These shoes with tights? Old fashioned?

[BeenChangedForGood]

Trying to get sorted for a Christmas party night with colleagues.

Have a black embellished velvet dress that sits a couple of inches above the knee that I’ve only worn once so hoping to rewear that. I don’t like bare legs or nude tights so I was thinking sheet black tights and some kind of closed toe heels. Do these shoes look old fashioned? I’m 35, have no idea what’s in style anymore and haven’t been “out out” since last Christmas 🤣🤣
Help a girl out here!

They do look dated, yes. Have a look at Esska.

They're fine, but a little boring.

I think they look lovely.

The shoes are fine but the sheer black tights with them would look dated

Or don’t because OP is looking at spending under £30 and anything from there is going to be ~£170??

They’re fine. Maybe a little safe but that’s not a bad thing because sounds like the dress is the statement and your feet will thank you for the mid height block heel.

Yes, they do look dated and black sheer black tights won’t help

Monsoon Sometimes have good ESSKA style shoes with block heel and a bit of a platform that would fit the bill and look good with tights, worth a look OP.

You need a smaller heel and either a square or pointier toe. They look kind of boring tbh. And aging.

I’m 35 too and I think they’re lovely 🤷🏼‍♀️

The shoes aren't the best IMO.

If I had those shoes or similar, I'd wear a nude tights only- black, even sheer black, would be dreadful. Almost akin to wearing peep toe shoes or sandals with tights sticking out the toe end! 😬

I like them

Sheer black tights are on trend, not dated!

Exactly!!!

Not with those shoes though!

I love them.

I wonder if anyone will notice your shoes wear what you want

The shoes are old fashioned but sheer black tights are very ‘in’. Wearing tights with heeled sandles is acceptable too. ASOS have lots of choice at cheaper prices.

I don’t think the shoes are a great choice but sheer black tights look great.

Look at the boots version of that shoe, I wear those with tights and dresses

i always think they are a bit Pat Butcher.

I've got those shoes! Never worn them so if you're a size 4 make me an offer 😁

They do look a bit tame and old fashioned to me, though no one’s going to notice after their second drink.

If it matters to you have a look at Zara to get an idea of what’s fashionable this season:

(They have a sale on, too.)

I have no idea what's in fashion, I'm afraid. I looked at Esska - they seem to be all chunky heels. Zara is full of tiny pencil thin heels that you won't be able to do much in. Both of them also have lots of flats on their websites. I say if you like the shoes you found and they're comfortable and make you feel good, then 100% go for it!

The shoes alone are ok but if you were to put them with black tights they’d age you

I’m 39 and they would look
awful with black tights.
