there and they aren't wearing hose...you see short, medium and long gowns...no hose...just those pretty, strappy sandals and pretty toe nail polish.

I think hose look ridiculous when it is a sweltering 90 degrees outside. You're on vacation...enjoy yourself and be comfortable.

Don't worry about having tan legs either...I have had malignant melanoma from sun exposure (just coming off chemo and radiation)...and trust me, tan legs are not worth the risk on your life. You will be beautiful just as you are.

Call me silly, but I don't feel properly dressed without them.

Just thought of another plus to full panthose....Control Top!

Absolutly No Hose! I bought an expensive pair on 4/20 cruise and did not wear them, even with long gown. Wore sandals and felt very comfortable. I say, leave the hose at home!

I say go with the pedicure before you cruise or on the cruise and some really sexy strappy sandals (that are comfortable) and really let your hair down!! I was also a banker for over 15 years. The best thing about vacations is that you don't know a sole on the ship and who cares what they think. Try a new look! Buy a new dress that looks really good with those sexy strappy sandals.

And as for the control top nylons.....
Panty Girdles are really slimming and can do wonders for an evening dress!!! They are very modern and look good with just about anything to control what needs to be controlled.

There you go.....NO NYLONS!

My wife usually wears panty hose, but instead wore a garter belt and said it was much cooler, and easier since the later in the week, after all the eating, it's not as tight around the waist.
