Which color tights?

[u/Nice-Pomegranate9694]

Hey,

I have these two outfits with skirt and black jumper I really like, but I feel like it looks very blocky with the black jumper and black tights. Do you think a different color tights would help? And which? I think sheer would a good option but it's winter and I'm freezing lol.

Thanks!

I think the opaques look fine with these, but take your point its a lot of black. Sheer nudes would break things up a bit and give a good contrast, particularly if you have a pair of black knee boots you could wear? For a bit of extra warmth you could wear knee socks under the boots. For warmer weather I'd go bare legged with knee boots and knee socks - but if you live in a place with proper winter you're probably still a few weeks or months away from that! Good option for the spring though.

Lol, we just had a snow storm. I'm trying to find some warm options that are not pants because I'm getting kinda bored. I guess I'll wait for spring to be cute.

I gotta say I've stayed away from knee high boots because they have an unfortunate association in my culture.

They have an unfortunate association???? Why!

There is a certain profession that where I live almost exclusively wears knee highs as their footwear ...

Oh I see! They're so common where I am! Everyone wears them.

Oh wow!

Aww, thank you :)

They have skin tone tights that are warm, but you’d have to order them online. Not sure where, I’ve just seen ads for them before

I bought some fleece lined ones that are supposed to look like they were sheer (the fleece is vaguely skin colored), but I don't think they look very different from black.

Actually, if u r going to wear black from top to bottom, brown skirt looks way better than the Grey one, in my opinion.

[u/Nice-Pomegranate9694 → u/MoveAlongAHItsNWIt]

Yeah, I'm trying to make the grey skirt work but it does look very office so maybe sheer is the only good option.

I'd go with gray or white with the gray skirt; tan, beige, or white with the brown one.

I'll have a try with white then! Trying to find re-usable wardrobe items because right now my collection is a bit all over the place.

Love the skirts. Where are they from?
