Anyone still wear tights with dresses in winter?

[LostInClothes]

I haven't seen much of it out and about for years, my brain can't picture it as easily now!
I do love a warm jersey dress in colder months although a few are now retired at the back of wardrobe. Perhaps they don't work as well with modern accessories, etc?

I started wearing cord trousers mostly in winter but am getting a bit bored.

Of course - and so do lots of people where I work.

A favourite winter work outfit for me is a mini jumper dress and black tights. Don’t give a fuck if it’s a bit (or even a lot) dated.

I read somewhere recently that pencil skirts are supposed to be on the way back.

Dress or skirt and jumper , tights and boots are my winter favourites

Nah, I hate tights. Dresses are ok if they are loose floaty summer ones with bare legs but not otherwise.

So what colour tights are people wearing?

I WFH so don't need any kind of uniform, but I do walk a lot, so would preefer an outfit that would be easy to match a coat to!

Same here, all ages, always flats- ballet pumps, Mary Janes, brogues, loafers and boots.

Depends on my outfit I have a drawer of them.

For darks I'll do dark green or brown or sometimes navy but with caution so it doesn't look school uniform.

I have bright colours too

The colours will depend on your wardrobe pallet. I don't like very muted or "muddy" colours so I have no teals or mustards or rusty oranges or burgundy, but if they're the kind of colours you like generally then get that type of colour for tights

Never chose your lengths by what's trending

It's your shape not what's in that'll make you look good or bad in different lengths.

I will never look good in longer dresses or skirts.

I'll always go for somewhere between a mini and knee length max

No matter how on trend a long skirt is I'll never pull it off.

I wear black/coloured opaque a in winter, but do tend to favour these with boots because I’m getting a bit fed up with baggy/wrinkly bits around my ankles. I clear need better tights

No, I don’t. Haven’t done for at least 5 years.

I absolutely love mini jumper dresses and warm tights in Autumn/Winter! So cosy, more comfortable and warm than trousers. New Look usually have a good selection of affordable options.

Yes, but not opaque. The fully black ones with some boots and a jumper dress or work dress.

Black, navy, grey, green, burgundy, purple red.

Sorry, i meant those kind of thick, wool tights not semi transparent!

I wear tights for warmth, but I don't love the look. TBH you wouldn't see much of them, as if I'm wearing a dress in tights weather, I'd have knee length boots on.

Where I am there's loads of visible ankle socks, with all shoe types. I love it- the bare ankle look looks a bit daft to me, especially when it's cold

That's what I meant too.

That’s literally what opaque means - not see through.

yes i am mixed up, forgetting my deniers!

Where are people getting their woolly tights from, and do they bunch around the ankles too? Yes, I am obsessed with the ankle thing.

I do. All the time.

Yes I do sometimes wear tights with dresses, it depends on the length of the dress

I wear a lot of Lady V Lyra dresses with long boots so can get away with long knee length socks

M&S sell woolly tights, usually in black/navy/grey. Also White Stuff if you want colours.

I wear black or grey opaques all the time!

And Asda, Sainsbury's and Boots

What about fabrics/pattern?
I am finding a lot of jersey florals and not much else..
