Q&A for How to Choose Color Stockings or Tights

Keep the rest of your outfit simple. If you want to show off a pair of tights in a bright shade or a bold pattern, like red polka dots, go with a more subtle dress or skirt. That way, the emphasis will be on your tights, and your outfit won't be too overwhelming.

Try to go with a light blue or dark blue. Black is good if you cant find blue.

Try and match your skin tone as close as possible if you shave your leg hair. If not, go with an opaque black. I do suggest you reconsider cut off jeans shorts, though; hosiery is a better look on guys when paired with more tailored khaki or dark-colored golf shorts.

Black or nude.

It depends on what kind of event you're attending. If it's a wedding or anything formal like that, pair it with white stockings.

If that is your outfit, then you should wear sheer black stockings. When you wear them they will have a brown tinge to them and make your legs look sleek. Avoid wearing skin colored stockings, as you already have the pale colors in your outfit. With black it is a nice contrast and variation of color, and if you take your booties off, the color will be seen in full, and they will also keep you warm and looking stylish.

It depends how pink your shoes are, if they are a bold pink then you should have a sheer black pair of stockings, as when they are worn they will have a brown tinge to them. Avoid any that are really dark, as your pink shoes will be too bold and you want the stockings to even out the color tones. You could also wear nude stockings, as long as they match your skin tone.

Sheer black stockings are best as they will work with anything. Try and get the kind that are see-through as far as your toenails, because if they are too dark they will stand out too much.

Since it is formal, go with something very sharp and professional. Nude, black, and sheer white are all good choices.

Yes. I suggest wearing nude stockings, or a color that matches the shoes.

I would suggest a nude color. You can decide if you want it all sheer or darker. If you want to experiment, and depending on the occasion, you can also wear grey, navy, or burgundy.

Sheer navy or nude. Avoid black or other colors, since they will not work well with the dress colors.

Sure! The trick is not to try to wear them as if they matched your skin color. For example, with a sparkly silver dress, you could wear either opaque or semi-opaque (20 - 40 denier) hosiery. Stay away from ultrasheer. With a brown dress or skirt, wear something sheer (20 denier), but not ultrasheer.

How about black hose (sheer for warm weather, opaque for cool weather) and black booties? Stay away from patterned hose with that patterned dress.

Almost always wear a nude or sheer black. They work with everything! You can finalize between the two depending on the color of your footwear.

How about either black patterned pantyhose or bright color opaque tights that make a color triad with your top and shorts? For example, with a green top and black shorts, how about orange tights? With a blue top, try red tights.

I make sure they do; it just prevents embarrassment during an unforeseen moment of accidental flashing.

Nude stockings would work really well if you get them to match your skin tone. Sheer black stockings would give a stylish look.

Nude/skin color stockings would go best with anything that is patterned, but make sure you get some that match your skin tone for a sleek look. You could also wear sheer black stockings, as they'll go with anything. Don't wear anything too opaque.

Yes, those would be the perfect stockings for such a dress.

Black stockings.

Hunter green.

You should also wear black tights because it would go with the black flower and shoes.

Choose opaque tights that pick out or contrast other colours that are present in your outfit. If you have a mostly neutral outfit wear a pair of, for example, sapphire blue opaque tights and accessorise with a blue scarf.

Black tights are good, but for a brighter style go for nude or blue. I personally use dark blue, but any color will do, depending on the color of blouse you're wearing.

Wear flesh tone tights. It will allow the outfit to look bright and summery. Or, you could wear black if you like.

Wear black or flesh tone hose. It depends on what you intend to wear with them. Try wearing black, as it looks sophisticated against silver.

Try nude or black stockings. And it helps to go with you skin color, since it's simpler.

Thick white, skin-toned or sheer tights are the best choice. Avoid wearing anything deep colored like black or blue. Avoid wearing the same color as your dress or shoes.
