One of the easiest ways to add some texture and interest to a basic black dress is to add patterned tights. Most of the best looks feature an open-work pattern that lets your skin peek through to show texture. Here’s how to make them work: - Choose smaller repeating patterns for the subtlest look. Vertical open-work stripe is the best option for those who want to elongate legs.
- Pair patterned tights with simple dresses or tunics: a basic black knee-length dress in jersey, sweater knit or crepe works beautifully with patterned tights.
- Almost any shoe works great with patterned tights, even open-toed shoes.
- Tone-on-tone looks (black tights with a black dress) are the easiest and most flattering way to wear this look.
