What colour tights & shoes with navy dress?

I got a lovely navy dress for Christmas. I think navy tights and shoes will be a bit blah with it. I've purple/aubergine tights and loafers that will work in winter and silver shoes for bare legged summer wear, but any ideas for other colours?

Need a link to the dress!

Great tights are good with navy dresses, if you want to avoid cabin crew styleee navy with navy.

Can't find a decent picture online. This is it in grey. It's much nicer in real life.

Yes, that's my fear! Grey tights is a good idea. What colour shoes would you do? I have a pair of really nice chunky not quite biker boots that I think would work with black tights.

I don't really wear red, but I like the idea of navy tights and contrasting shoes

I would wear black tights with navy rather than navy tights.

sonjadog · 25/12/2023 20:06

I wear coloured tights with navy, or grey ones.

declutteringmymind · 25/12/2023 20:06

A pale gold?

Knee high boots if you're mainly outdoors?

DottyPencil · 25/12/2023 20:08

Black and navy are good together

BungleandGeorge · 25/12/2023 20:10

My young one would were thin ish black tights probably with chunky black shoes/ boots. Or a lacy tight. I think that’s probably the most fashionable option. I’m not generally keen on the opaque with contrasting bright shoes look. Coloured tights is very variable can look good but also quite hard to pull off. I’d be tempted to go for a patterned tight with navy or black shoes or boots.

BungleandGeorge · 25/12/2023 20:11

High denier nude tights under fishnets or similar is popular too

Loafbeginsat60 · 25/12/2023 20:25

Teal with black boots?

Maybe depends on what age you are tho. Im 43 and borderline too old for this now IMO

Mustard yellow for the quirky vibe, grey is a good combo too.
But I'm usually wearing black ones.

PiddleOfPuppies · 25/12/2023 20:34

I'm wearing thick mustard tights with a navy knitted dress today. I don't need footwear as I'm indoors but if we went out, I'd wear navy suede ankle boots.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 25/12/2023 20:36

A dress that was navy and had black stripes (I think) had a coral red stripe on it so you could try that too but probably sheer opaque ones if they do them.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 25/12/2023 20:37

@cornflower21 @PiddleOfPuppies I’ve got a navy knitted dress with mustard on it, where are your tights from please?

Snugglemonkey · 25/12/2023 20:56

I wear hot pink, teal or mustard tights with my navy dress.

PiddleOfPuppies · 25/12/2023 21:04

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain Mine were from Fatface last year - I don't know if they've got them this year but White Stuff had some last time I looked.

It is the Culture Antoinette dress. I got it in a small boutique in Dublin which may not be helpful!

Thanks everyone for so many good ideas. I found a lovely pair of navy and cream brogues in a sale that would work for most of the year so I might treat myself to them as a starting point.

I think I’ve found it. I’m now wondering if I prefer the grey you posted. How does it fit?

Nice dress!
