I've tried gray tights, and they are always in such weird shades, rarely the shade I need in order to match something. I think it would be difficult to match the boots, in other words. I also like your idea of tall right boots, for another option! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1850869 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 12:00:11 +0000 gryffin 1850869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A vote for opaque tights.&nbsp; I would either go gray to match the boots or black opaques.&nbsp; I scarf with blue/black/gray would look awesome to really bring it together and make it very "grown up"&nbsp; I wear this look all the time.&nbsp; I would also personally wear it with leggings.&nbsp;Some legging are an off black especially the hue faux suede leggings which would probably almost match the booties.&nbsp; Just a thought.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1850860 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 10:23:48 +0000 AndiB 1850860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are sheer black tights just stockings? I tend to wear higher denier tights in winter, like everyday all winter when wearing skirts. I learned I don’t like leg baring looks in warm weather because I feel frumpy in hose and don’t live baring my legs, at least with a pencil skirt / dress look at work. But sheer tights? Maybe, if that isn’t just black hose. Ckarification please </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1850819 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 03:52:24 +0000 Faith 1850819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't do it, I didn't like the way my larger calves looked with the boots and tights and I felt weird. I'm going to regroup and try again with a lower bootie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1850778 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 01:30:30 +0000 kwood 1850778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear combat boots and dresses allll the time, and I am with Angie on the sheer black, or a semi opaque grey, a 40 den maybe.</p> <p>Gorgeous dress, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1849002 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 13:44:06 +0000 lyn67 1849002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use sheer blacks all the time to all my late fall/early spring dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1848974 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 12:36:14 +0000 Paige! 1848974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hue-opaque-shaper-tights/4717428?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;fashioncolor=INK%20BLUE">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hu.....rt&#038;fa</a></p> <p>If you wanted to go with blue, I think these would be stunning--</p> <p>I think opaque-sheer tights with some support/shaping are very flattering and professional for the workplace.

Thanks for everyone's help! I'm going to give my outfit a whirl tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1848714 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 17:32:54 +0000 kellygirl 1848714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look and think it is totally age appropriate. I'd match the hosiery to the boot or wear black like Angie suggests. I've worn colored tights before and while I thought it looked fine--I felt a little self conscious at work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1848711 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 17:25:22 +0000 Liz A. 1848711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same as above. &nbsp;I would go with grey tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1848698 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 16:46:53 +0000 kkards 1848698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>like Tina, I would try to match the tights to the boots....but I'm not very adventures when it comes to color, and I love matchy-matchy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1848679 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 15:07:11 +0000 Faith 1848679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Thank you Kathie!! I'm so relieved because I really like the look but then I was like am I having a mid life crisis???:) Thanks Tina, I also like both pieces.&nbsp; Angie, it doesn't matter that there will be three different colors? Blue, Black and grey? Does that matter? Am I over thinking this as I usually do?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1848667 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 14:21:01 +0000 Kathie 1848667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As someone else in her 40s, I hope the look isn't too young. Dress/black tights/heeled Oxfords or booties is my fall/winter uniform. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1848665 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 14:16:28 +0000 Angie 1848665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sheer black tights.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1848662 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 14:11:32 +0000 Tina 1848662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, I would try to match the tights to the boots. This would create a more streamlined look. I love both pieces and see no reason for you not to wear them to work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tights-and-dresses#post-1848660 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 13:58:47 +0000 Faith 1848660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got a fall dress that I'd like to wear with some tights but the dress is a marine blue, a few steps from navy, I was hoping to wear it with some grey combat boots and tights, what color tights? I'm already worried about looking like I'm dressing too young so feel free to mention if this is a look best left for the whippersnappers. A search on Pinterest gives me wine, olive, navy, gray or black, I'm in a fairly casual office setting but would like to keep it appropriate. Just had one thought, should I just stick to a tall riding boot instead? I'm in my 40's for a reference. </p>
