Duchess Catherine and Pippa Middleton are fans of nude pantyhose, and thanks to the sisters, sales of the hosiery have spiked! We asked celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe to weigh in on the look. “I think they’re OK if Kate Middleton is wearing them,” Zoe told InStyle.com at the Saks Fifth Avenue launch event for her new collection in New York last night. “I think Kate Middleton can actually do no wrong right now,” she continued. “I actually kind of die for her.” While Zoe is clearly a fan of the style, Tim Gunn had a different opinion. So, where do you stand on nude stockings? Let us know in our poll!

PLUS! Look back at all of Duchess Catherine’s North American tour outfits in the gallery.

As much as I avoid wearing pantyhose myself (too hot most times) I think it has always really complimented your legs. It evens out color, hides veins or discolorations, and smooths out bumpy knees.

You are right Lyn. I saw a picture of Sarah Jessica Parker’s feet and stockings would have helped a lot. Because of years of heels her feet now look so bad. Broken veins and lumpy looking, really ugly. I felt bad for her feet.

Duchess Catherine is royalty now and I think it gives her a more polished, elegant look. Her standards are quite different from the average girl on the street. It is nice to see some sort of a “dress code” being upheld.

It’s required of her as a member of royalty, plain and simple.

I recently purchased a new pair of pantyhose that were a 12 denier and I compared them to the ones I purchased a while ago from a drug store and WOW what a difference. When I did wear the new ones, they didn’t bother me. I didn’t get that hot in them and I had to tell a friend that I was wearing pantyhose, she couldn’t tell; which is the whole point. I did the research on them from mytights.com and now I know how to shop for pantyhose. I will always wear pantyhose when in a dress or skirt, it just looks better!

Always thought nylons (USA) were an enhancement when wearing a dress or suit. Never ever work in dress/suitwithout. Years ago, always tried to color coordinate (dating myself). But very professional career, and almost always wore suits. Control top at the time. Before spankx. Still control stops/skip the spanks.

I live in the U.S. but I always used to wear pantyhose back when I lived in England, it’s the only way to wear a dress and not freeze.
