Sandals and tights - when a mistake, and when a fashion?

The democratic fashion of recent times made it possible to combine the previously incongruous - for example, shoe sandals not on the bare foot. Does this mean a complete absence of past restrictions, read on.

Interesting! Residents of the Arctic began to wear sandals with tights back in Soviet times and do so to this day. The reason for the specific northern dress code is simple: you want to wear light summer shoes in your native places, and climatic conditions do not always allow you to.

Sandals + tights - is it possible?

It’s quite - if you get rid of the stereotype firmly entrenched in your head about the absolute tastelessness of such a combination and observe some conditions .

For example, the dark shades of pantyhose in combination with black models of shoes visually lengthen the legs without violating the color harmony with other colors of the clothes, especially if the top will not be too contradictory in color with the bottom.

Important! Black transparent tights dictate increased demands on the shape of the legs! Sharply outlining the contours, this option will emphasize all the shortcomings: too thin legs will look skinny, appetizing-full may seem thick, and a little crooked - hopelessly crooked.

Creepy combination errors

Consider the most "scary" ones.

When the shoes are too summer

There are models designed exclusively for summer weather, when putting something on your feet seems superfluous. Among them:

rope espadrilles on a cork wedge;
shoes from jeans straps;
"Village" clogs;
nude sandals.

A duet with tights is not suitable for these options.

Advice! Fans of trendy bold combinations can take a chance, shoes with woolen tights, clogs. Designers find it stylish.

If the tights are shiny

Even a seemingly neutral flesh color will seem, in combination with open shoes, simply vulgar.

With "low" sandals

The lack of a heel and a flat sole is a serious reason to abandon the fashionable combination: it is simply unaesthetic. Fingers protruding from an open sock create a feeling of perforated shoes. Only suitable for the image of a hunger strike!

If seams are visible

Sometimes hosiery (especially cheap) is equipped with a seam in the area of the fingers. To demonstrate it to strangers is the same bad manners as flashing lining of clothes for show. There are two options to avoid breaking and a successful ensemble of tights + sandals:

unreliable - hide the seam under the fingers (it can pop out at any time, despite vigilance);
the only correct one is to choose only seamless products.

With old shoes

Well-worn shoes, in principle, have little chance of becoming a full member of a successful ensemble. A few exceptions are the boho or grunge styles, but here it is rather a question of the effect of some shabby . In the battered sandals and tights, you can pass as an aristocrat of garbage.

If these are “simple” grandmother’s tights

Purchased in an underground passage or a social store, such haberdashery items can be worn unless under the grandmother’s same long skirt or in cold weather - under trousers. Seams on the fingers, spools after the first sock, baggy - all this makes budget tights unsuitable for wearing with sandals.

When the sandals are bright and the pantyhose are colored

The combination itself is not taboo - errors occur if you “mix” cold and warm shades. For example, red legs sticking out of blue sandals look shocking.

Advice! When choosing a colored pair of pantyhose sandals, be guided by the similarity in gamut - it is not necessary to try to get into the same color. Cobalt and indigo shades go well with ultramarine.

When can I wear pantyhose with sandals?

When all the requirements for tights and sandals, as well as for the rules of their compatibility are met ! The easiest way to make combinations with a black opaque model of tights with a density of 80 den. Go well together:

with heeled sandals - medium or massive;
with sandals, sandals - on the platform or “rough” heels.

Having tested the "basic" option, you can venture on colored or patterned tights - of course, with a sense of proportion. Woolen hosiery is also able to become a full participant in the trendy combination. The main thing is that the seam on the toe does not stick out, and the shoes are not too catchy .

The hardest thing is to choose an ensemble with thin tights. Shiny flesh is definitely not suitable, but mesh, patterned, printed or just black ones require a sense of taste . You need to start from the rule - the thumb of the foot should be open to a minimum.

Important! Contrary to the opinion of the fuller property of color tights, they can also be slim - if you wear a model of gray, burgundy or dark blue colors with black shoes. All variants of white, orange, yellow will really visually add volume. That is why they will suit most of all thin and young!

Choosing shoes, you have to abandon the beach and summer options . Leather (matte!), Dune, suede top models on a small platform looks great with dense tights - color or black. Wool is also suitable.
