Interesting. We had virtually the same conversation last season! Shiny has dark burgundy boots that she wears with dark burgundy tights/hose. The combination looks terrific. Sophisticated, subtle, polished, age appropriate and fun. Perfect for our Shiny who is in her mid 40’s, or thereabouts.
Antje posted an outfit and wore subtle, deep red & black diamond checked hose with a tailored look. It worked for Antje’s funky style. It was borderline, but even I felt it worked because Antje actually pulls off things like that, AND it was a fairly sophistocated outfit. Antje is over 40. Do you remember those outfits Maya, Jean and Tanya?
I guess what I am trying to say in that subtle, dark rich coloured hose after a certain age can look great. And I think hose looks better than tights. It’s the “too young” juvenile styles in bright colours that I feel don’t work when you’re older. Too costume like. I hope that makes sense.
The concept also works really well if you’re wearing coloured boots. Dark green hose will look fantastic with dark green boots or pumps. I hope I don’t sound obtuse.
Maya and Ele, you are plenty young to sport whatever looks you want.
