can you please post any that you find? I really like this look but now that Iwantto start playing around with it (finally getting to be cool enough!), I can't find examples! I bought some cool tights, but now I don't know what to wear them under.
I wear tights all winter long, both to work and out on weekends.
My office is pretty conservative so for work I usually stick to solid black tights and a more subdued patterns - herringbone, tiny polka dots, ribbed and I'll wear tightly woven fishnets if the rest of my outfit is really conservative (usually I layer black fishnets over black or gray tights). I tend to match my tights to either my skirt or my shoes - with most of my colored skirts I stick to black tights (solid if the skirt is patterned or the shoes have a lot going on, textured if my skirt and shoes are plain) and with my gray pencil skirt I either wear gray or black tights.
Outside of work I have a lot of crazy patterned and colored tights. I like to wear brightly colored tights with short fitted skirts and knee high boots so only a few inches of the tights are visible. With patterned tights I think some sort of flared skirt (circle, A-line, etc) paired with flats looks adorable. You could also wear tights with cropped pants and heels.
I'm having trouble finding good examples on the web but here is what I've come up with so far.
........................Ugh this picture is in two parts and I can't get it to line up.
The Anthro catalogs and BR site have a outfits with tights but I can't post the pictures.
I really want to try fishnets with cropped pants and peep toe shoes but I'm still scared...
One way you can tone down the fishnets is to wear black fishnets over a pair of solid tights. Like black fishnets over gray tights like cc suggested. I do this for work because fishnets alone would attract unwanted attention in my office.
Oh my gosh, you ladies have me drooling over some of those outfits! I'm not one to wear tights usually (if it's cold I wear pants cuz I'm a wus and I'll freeze) but now you ladies have me wanting to try some tights out! I don't think I have any in my wardrobe...what should I start with?
I'm thinking black, grey, and a nude fishnet...do you ladies think those would be good for starter pairs? I'm so clueless about this, but now I really want to play with tights!
