Is it bad that I wear opaque black tights throughout the winter and never particularly worry about whether it's current or not? I kind of figure they're just a base, and they may not be adding much to the outfit, but they're not detracting from it either as long as they work with whatever else I'm wearing.
I do have other dark neutrals that I wear when I get sick of every outfit having to be black-based. For me, it seems like navy and brown tights are easier to wear than gray because it's easier to figure out shoes to coordinate with them.
Colored tights always seem fun and I have a few pairs, but can never figure out how to wear them without looking cartoony. Although I may have to copy AJ's first picture! I love how it looks and actually have burgundy tights and navy suede booties.
Edit: Greyscale's post reminded me that I also love wearing black tights with brown or cognac shoes. When I do it, it's generally boots, not oxfords, so probably a little less hipster-y. And I feel like the black tights/brown shoes combo has only been a thing within the last few years, so it's current at least by my standards.
