Still true to my word :0)</p> <p>You’re right, Jean. For the most part, I’m not fan of opaque tights. They can look drab in my opinion. Matte black boots with black opaques and a black skirt and none of the blacks match. The opaques have pilled and the whole look lacks richness and depth. Sort of tired- looking and very flat. Or black boots worn with black opaque tights and then there isn’t any more black in the rest of the outfit. No balance. Just not so fab when black opaque tights are treated as the only option for hose and people fall back on it all the time. That’s when I don’t fancy the look of black opaque tights. Does that make sense?</p> <p>However, pull together an all black outfit with texture and excitement, throw in black opaques and it’s brilliant. I guess I feel about black opaques the same way I feel about black clothing. Absolutely fabulous when worn in the right way, but often misunderstood. </p> <p>The way you’ve worn leggings with boots is fabulous, Jean! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98715 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:30:08 +0000 shana 98715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I was also a bit confused about that. I guess I am not sure what the difference is between tights and opaque hose? I thought they were the same thing??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98691 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:41:53 +0000 greenglove 98691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could have sworn you stated that it was a look you did not care for (probably did not say hate). It is confusing to me why you do not care much for opaque tights with skirts and dresses but do think leggings are ok? Aren't they even more opaque?<br /> I know you prefer hose to tights. I guess I am not getting it, I was reading the thread about tights and hose and you stated if I read it properly that black opaques can look awful with boots. Maybe I should go back and read it again.<br /> I am sure I have something confused about the tights, leggings with boots issue.<br /> Do the leggings I have on in the picture look ok??</p> <p>THANK YOU DEAR ANGIE!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98687 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:25:28 +0000 BlondeAmbition 98687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, I think this has been the "in" look for some time.</p> <p>Not true Angie, you do hate maxi dresses </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98666 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 05:15:22 +0000 Angie 98666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m confused as to why I wouldn’t like the look? Leggings with boots? It's so normal. And there are very few things in life that I hate :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98644 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 03:38:32 +0000 cciele 98644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh, I didn't know there was an issue with leggings + boots; that's what I wore all last winter! :)</p> <p>So needless to say I am a big fan of the look, and you look outstanding Jean! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98589 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 00:24:34 +0000 susand 98589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you look fantastic!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98580 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:53:27 +0000 Tanya 98580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great on this outfit and it definitely works well.</p> <p>I would be curious to know a general rule for this as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98551 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 21:07:06 +0000 marianne 98551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wondering about the same thing. I love your outfit in the picture, but I am not sure if there is a rule about what textures work best on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98522 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 19:07:14 +0000 kellygirl 98522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That look gets a big fat yes from me.

They are warmer than thick tights x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98493 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 17:20:38 +0000 bella 98493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed, fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98479 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:38:43 +0000 Debbie 98479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me Jean! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98475 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:17:13 +0000 Kristen 98475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that look! IF (and that's a big if) I were going to try a calf-length boot, I would consider doing it with leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-and-boots#post-98474 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:11:11 +0000 greenglove 98474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wondering how everyone feels about wearing leggings and boots, not the denim kind but black or brown. I have been doing it and wondered how others felt. I like the comfort, warmth and coverage. Does it look ok or a big no no. I would like keep doing it and feel that hose are not as practical for my lifestyle. I also wear tights bit like the more opaque look of leggings for certain times. I think Angie hates this look but Angie if you do, are there exceptions for us artsy types?<br /> This is an example of a recent outfit,<br /> <a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e265/greenglove/thurs-6.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i41.photobucket.com/alb.....hurs-6.jpg</a><br /> not crazy about the bag at the knees, but they are not fixed properly and usually do not do that. </p>
