Not sure what would look good with black opaque tights for a Christmas do.

Help!

whatever you go for please make sure it isn't open toe. A no no in my book with tights. Other than that there is an awful lot of choice. It rather depends on what you are wearing apart from the tights.

Any type of shoe really... I wear peep toe black shoes with opaque tights (wouldn't wear nude colour shoes with them though) never a full sandal either. I'd wear any colour shoe with them too as long as it was a proper shoe not sandal.
Shoe boots look fab with them as it looks like your legs go on forever. Grin

Black suede wedges with closed toes and heels

I think the best thing with black opaque tights is black boots. BUT as others have said, it depends what else you're wearing. Not just tights presumably?!

Ooh wedges sound nice (and comfy Grin )

I have bought a leopard print short dress (it is a classy one, not a tarty one Wink )

In that case I think boots! Slim fitting, decent heel.

Do shoe boots not make your calves look big - I am a size 16 but tall and my legs are fairly good but my calves can look big if not careful Hmm

Spooky... I'm a 16 but not tall.. & as long as the shoe boots show some ankle or open a bit on the foot (some sort of come open to a v bit like a collar) then they are flattering but more like an ankle boot do nothing for me with tights & a dress but fine with jeans. Grin

Black patent high courts for a party IMO. I hate shoeboots with a dress for a party, just looks wrong like your legs have been cut off at the ankle! Shoeboots are for wearing with trousers or jeans

I love peep toes with black opaques!

LovelyMarchHare · 19/10/2013 17:07

Something about it makes me a bit queasy and I can't stop looking at the toe in tights through the peep hole thing. Am guessing it's me that has the problem!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/10/2013 17:40

Black shoeboots or black suede platforms here.

I like ankle boots with opaque tights and a dress during the day, but think for an evening do patent high heeled courts look more dressy - any colour.

Sparklysilversequins · 19/10/2013 21:01

Black suede shoe boots.

ShreddedHoops · 19/10/2013 22:07

Ooh yy to suede, to me shoes while interesting, are primarily about making my legs look good. So for that reason, no to shoeboots!
