What to wear

[SV2001]

Vanity: I wear 20 - 30 on my left lower leg. This keeps the left matching the right. Would like both legs to look the same at least in color. Any suggestions?

Tights/pantyhose in a slightly darker colour than the garment?

Never thought of tights/pantyhose! Thanx!

I quite often wear leggings over the top of my support stocking. Fine in cooler weather, not sure how it will feel in hot weather though. Not vanity! just wanting to look and feel good xx

I tried the leggings as you suggested. Great in cooler weather but when summer heat began here it was a different story. We went to a water park today. My leg felt so painful I simply walked into the water complete with clothes, leggings and shoes. Ahhhh!

I wear leggings or tights in cooler weather too but I also have compression tights so no need for a garment underneath so maybe this is an option for you too (my le is from waist to knees so could be different but worth asking the nurse).

In the hot weather I just wear long, lightweight dresses instead. I have an array of dresses made from jersey material for daytime and fart types for evening 😄

Great minds think alike!! I have invested in 2 pairs of lightweight cotton gauze pants with wide leggings. Very breezy in hot weather. They are striped so I wear matching colored tops - also light weight cotton gauze. Variety in tops keeps me from getting bored. I work under the illusion that being coordinated shoulder to ankle keeps folks from noticing any mismatch in my feet. I do like your idea of long dresses in lightweight colors. Provides coordination with the added advantage of catching breezes under the skirt. Checking my sources for beige stockings better to match the stocking foot with the non-stocking foot. Vanity is expensive. Feeling good about my clothing has the advantage of making me more likely to engage in outdoor exercise and good nutrition. Funny how "little" things can make a difference.
