If no, what do you wear instead?

You're right. I wouldn't describe the dress that VB is wearing in that photo as being a true navy. It looks quite light when compared with the black tights.

Oh and blue and green look great together!

Twinklestein · 22/02/2015 15:50

Definitely no, just don't like it. Not even VB, sorry.

Tbh, anything that is seen to be, 'A rule' makes me go out of my way to break it.

Twinklestein · 22/02/2015 15:53

I don't think it's a rule, just personal taste.

Those tights are dark grey aren't they

Not the best navy and black but only tights pic I could find.

It's too light. Solid navy and it probably helps if the fabric is good quality.

Yes it's fine Grin

BallroomWithNoBalls · 22/02/2015 22:28

I love that pic of VB, I channel that look a lot, and I say yes.

louwn · 23/02/2015 07:07

Yes - I adore navy and black together, but I may be weird.

Floisme · 23/02/2015 07:24

I prefer grey tights. But I wear black as little as possible.

TheChickenSituation · 23/02/2015 07:39

Oh crikey. I hate black opaques. People seem to think they go with everything.

TheGirlFromIpanema · 23/02/2015 07:41

I am another navy and black/dark grey tights wearer and I think it can look really smart for work Smile

dreamcometrue · 23/02/2015 07:50

Yes. Teamed with black shoes so the black is continuous.

MilkshakeMonkey · 23/02/2015 09:53

I'm doing this right now so....yes!

Fine denier, say 10, is ok, but not thick tights.

For thick tights grey is best.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/02/2015 20:02

I only wear grey tights with grey or black. I think they can have a bit of a look of the institution about them if not careful.
