What tights to wear with a red dress?

Can't believe I'm posting on style and beauty!

I am going to an early May wedding. I have bought a red dress from Monsoon. Its not on website but like this but in rich red. I will be wearing it with high heel court shoes in a mushroom colour but haven't a clue what to put on my legs. The dress is not short but shows my wrinkly/baggy knees so would prefer to cover them. It's been years since I uncovered my legs, any ideas?

Lovely! I suggest nude tights, very sheer. You can get them anywhere. Make sure they aren't too white looking as they will make your legs look fat. Try and match them to your shoes - will elongate your legs. Have fun Smile

Id say Nude fishnets, much more stylish than sheer nude tights. Get them in any dept store.

Will nude tights cover my flabby knees?

Yes, they still flatter and flatten, make sure plenty of lycra in them.

Bare legs would be the most chic option.

I would also say a decnt pair of nude fishnets, they can be really flattering.
