May I suggest sheer black hose, pumps in black or animal print, and a wool coat to wear over the dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hosetights-color-with-navy-dress#post-1404804 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 15:09:17 +0000 lynn 1404804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! I had not thought through the coat vs jacket thing but I think a coat would be more appropriate. This is when I need a regular "dress up" coat. I have a black one that I hope will do--i haven't worn it in a few years. Black and navy it will be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hosetights-color-with-navy-dress#post-1404106 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 23:00:11 +0000 ElleH 1404106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just to be safe I wouldn't wear the white jacket or leopard shoes. The black or nude shoes &amp; black or nude sheer hose with a black jacket sounds best. You are not meant to be noticed or memorable because it is not about you. I'm sorry you have this occasion. I guess it happens to us all at some time &amp; unfortunately it is the least fun to dress for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hosetights-color-with-navy-dress#post-1404062 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 21:10:39 +0000 Anonymous 1404062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd wear sheer black stockings (if the skirt is knee length. Opaque if much above the knee) and black shoes. Nothing to call attention to itself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hosetights-color-with-navy-dress#post-1404047 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 20:44:13 +0000 Suz 1404047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd probably wear sheer navy hose with whichever boots or footwear looked best. And a coat vs. jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hosetights-color-with-navy-dress#post-1403899 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 14:23:21 +0000 Elizabeth P 1403899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a memorial service, I'd say black boots and black jacket.&nbsp; Nude or black tights, depending on the weather, length of dress, and if you want to lighten up just a tad.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hosetights-color-with-navy-dress#post-1403702 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 23:32:07 +0000 carter 1403702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a memorial service, I would probably go with the black boots and tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hosetights-color-with-navy-dress#post-1403700 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 23:21:34 +0000 krishnidoux 1403700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why not try (subdued) print tights in colors of purple/blues/black with black boots? If it's chic and demure, it will look appropriate. This, or purple or&nbsp;navy blue solid cotton tights, which have a little thickness and are not see through, with brown boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hosetights-color-with-navy-dress#post-1403684 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 22:47:31 +0000 Anonymous 1403684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could go with navy tights or hose with black boots. Or brown tights with brown boots if your hair is brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hosetights-color-with-navy-dress#post-1403670 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 22:21:05 +0000 LearningCurve 1403670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally tend to go for the 'safe' option of black tights and shoes/boots in most cases and just accessorise to add extra colour if appropriate. </p> <p>In terms of whether to use black items rather than the lighter ones really boils down to the preferences of your family. Is it custom for everyone to wear dark colours as a mark of respect, or are your family more from the 'celebrators of life' camp?</p> <p>If the latter, white sounds like a fab idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hosetights-color-with-navy-dress#post-1403664 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 22:15:23 +0000 lynn 1403664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a family memorial service to attend in December. I would like to wear a navy dress with 3/4 sleeves. Do I wear black tights and boots, brown boots with ? tights or nude hose with nude or leopard shoes? It will probably be cold but we won't be outside. I have a cropped winter white jacket I can wear or a black one. All opinions welcome! </p>
