I’ve just bought a French navy dress with a red pattern and I’m thinking of wearing it with tan ankle boots. What colour tights would look best?

Natural.

curlytops21 · 19/01/2020 14:31

Navy opaque tights.

RockyRoadster · 19/01/2020 14:48

Any other votes for either of those?

Any chance of a a pic, because. IMO it depends how much red and his much navy.

Id say red with navy shoes. That's if you're confident with colourful tights.
If not opaque are good idea.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 19/01/2020 16:10

If it were me id wear.
Red tights
Blue shoes
Red bag
Either gold or silver nail polish
Red earrings

Nude or navy. But I'd wear the navy tights with navy shoes or boots that are polished regularly with navy polish so they are nice and dark.

RockyRoadster · 19/01/2020 16:15

I was hoping to not have to buy new shoes! I’ve got tan or black ankle boots and black shoes. Or long black boots but the heels are a bit high

Depends on the length and bottom of the dress and style of boots. Probably navy opaque.

Comeonbabyyay · 19/01/2020 16:18

With so much navy I would wear red tights

RockyRoadster · 19/01/2020 16:18

Length just below the knees

There's a few options there OP. I just can't imagine any situation ever where nude tights and tan ankle boots would look OK.

That aside, with the style of dress you've posted - which looks fab! - I would say the tights should be opaque whatever colour you choose.

I think that if you want to lift the dress then a red leather belt would be much classier.

homemadecommunistrussia · 19/01/2020 16:48

I would go with the tan boots and navy tights.

RockyRoadster · 19/01/2020 17:12

Thanks all, I’m leaning towards navy opaques with my tan boots

OP posts:
BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 19/01/2020 17:13

Navy.

But the dress looks more purple than navy.

RockyRoadster · 19/01/2020 17:18

It’s French navy as stated in my opening post

OP posts:
Chocolatedaim · 19/01/2020 17:19

Navy tights definitely

twosoups1972 · 19/01/2020 17:49

I wouldn’t be brave enough for red tights so would probably wear navy.

Although I also think black opaques are ok with everything!

Lovely dress OP, where’s it from?

tinierclanger · 19/01/2020 17:51

Navy tights with the tan boots

pleasenomorechocolates · 19/01/2020 17:55

Same as twosoups1972 I know some people think it’s a huge fashion crime but I wear black opaques with almost everything

RockyRoadster · 19/01/2020 17:59

The dress is from Boden, in the sale

OP posts:
CuckooCuckooClock · 19/01/2020 18:00

I’d wear navy tights.
On that note - can anyone recommend some nice navy opaques?
