Green dress, tan boots. What colour tights?

Would you wear black or navy opaques with a green jersey dress and tan ankle boots? .

Thanks.

Navy.

Holidayshopping · 02/03/2019 15:44

Definitely black. I think navy tights look odd in general though so would never own any!

Tootrousers · 02/03/2019 15:46

Not navy imo. There’s no need to add another colour when you already have 2. I’d do black unless the green is quite light.

CountFosco · 02/03/2019 15:48

Black tights and boots I'd say.

Hmmm, good point, I was assuming a forest green. A lighter green would require nude tights I think, especially with tan boots.

It's a forest green. I don't have black ankle boots unfortunately.

Charcoal grey.

CinammonPorridge · 02/03/2019 15:56

For a dark green, either navy or black would work. For brown boots, only navy would work.

similar

I don't like black and tan combination and never wear it so I would wear brown tights. Or navy - but never black.

NC4Now · 02/03/2019 16:41

I love this colour combo.

Not black!

Dark grey or chocolate brown.

mynameiscalypso · 02/03/2019 17:05

I love the black/tan combo myself. Not a fan of coloured tights at all.

NC4Now · 02/03/2019 17:40

I bet you’re glad you posted OP Grin

Ninkaninus · 02/03/2019 17:41

I would wear natural or tan tights, tbh. I don’t like the look of dark tights with tan footwear, and I think any colour added would detract from the loveliness of the forest green.

Notcontent · 02/03/2019 18:03

What about forest green tights?

PurpleGlitter1983 · 02/03/2019 18:09

Nude or sherry.

Ninkaninus · 02/03/2019 18:25

Noooooo please don’t do green tights - you will be way too close to Robin Hood, men in tights territory! Or like the tree or plant in the school play!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 02/03/2019 18:26

Mustard! I love my mustard tights and my green dresses.

Pinkkahori · 02/03/2019 18:50

Ooh, controversial!
I tried brown tights but definite tree vibe with that combo.
I'very seen some black boots I like so I think I'll buy those and go for the safe option.

SlipperOrchid · 02/03/2019 19:27

Can you post the black boots please OP?

I can never find nice black ankle boots!

CountFosco · 02/03/2019 19:38

I love that green dress, grey tights and tan boots combination actually. I think tan boots are sometimes the safe option whereas that look is quite fresh.

Bluesheep8 · 03/03/2019 07:17

Definitely charcoal grey tights. Or burgundy.

anniehm · 03/03/2019 07:55

Nude thin though thick black opaque with dark tan looks ok in winter

Ploppymoodypants · 03/03/2019 07:58

Oh yes mustard. I love my mustard tights and get loads of compliments about them
