I bought this skirt it's bloody amazing but tights? Help

Oh thank you, I thought it was only me holding back my inner Regina George ….

Bare legs in January is lunacy.

I wouldn’t wear that skirt to work though.

I’m quite a ‘classic (some might say boring!) dresser, and I would absolutely wear that skirt with high boots, but they’d need to be a close fitting, slim style - ideally a ‘sock boot’ or if not, a suede boot (leather would look odd) - and sit high enough up that there is no awkward gap between skirt and boot.

I like alk-black outfits with different textures of fabric involved, so I’d wear it with a long sleeve, fitted black polo neck or a boxy, possibly ‘fluffy’ sweater in black, OR a slouchy fine-kniy in dark grey or possibly a very dark brown. I think you could pull that off nicely for winter work wear.

‘No bare legs / nude tights / bare ankles showing’ after October half term was always my rule (a completely made up by ME rule, to be fair) when worked in education.

If it was Spring, I think nude tights / bare legs and trainers/high tops and a boxy jumper would look great, but maybe not for school unless you’re the ‘I’m a bit funky, me’ art teacher or summat 😉

I have to agree. Not a fan at all. Even the model who is attractive doesn't look great in it.

The whole outfit she has got on - including the skirt - is dreadful! 😬

JMO.

I would probably wear black tights with it if I did ever wear it (though I never would!)

I don't do short skirts (or mornings) anymore. By the time I am up and about, it's not so cold.

I can't remember the last time I wore tights or, God forgive, stockings.

Unfortunately not , just a working class factory worker 😀😀😀 but the factory was a clothing factory so all the ladies working there on basically a minimum wage used to be able to buy clothes at a massively reduced rate so they used to all look amazing in the pub at the weekend . The leather outfit wasn’t a work one but one she saved for ages for. Im contemplating that skirt for myself now.

I’m also amazed that everyone else loves it. Looks cheap.

Skirt is gorgeous OP. I remember my mother having something very similar in the mid 80s. She went for full effect with a matching leather blouson jacket .

I agree - would go for semi sheer chocolate or aubergine tights with exact same colour neat shoe/boot and neat top / jumper as a backdrop to leave the skirt as main character. I think the material, cut and whole wrap thing needs not to be fought with - almost like a sculpture on a plinth in a gallery.

patterned and colour tights are awesome. I have about 20 pairs. just makes an outfit more interesting i think. Now I never wear just black. too boring.

Patterned tights in black could work if no sheer tights in black or skin tone. It does look lovely in the picture but I think it just might not on size 16 me!

@iCod AI suggests; 😊

Tights Style, Colour & Density. Why It Works
The Classic Evening
Sheer Black (10–20 Denier)
Adds a sophisticated, Parisian edge. It shows a glimpse of skin beneath the wrap, preventing the black leather from looking too heavy.
The Cosy Daytime
Opaque Black (60–100 Denier)
Perfect for winter. It creates a sleek, continuous silhouette that elongates your legs, especially when paired with black boots.
The Fashion-Forward
Patterned Black (Polka dot, fishnet, or chevron)
Adds rich texture and visual interest to a monochrome look without clashing with the skirt's asymmetric hemline.
The Soft Alternative
Charcoal Grey or Deep Espresso Burgundy
Softens the harshness of an all-black look while keeping the outfit grounded in rich, autumnal tones.

👜 Finishing Touches
Jewellery: The skirt features a discreet back zip, giving you total freedom at the front. Lean into bold gold jewellery (like chunky hoop earrings, a heavy chain necklace, or stacked rings) to add warmth against the black polyurethane.
Belts: Because the waist features a slightly dipping front edge, avoid thick belts that crowd the area. Let the high-waisted wrap silhouette do the work on its own.
Bags: Opt for a structured baguette shoulder bag or a minimal leather clutch to mirror the clean, modern lines of the design.

Typo for colour, I assumed.

Love the difference in fit on the two models, one showing full knee and sliver of thigh, the other really not.

No, I didn’t think of that! I would go bold
