Which tights with this dress?

[nevergoogle]

I bought this dress today, i have black patent heels, but which tights?

Purple, green or grey

Dunno, but just wanted to say 'gorgeous dress'!

it is a lovely dress, very flattering.

also will dress down well i think.

would black tights be a no-no? because they are more slimming.

Cream or white opaques.

oh now tethersend, i hold your opinion in very high regard (you have good form on S&B), but cream or white opaques??? won't i look like i am at risk of getting a DVT, wearing support stockings?

peacock crystal?

bicolor?

For what occasion? I'd be tempted by grey or navy, possibly something textured or lace.

i'm thinking christmas or birthday night out over the winter.

Lace all the way then! Would look lovely with patent shoes, lots of texture as dress looks quite plain.

lace sounds good.

any opinions on the ones i linked to?

Embrace the 60s!

FWIW, I think the bicolour ones will look good if you've got good legs. But cream would be better

i have an aversion to cream tights. i don't think i could.

any chance the bicolour ones will help flatter 'not so good legs', y'know, half them?

Sorry don't like the bi coloured ones

Embelished ones are nice

I would go for lace or micro nets

i have good legs for cycling 50 miles on my roadbike but not slinky legs.

Don't like the bicolour ones at all, sorry. If you have really good legs, white lacy opaques could look lovely in a Goth-Alice sort of way.

Otherwise how about some of those sheer black ones with a sort of black embroidered tattoo print on the lower outer leg?

Otherwise tbh I'd just go with black or grey opaques. Lace could look a bit much if the dress is v short.

yes to the embroidered tattoo thingy.

My mum is a stylish Parisian and always told me French women match their tights to their shoe colour, it makes your legs look longer & slimmer. So anyway thats just my advice, I would say lacey black ones or sheer black ones or even bare legs/tan tights then get your colours from your make-up & accesories, think BRIGHT!

what i'd give to be a stylish parisian.

black lace, deffo - zara have some good ones, decent quality without being ££££ - mine were about a tenner, I think? Primark also do some but are £1 and will ladder as soon as you look at them - strictly only for wear with dc in tow!!

Ha! Me too!

Good quality black opaque - like Wolford and /or heavy lace, depending on occasion.

Use your handbag or necklace to add colour.

elgoo how long is it? Is it above the knee? I quite fancy that myself.

it's above the knee cornsilk. quite short really. eek.
go try it on.
