Boring thread -which colour tights with a navy dress?

I have just bought a navy dress for work, would black tights go, or should I go with navy?

I'm a tights novice!

Navy. Not black.

Some dark red/maroon ones would be nice. Or dark grey. Not sure about black or navy.

Depends on the dress tbh - style, shade and fabric.

Dark grey or burgundy?

WhoNickedMyName · 22/03/2014 17:53

I'd go for teal, mustard, grey or burgundy.

Ooh grey sounds good. I don't think I'd feel comfortable in non-neutral colours, I'm normally always in trousers, so I feel quite conscious, but I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone slowly!

As that's a summer dress I'd go for sheer natural or 'lightly tanned' stockings or tights.

I wear black opaque or semi-opaque tights and black shoes with navy dresses/skirts in the winter - no problem with black and navy together in my opinion.

Just seen the dress. Yes to nude tights. Black would be completely wrong and I don't think grey would work at all with it.

I would go for nude too.

What shoes will you wear with the dress?

princessalbert · 23/03/2014 14:48

The white trim makes me more likely to advise nude tights anyway. If you had dark legs it would look wrong. Also short sleeves - bare arms. So, nude tights means your arms and legs would be the same colour.

I bought some nice tights from Sainsburys - with just a little bit of gloss - not too shiny, but just enough to make the legs look nice.

I'd go for grey, mustard, nude or a deep or hot pink.
