Tights dilemma

13 replies

I'm wearing this green knee length dress at a wedding next week, with green slingback heels. What tights - nude ones? Black will be too heavy looking won't they - or what about sheer black - are they back in fashion - I'm having 80s "barely black" flashbacks!

Yeah, sheer Heist do some great nudes

Sheer Matt tights

Sheer black, 30d or below

I would so be tempted to go for the full 80s flashback and wear sheer black with dots on.
I love the dress!

Thanks all! £15 dress from Asos.
Am I right in thinking sheer black tights are having a moment?

I think nude if the shoes are green. I like the idea of black sheer polka dot ones too, but only if the shoes are black.

Just coming on to say I remember the sheer black tights of the 80s so thanks for that!

I think go for them plus black shoes.

BaronessBomburst · 18/11/2023 18:18

Yes, that's a good point about nude being better if the shoes are green.

Theblacksheepandme · 19/11/2023 08:40

Definitely not nude. Sheer black but you'll have to rethink the shoes and go black shoes. I really like the polka dot tights idea too. Was thinking this when I saw the dress.

I think nude tights and green shoes is better than having to wear black shoes just to wear sheer black tights!

The only people I see wearing nude tights where I'm from are OAP's.

NashvilleQueen · 19/11/2023 10:10

Well I wouldn't wear them myself either and I'd just go with bare legs but the OP's dilemma was about tights and not shoes!

BaronessBomburst · 22/11/2023 15:39

Well, if you really wanted to go for an 80's vibe, you could wear cream or white polkadot tights. Then you could still wear the green shoes.
