Is it proper for the mother of the groom to wear sandals without nylons?
On One Hand: Go Without NylonsThe mother of the groom may absolutely go without nylons when wearing sandals. Nylons tend to bunch up at the toe, and can be unflattering when worn with sandals or open-toed or slingback style shoes. Wearing them with sandals would likely reveal unsightly seams in the nylons.On the Other: Nylons Are More AcceptableIf the wedding is a formal evening event, wearing non-reinforced toe nylons is acceptable. If the wedding is in the afternoon, wearing a sheer nude nylon is best. If the wedding is in the winter, and the mother of the groom wants to wear nylons for added warmth, it is not out of the question.Bottom LineIt is more of a personal preference, although many fashion-forward people believe nylons are going out of style.
