What tights are we all meant to be wearing? Is it opaque? Anyone got any links?

[used2bthin]

Got a black dress just above the knee. Need to make it look more fashionable for a night out, not sure if I dare do coloured tights but would black opaque be ok? With black patent heels? Would have to have some green jewelery or something to brighten it up too I think?

dark purple, navy or very dark grey? seems a shame to do entirely black. how about these and support too.

i wouldn't wear tights or skirts for years now i love the latest fashion tights with zig-zags,squares,lace,diamonds etc.
got some in lidl
this week and they are lovely.
its so nice to have something a bit different.

these are nice

wow i have just revisited that link and they are a bit expensive. that site is generally good though.

m&s have some very good ones and also you might be better in brown (warm) rather than the blue or grey (cool). but i stand by my non-black advice. m&s also have lovely silver or gold tights but it might be too much contrast with black shoes and dress and green jewellery.

mine spendy not ggs.

i ordered those red ones and sent them back unopened. they are relaly bright, would look like an accident had occured.

I have been swanning around in some bright purple opaques from M&S with a dark grey dress - looks fab. Go for it!

If you are going out, I wouldn't wear opaques, go sheer, and don't wear black, it's too harsh. Nearly black are better, or M&S used to do a range of skintone colours, there was a very deep brown one, that was incredibly flattering to the leg.

I have the red M&S ones and yeah they are bright, think the ending of Carrie.

topshop teal ones would look fab with a black dress

Teal or plum wool ones are great, they're my favorite thing. Have to be wool for my though.

Wow only just seen all the responses, thanks, my legs aren't TOO bad but am not sure I'm brave enough for coloured tights. Was also thinking I may feel a bit too dreary in head to toe black though... Topshop do teal ones you say? Will pop in and get some tomorrow in that case and some black in case I get scared lol! So opaque is the thick slightly shiny ones?

Primark do teal tights for £1

oh wow thanks Maidamess will look in there before toposhop tomorrow. Can look for some bright jewellery there too...

On this morning this week they were showing christmas dresses, one of the models was wearing a pair of black fishnets with red tights underneath - thought it look quite nice.

Ooh like the layering tights idea, will depend where we are going I guess as might get hot. Ok thanks naughtynoonoo not shiny! I didnt manage to look in town today as had DD with me and predictably it was manic, anyone seen any in next, new look or select?(all we have got near me can't face town agai)
