What colour of tights with brown boots?

Now that I feels truly like autumn I am pondering a question the plagues me every year. What colour is tights are correct to wear with brown boots?
I wear black and I know this isn’t right and I do sometimes think it looks odd but worried that other colours might look a bit frumpy.
What do you advise so I stop having to think about it every single day!

What colour is your skirt? I can see olive green, spruce green, navy or grey all looking good with brown, depending on what you’re wearing with them. I used to wear brown tights but I think there’s not much brown about still so that might look a bit 2005.

I would say navy or grey, too. Black would work depending on the brown, very dark or tan? Maybe burgundy/plum too.

I have various skirts and dresses that I would like to wear with them. Navy and green mainly.
I like the sound of grey I think. My boots are mid brown but I suppose nearer tan.

I think black tights look good with any colour boots! But then again maybe that’s more because I really dislike any other colours in tights other than black or nude...

See, I would stick with black tights as I really think other colours aren't very flattering.

MoltonSilver · 25/09/2018 18:22

I've tried different coloured tights but I can't make anything other than black work.

Black!

BIWI · 25/09/2018 18:32

Brown for me. But having said that, finding brown tights is really difficult!

shiningstar2 · 25/09/2018 18:59

depends on what else you are wearing. Black tights go great with most autumn coloured dresses and skirts so i would say probably match the tights to the outfit with brown boots as a stand alone focal point.

Beige or light brown patterned woollen tights

Just not grey please. Brown and grey: nooooo!
(But people do it)

BIWI · 25/09/2018 19:31

Definitely brown! Suits my skin colouring much better than black. \

TheWombat · 25/09/2018 19:36

I wear brown or navy depending on the rest of the outfit..

Brown tights depending on skirts

PrincessTwilightStoleMyToddler · 25/09/2018 19:42

I’ve previously gone for grey (like a charcoally dark grey), olive, plum, burgundy and burnt orange. The first two look quite grown up and autumnal. The final three make me look like a poor cariacature of a hippy drama or art teacher. That might have something to do with my inelegant short legs or my sensible flat boots...

AuldAlliance · 25/09/2018 19:54

Black, navy or deep, charcoal grey.

Seabiscuit1 · 25/09/2018 20:29

I’m surprised so many people as saying black is ok. I thought I was committing a cardinal sin. I might just stick to my black.

I usually wear navy or burgundy tights with brown boots.

Lifeismorethanamerrygoround · 25/09/2018 23:50

Is it best to match the tights to your skirt/dress colour, or your shoes?

quirkychick · 26/09/2018 08:25

I would think black with very dark brown, especially if slightly sheer/patterned or a dark brown would go, I'm think of a pair of brown black micro fishnets I once had. But I would probably go charcoal grey, as that's what I've got.
