Red patent shoes...tights? Bare legs?

Need a bit of help with this one as to what would be the 'done thing'.

Have bought a lovely new pair of red patent shoes:

and am thinking of wearing them to a christening this weekend with a black & white spotted dress. But what to put on my legs? Would definitely be a bit chilly with nothing (not to mention milk-bottle white) but am unsure whether black opaques would look a bit, well, not right? Am sure nude sheers would be a big no-no so am a bit stuck -help!

Lovely shoes!
Grey opaques would be good or even woollens depending on the fabric of the dress?

Hello. Lovely shoes.
If it was me I'd wear black tights. Is the dress long/short?
If it was long I'd stay with black - if it was short I'd wear tan tights a-la-Kate Middleton x

Oh! I thought nude tights would have me slung off the S & B threads! I am quite prepared to go down that route if not! The dress is knee-length, a sort of tea dress style, cap sleeves with a thin belt at the waist. Can't do a link as I've had it a long time, don't even remember where it's from! It's quite a thin material so couldn't do the woolly tights option. I do have grey opaques though, will have to have a trying-on session but keep the suggestions coming!

Now. I know some people disagree bit I think good nude tights look good. Not the super tan/super glossy "I'm-working-in-Vegas-as-a-showgirl" colour but nicely nude, M+S - no harm done :) I have such pale legs I'm a big fan x

Nude fishnets are perfect for these scenarios, much more stylish than normal nude tights which tbh can be quite ageing. (sorry) Get them in dept stores.
