What color tights or hose would you wear with these boots?

I'm not sure what to pair with them and it's getting cool enough that I need to add tights to be able to wear my skirts and boots now. Thanks!

Good question-- I was wondering lately if you are always supposed to match tights to the boots or if you can match tights to the skirt. Most brown tights are a dark brown and might be too dark for those boots and skirt. Hopefully someone else will have a good suggestion. And I love that outfit!

Dani, are you asking for the boots or the outfit? I think shades of brown anywhere from dark cream to chocolate will work with the boots. I'm not sure what color tights to bridge the mustard and the brown leather. I'd think you'd have to try different shades of brown next to the yellow to make sure the tights are the right shade.

Wonder if grey might work...

In general , I'd match tights either to skirt or boots, but in this case I'd go for some brown shade similar to boots. Another option would be real (or fake) nude fishnets.

My first thought without reading any response was to go with a brown color for the tights, and I see that lots of others think the same way. Can you try brown and post photos?

I can see that most posts suggest brown and would love to see how that looks but, (and given that I have little idea here) I am wondering how dark blue or black tights would look?

I wore black tights with my brown boots in this picture

and I think that was generally YLF approved.
I do realise mustard is quite different to purple though, which may affect things

Opaque black tights could work. What about patterned hose of some sort? I saw some interesting neutral-ish plaid tights the other day. Nude fishnets, opaque grey, and cream are the other colours that come to mind. I feel like it would be hard to find a brown that would "go" with that colour of tan. It would need to have some reddish warmth to it.

I really love this outfit! It's beautiful and so are you.

I like the idea of a texture "nude" tight. Dani, do you have a preference?

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I looked and I would like to try a textured nude tight, but I was on a tight time frame and didn't see my size right off so I ended up with a rusty brown and a grey pair of tights to try. Haven't had a chance to try them, but it's on my agenda for this weekend. Stay tuned for photos

I'm curious about the textured nude hose as well. Where does one find these?

Didn't read all the other responses, but my instinct would be to say opaque grey or nude or grey fishnets.
