hi again,
how are you?

id say tights!
I think if you're a size 16-18 and wearing a short dress you should always wear tights in winter. I think anyone above a twelve should really, unless they have disproportionately slim legs compared to the rest of their body. On anyone who doesn't have really nice, properly slender legs, no tights in winter looks a bit tacky in a short skirt.

(The reverse is true too, if you're skinny but have disproportionately chunky legs, I think tights will always look better).

I say no tights due to the shoes being peep-toe. If you were going to wear black tights, I'd have black shoes too.

Love that dress! I would say generally in winter tights are more flattering as goosepimples are never a good look! Though as those are peep toe shoes you might be best wearing lacy or fine fishnet tights, definitely not opaques in my opinion.

yes, I can :giggle:
I would say the same colour as your dress, but the shiny type.
Otherwise, black.

Sheer tights with a loop toe/ peep toe/sheer toe [you will probably have to look online for them]

I doubt you have size ten legs, to be honest. But whatever, I was just giving my opinion.
But yes, tights are warmer and just generally look classier than bare legs.

By lacy do you mean patterned lacy like these?

Yes like that! I really like the look of that pair actually! Obviously it's down to personal taste but I think those would look nice.

Agreed; peep toes look better without tights.

Yeah thats why I picked em, thought they were really nice, some of the other lace ones are really boring.
Could be too much going on though? patterned tights, sequin/pleated dress and silver shoes?

id say tights no matter if you had skinny legs or wider legs.

bare legs, winter, cold, short short short dress = not attractive.
Tights :yep:

I love tights, I'd wear them with that dress even if it wasn't winter lol.
Don't wear tights with peep toes!

it looks really short, but on its actually not that bad, I was worried about it looking bad coz its so short, then it wasnt short.
Same with my mates dresses, I was like OMG that is so short, but on it wasnt nearly as bad as I had imagined.

But think I'm gunna get some lace ones, try em an if they look too much coz of what else I'm wearing Ill get some others instead, I like tights so Ill wear em even if not with that dress
