Navy dungaree dress - what colour tights?

21 replies

Bought a lovely navy dungaree dress, sits above the knee, I think I will be wearing it with a long sleeved white and navy pinstriped t-shirt.

I have a choice of chocolate brown mid calf boots or burgundy mid calf boots (both London Fly.)

What colour tights? And with which boots?

I'd be boring and wear it with navy tights, with either pair of boots. I have a bright red pair of Flys, and wear them with navy striped top, denim pinafore and thick navy tights. It looks nice.

Mustard or red or navy if you don't want to stand out

Berry red Smile

Mustard or red would look nice. I don't know if navy might have slight shades of school uniform? You'd have to try it and see Smile

When I was really cold a couple of years back, I used to put a pair of really bright tights (purple or blue) under black ones which gave quite a nice effect. Bit more subtle than going straight for the coloured ones, meant I could get away with them for work (it wasn't a hugely formal workplace mind you).

Sounds like a nice dress, where was it from if you don't mind me asking?

Burgundy / berry

Can l ask where the navy dungaree dress is from as it sounds lovely x

MonkeyDontTalk · 16/09/2017 21:28

Sorry for the late reply, I was helping with homework.

The dress is Redherring in Debenhams and a bargain at £29. I am quite chesty and this dress helps to hide the norks. They also have it in burgundy, and I was severely tempted but will see how the navy one washes and dries.

I am not very daring, so navy tights it is. Although berry/red tights are tempting. I may do that if I team it with a berry/red top.

Thank you for all your help.

Lovely dress. Id say red navy or yellow

MunchyMunchkin · 16/09/2017 21:32

I wear grey woollen tights with mine.

MonkeyDontTalk · 16/09/2017 21:41

Oooh, grey, I hadn't considered grey. Although actually with my legs elephant does spring to mind Grin

Will go shopping for some knitted tights. I might get brave and wear some daring colour on my legs.

Try the cable knit ones, surprisingly slimming on the legs.

MonkeyDontTalk · 16/09/2017 22:02

Excellent, will try cable knit. Thank you.

I'd wear brown

PolkadottyRose · 17/09/2017 05:19

Primark cable knitted tights are excellent..come in navy, cream, grey, Brown and black. A bargainous £3.50.

WanderingTrolley1 · 17/09/2017 06:13

Grey or brown.

Housewife2010 · 17/09/2017 07:21

Isn't that a pinafore?

chaplin1409 · 17/09/2017 07:30

Where abouts do people buy their coloured cable knit tights from? I can find navy, black, grey and burgundy but fancy different colours or patterns. I am so glad tight season is here 😃

MonkeyDontTalk · 17/09/2017 08:15

Housewife maybe it's my age, I would consider anything with straps over the shoulder with either press studs or with a hook over fastener that attaches to a bib front to be a dungaree/dungaree dress.

A pinafore dress to me is what young school girls where, basically a sleeveless dress usually with a zip down the front. But then I am a child of the 70's.

Polka will try Primark. Thanks.

chaplin I love tights, ridiculous excuse to cover my legs without wearing skinny jeans.

Primark tights here as well.

laketaupo · 18/09/2017 21:18

Just bought this for when I finish being pregnant (9 weeks to go 🙄)

NearlyChristmasNow · 19/09/2017 07:17

I saw that dress in Debenham's - it's gorgeous.
