What colour tights

Teal dress, grey shoes. Do I wear grey tights or teal tights? I'm 5ft5, worry about my legs looking a bit short if that has any bearing on the matter.
Ta!

Black tight? Opaque.

Black or "nearly black" that comes up dark grey IMHO Smile

They would be thick opaques. I thought black might make my legs look even shorter given there would be that third colour cut off by shoes at one end, dress at other.

My preference would be grey I suppose - seems less 'out there' than having teal-clad legs!

I think teal would be too 'matching' with a teal dress. Grey ok, if you can fund the right grey colour.

Black. Always ok Smile

I might just go black tights and black shoes and stop worrying :)

I love grey patterned tights tbh but I'm not that current (aka fortysomething) so don't necessarily take my suggestion if you do mega fashionable Wink

espanol · 27/10/2012 22:31

Definitely not mega fashionable :) 30 something, clueless but trying sums me up!

Black, or a very dark charcoal grey. Definatley not teal.

espanol · 27/10/2012 22:40

Thanks. I didn't really want teal so glad you all agree that's not a good idea!

Charcoal!

FaffTastic · 27/10/2012 23:07

What shade of grey are the shoes? Light, medium or dark? Are they suede, leather or patent? What style are they?

Sorry - loads of questions about the shoes!

espanol · 28/10/2012 18:44

These ones - medium grey I guess.

Hope link works - on phone and not linked from phone before!

Looking at your shoes, I'd say a very dark charcoal grey would be your best bet.

espanol · 28/10/2012 19:47

Thanks :)

I would actually say go for a dull yellow but I'm in Scandinavia and coloured tights are very popular.

Something like this in yellow www.stockingshq.com/tights-c1/fiore-paula-microfibre-opaque-tights-p620

The link is for tights but the website also has stockings.
