They would be good for a bright look with a white tanktop, nude blazer and light shoes (nude or tan). You could also use them with coloured tops and shoes. Or with a red blouse, white blazer and nude shoes.

What would you wear with red tights? I used to own a pair that I loved, so I bought a new pair, but now I've got no clue what so ever about what to wear with them.

Agree, I would wear something in bright colour - green or blue or fuchsia and nude blazer. Maybe colourful shoes, but your trousers would look good with nude/tan pumps

white trousers:

* a bright solid silk tank, espadrilles with a matching or contrasting bright detail, (i'm thinking a cobalt blue top and some pink or orange detail on the shoes) sunglasses, and a giant oversized summery bag
* if you're adventurous, you could do a cropped strapless bustier type top with an oversized blazer (oooh... also in a really bright colour) and some basic pumps
* you could go sort of nautical with a breton stripe tee, a summery sandal or espadrille again, a skinny black belt and a big floppy hat

Okay- I bought this lovely red pencil skirt the other day to brighten up my wardrobe but I'm a little unsure what to wear with it.

Cute skirt

I would wear it with a creme or beige shirt and nude pumps/ballerina flats for summer. For winter you could wear it with black high heeled boots, black tights, a shirt in the same colours as for my suggestions for summer or a black/creme striped l/s tee. For both of the winter suggestions I would wear a charcoal grey cardi on top.

Does noone have a suggestions about how to wear red tights?

[lafindesiecle]

red skirt: what is the fabric like? if it's stiff or a wool like i'm assuming it is, i'd stick to mostly loose/sheer/flowy/softer blouses... try a black and white print blouse with a bow or ruffle at the neck... or a sheer white or black blouse, black lace/textured tights, and t-strap maryjanes, a pump, or a knee high heeled black boot. for summer i'd do a low neck neutral silk tank and loads of necklaces and a sky-high YSL-style peep toe pump and again, a floppy hat, but maybe i'm just on a floppy hat kick right now?

you could have some colourblocking fun too -- why not try an orange or pink or yellow shirt, or a periwinkle or bright green jacket? could be very jil sander if you pull it off the right way.

I have a pair of red tights I wear all the time during autumn and winter. I pair them with a grey and black printed jersey dress, and if I'm feeling especially festive, green tweed shorts.

During summer, I think they'd look very nice as part of an all-white outfit, with just the tights and maybe a red scarf or bag providing color relief.

About the red tights, I've always loved red and purple together. Do you have a purple dress?
What kind of red is it? I think gray and navy suits a dark red quite well. And I think it might look good if you combine different dark neutrals with the dark red tights.
Though I think bright red tights might be more difficult to style..

[Betinapple]

@Unminuit: great ideas! I've got a white skirt and could pair the tights with that, a white tanktop and a red bag. But what shoes then?

@Tine: they're a bright red, and I think that it makes it more difficult, as you mentioned. Unfortunatly I don't own anything purple (what a crime!)

[Tinetush]

^Yeah I figured.. Too bad, I love purple but I guess it can be hard to find the right item in the right shade.

Yeah I think pairing shoes with colored tights can be quite tricky. I personally like it when the shoes are in the same or almost same color as the tights. Though it doesn't have to be the same shade of color.

I got this gold lace skirt a while ago, but still havent figure out what to wear it this. Yesterday, i decide to wear like that & i found out i look like a Thai girl in her tradition costume.

That is very true. I've got red shoes, but only ones with open toes and I do not think that it will work to well. I've got a black ASOS dress with a creme peter pan collar that could be cute with red tights though. Just have to find a solution to the shoe problem then

Lightweight tanks in rich colours. Would look super classy but not costumey!

[lafindesiecle]

^^ agreed on that -- really saturated jewel tones would look lovely... a deep emerald, really rich cobalt, dark eggplant.... with either a strappy sandal or basic pump.

iiiii would also do it with a fitted black tank (maybe shredded or graphic?) or cropped white tee, heavily studded cropped black leather jacket, shredded black tights and some serious killer ankle boots OR a ysl-style platform pump in a killer colour like blood-red -- but i feel like i get enough crap here for my eternal desire to make everything as punk rock as possible

I bought this top today, and I don't know what to wear with. I am afraid of seeming vulgar or too much, I need your help !
