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?

Lovely dress btw.
Boden got me too with their incessant sale emails. I got some navy velvet trousers.

Lovely dress OP. I think red tights would look clownish. A red belt would be lovely.

I would wear navy or nude tights.

Thanks, I don’t think red tights would work either

I'd say black opaques .... or navy ... not red

Natural tights

Bright red tights 👍

Navy for winter, then nude from April onwards. I like the idea of a red belt too.

Navy opaque

I would wear grey opaques. M&S Autograph 40 denier cotton grey opaques are excellent and work well with navy.

Ooh grey tights, I haven’t worn them since school 😱

It depends what look you want Op- but all those saying red tights Hmm- I really can't imagine that looking at all chic or fashionable- especially with navy shoes which are alway difficult to wear without looking old fashioned. I'd probably stick to black tights and boots unless you have a beautiful pi of navy boots already- then I'd go with navy tights.

Navy opaques! I hardly wear any black (I have one pair of trousers) and no black shoes. I wear mainly navy or grey marl tights through winter with mainly dark brown, grey or navy (patent) shoes. M&S have nice navy opaques you need to make sure the shade is right. I have some other navy tights from either Asda or Sainos which are a bit lighter.
