Tights with black dress

Black dress with tights

Having a little black dress in your closet has become a must, as it is still the classic for cocktail parties, dates and evening events, as it is appropriate and versatile. Adds a touch of sophistication to your entire look.

The little black dress or LBD as it is also known (or petite robe noire if you like French) was popularized by Coco Chanel more than 100 years ago  and was a success because it made women look elegant with a minimum of effort, reflecting values as diverse as independence, resistance, glamour and respect.

Ok, black dress is the ultimate, but, to look really great we can think about combining it with other accessories that will help us stand out from the crowd. For this, tights are the perfect choice.

How to wear a little black dress with tights

Tights not only help us look great at any event but also allow us to wear our black dresses even in the harsh winter.

Tights add texture and color to your legs making them stand out, through a wise choice between thickness, pattern and above all colors.

When it comes to tights, there are so many options to choose from.

More and more the limits fashion imposes on wearing tights are shrinking. They are always changing and that allows us to experiment without fear. However, a little order is still necessary to look impeccable and cared for.

 

One point we always make when we talk about tights: buy the best quality tights possible, don't save money on that, it's not worth it.

If the weather is cold it is better to wear tights of higher density, 40 denier or more, although for this you should also take into account other things, such as the material of your dress as well as other accessories. Tights with 20 denier will surely do nothing to protect you from the cold. Keep this in mind.

Although it may sound strange to you, wearing tights with open-toed shoes is not taboo. No one is going to put you in jail for that. Just try to do it while avoiding showing the seams or the reinforced toes of the tights. And remember to wear always high heels.

As for patterned stockings, I think it goes without saying that their color should match the color of the dress, trying to make them both the same shade.

What color tights to wear with black dress

Sheer black tights are the most commonly used color when it comes to wearing black dresses. Sheer black hose with dress, especially with you little black dress, look stunning, even more with the right shoes,  like a pair of stiletto heels or black pumps.

Opaque tights are an option to seriously consider when the weather is too chilly as sheer tights will do little to keep you warm. These tights are easy to match with almost any type of dress. If you want to add elegance to the outfit remember to wear black pumps or even booties.

Ultra sheer nude stockings are another option to wear with your black dress. With these tights you get a smoother look to your legs and by combining them with a little black dress you will get a leg lengthening effect that you can amplify by wearing black stilettos to show off slimmer legs.
