I’ve been wearing navy tights and navy ankle boots but it’s far too much blue. What’s the alternatives?

Black looks fine IMO

@julesse

Skin tone tights and brown boots? I think brown and navy work really well together.
Me too. My first thought was brown

I wear my brown knee high boots with navy opaque tights but somehow my brown ankle boots and navy tights don’t look right with my navy dresses Confused Not sure if it’s because I’m very short anyway that it makes me lol like my legs have been cut off?

Navy tights and brown boots

SirChenjins · 11/09/2021 22:23

Sorry, cross post. Maybe black tights and black
boots in that case?

Don't wear navy tights with a navy dress, it'll look weird. In fact, I think navy tights are pretty bad in most situations. Black opaque or skin colour are really the only acceptable options IMO. And wear black or brown boots with either combination. Navy again would would strange.

babouchette · 11/09/2021 22:25

Black and black. I personally wouldn't wear navy with brown.

drizzleabit · 11/09/2021 22:28

Brown boots. Navy and brown will make you look very put together and stylish.

SirChenjins · 11/09/2021 22:28

Navy and black? Or navy, black and brown? Really? Confused

Grey tights, brown boots. I love grey tights atm - softer than black.

drizzleabit · 11/09/2021 22:32

What length is the dress? Could you wear skin colour/neutral tights? That's what I would probably wear. Would look good with ankle or knee length boots.

mynameiscalypso · 11/09/2021 22:33

Definitely navy and black. It's one of my favourite combinations and I think it always looks so chic.

PiddleOfPuppies · 11/09/2021 22:33

I wear grey tights with a navy dress and navy suede boots. I find all navy a bit much. In the colder weather I wear thick patterned grey or maroon tights from H&M, but I'm not the snappiest dresser!

SirChenjins · 11/09/2021 22:33

Grey tights sound good. Would they would with brown ankle boots?

I have to be really careful with ankle boots as I have skinny ankles and can look like I’m wearing two buckets on my feet if they’re not fairly tight round my ankles.

Ankle boots and dresses/skirts not a vibe, IMO

Titsywoo · 11/09/2021 22:35

Burgundy tights and brown boots

Titsywoo · 11/09/2021 22:35

or maybe black boots actually

SirChenjins · 11/09/2021 22:36

I’m going to try out the navy dress/black tights &boots combo - I’ve always thought the 2 wouldn’t go together.

You can tell I don’t take much notice of what other women wear - I’m clueless Grin

I wear navy boots and coloured tights - often dark orange, maroon or grey.

SunSeaSurfGin · 11/09/2021 22:38

Brown boots then burgundy black or blue tights depending what's clean. Think I tend to wear black tights though. But in this weather/ time of year I'd be tempered to wear sock and no tights.

SocksAndTheCity · 11/09/2021 22:39

They're definitely not going to be to everyone's taste (and they're hideously expensive; I had a 20% off code) but I've been wearing these:

with my (short) navy dress and my oxblood DMs and I love them Smile.

colouringindoors · 11/09/2021 22:42

Brown boots def. Black always deadens the colour it's with.

Wow, what an amazing outfit. You have style!
