I don't think so.
I did see someone the other day wearing greyish-blue tights with slight sheen with navy dress - looked fab!

wokeupwithasmile · 04/10/2013 10:39

Never! Why not using transparent ones?

callamia · 04/10/2013 10:41

I would, and I have.
And nothing terrible happened.

YDdraigGoch · 04/10/2013 10:42

I think yes. If this was the 1970s, or 1980s, I would have said no, but 2013 - yes.

Today, I am wearing a navy dress, black tights and brown boots.

I can't see a problem with that, I feel well dressed, and would judge anyone that felt the need to be judgy about my choices Grin
Each to thier own...

Yes to what YD said - just google some images and there are plenty of examples of fab navy dress/black tights combos on the catwalk and in real life.

likelucklove · 04/10/2013 10:55

No. I go like this Confused because of this problem.

I've got a lovely burgundy pair from Primark that go with a lot of things.

It's fine! Black tights are pretty neutral IMO.

dexter73 · 04/10/2013 12:41

I love navy and black together! Am wearing a navy and black dress today in fact.

JudithOfThePiece · 04/10/2013 12:54

I think it depends what else you are wearing. For example:

Black boots, grey cardigan, black/ silver necklace? Yes to black tights. Or grey ones.

Brown boots, brown/pink cardigan, wooden necklace - nude or brown tights.

snowlie · 04/10/2013 13:07

I think nude tights would work better.

Vintagebeads · 04/10/2013 13:11

Black are ok,I like nude or grey. Grey tights look lovely I think.

ShreddedHoops · 04/10/2013 13:14

Yes black are fine! Most coloured tights look gimmicky and 'kooky' IMHO.

milkyman · 04/10/2013 13:40

thabkd, am going to wear with long black boots
