Hi lovelies
it’s my birthday night out tonight, 30 of us doing cocktails, dinner and dancing.

here’s the dress and shoes I’m wearing.

what colour tights?

navy or light tan?
I have fairly chunky calves and the dress is mid thigh on me so I was thinking navy opaques but would that look horrible with silver sparkly shoes?

don’t have any navy party shoes

Not dark tights. Or could you go without tights?

StarlightLady · 19/11/2022 12:07

Navy if you are going for opaques. Nude if you are doing sheer.

Mumblechum0 · 19/11/2022 12:19

Hmm, 2 different opinions! Still undecided.....

I'd definitely go with nude/light tan tights with the outfit.

Happy birthday!

BaronessBomburst · 19/11/2022 12:25

Nude, definitely

Mumblechum0 · 19/11/2022 12:25

Thanks everyone. Off to John Lewis. The reason I was thinking navy was because I have fat legs but the dark legs/light shoe combo always makes me think of transvestites for some reason.

Navy only if you want to look like Minnie Mouse with those shoes.
Bare legs or nude tights

Greysanatomyfan · 19/11/2022 12:56

Good not navy opaqeus, it would be a look though 😂 thin nude or bare leg.

RosesAndHellebores · 19/11/2022 12:59

Nude. Or find a darker pair of shoes.

fannyfartlet · 19/11/2022 13:00

As others have said, nude or none.

Livingonjuice · 19/11/2022 13:03

Nude fishnets?

Mumblechum0 · 19/11/2022 13:17

I was going to say nude too. Lovely dress.

gogohmm · 19/11/2022 13:48

Nude/tan/flesh coloured, depending on your flesh tone basically.

Salacia · 19/11/2022 13:55

That’s a lovely dress - have a great night!

Deathraystare · 19/11/2022 18:13

Well, now you are set. Enjoy your birthday!!!!

Craftycorvid · 20/11/2022 17:03

Happy Birthday! How about ranging out completely with hot pink or teal? I think navy is lovely but could look a bit plain for a night out.
