Navy dress black tights. Yes, no?

[21pc]

If no, what do you wear instead?

Navy dress + black tights + black shoes
Yes

Yes.

Yes.

i wear dark grey tights with navy

Yes.
At least I hope so. It's what I'm wearing right now!

..so no, personally

Yes, I wear black tights with navy dresses all the time.

I say no. Makes my teeth itch.

BUT

Remus posted a link of it looking alright on another thread, and now my world is shattered. I don't know anymore. I DON'T KNOW.

Heavens above - no.

Not unless you want to look like Kate Middleton

Dark grey or nearly black is better.

I do this all the time but don't feel 100% about it, always hesitate.
If I wear a navy dress then I wear navy shoes. If navy tights the reverse. I feel like the tights should be "framed" by a same colour block.

Great thread though OP, one of life's big questions for me

With black shoes. VB came up first on pin search, sure there are others too.

I like navy and black, but the tights can be a bit lighter. Not opaque black.

Ah - just posted that same pic on the other thread. I think she looks great.

Great minds Remus! I love the look, the black bag and shoes look good too.

VB in flats! That's a first.

Ha yes it says stop press VB in flats

Much better than some of those platform ones.

Yes

I'm doing it now, navy daisy print dress, black tights, silver flats and silver grey cardi.

No.

No!

Never mix navy and black, looks badly put together imho.

Well, my navy dress has a black collar, so it's a Yes from me!

Navy and black used to be a fashion taboo (just ask my mother) but mixing them became trendy a few years ago. Now it's perfectly fine. I think black and brown went through a similar change recently.

Some of these changes make fashion history - I always think of YSL when I see a fuchsia and red outfit.

I know it's accepted by those in the fashion know but I still can't bring myself to mix black and navy.

I bet VB has had bunion surgery

Squoosh my mother nearly fainted when I mixed blue and green
I agree near-black navy worn with black can look a bit dingy so the way to do it is to pick shades that are a bit apart.
