Black tights are a fashion staple for any person’s wardrobe. But how do you style them with a dress to look effortlessly cool?
Why black tights are great
If black tights make you think of being a schoolgirl, then you need to move past that quickly. Tights may have once been the bane of your life, but rest assured that they can be cool and can often ‘make’ an outfit. Check out some ideas for black tights worn with dresses below.
Black Tights and Shirt Combo
Ever wondered how to pull off the long, tailored shirt dress when at work? Add a pair of tights! A pair of glossy or semi-opaque tights is a work-friendly option when teamed with a shorter dress, such as an oversized shirt.
And to finish this casual/corporate look? Some loafers and a blazer chucked over your shoulders… voila!
PU Leather Skirt and Tights
Faux or PU leather is coming back strong, and mock-leather miniskirts can be seen all over town. However, as this material is quite thick and heavy, it doesn’t quite work with bare legs. To complete this look perfectly, we recommend wearing some 80 denier tights paired with some killer heels to make your pins look amazing.
If you’ve always struggled to find tights that don’t sag, gape, or the reverse, then we urge you to think about spending a bit more on some better tights that will last you longer, like those from https://www.bettertights.com/collections/80-denier-tights. No more holes, ladders or discomfort… quality tights are not to be underestimated.
Grungy Dress and Loafers
If your style is more edgy, then some black tights will probably already be one of your favourite wardrobe items. You can literally wear any grungy or cutesy tea dress, no matter the colour, with some tights and look effortlessly cool. Our favourite way to finish off this look is with some cute Japanese-inspired ankle socks with a frilly trim – yes, worn over the top of tights – matched with a pair of chunky flat or flatform loafers.
