My girlfriend is going to an event this weekend and would like to look good. We are in a heated debate on "what stockings are appropriate" basically.

DRESS: 2013-02-01_1330.png

BELT:Skinny Leopard Print (image isn't working)

SHOES: 2013-02-01_1416.png

The question is:

1. Can I wear patterned stockings??

if no...

2. Can I wear Navy Blue Stockings??

I will not state my opinion here. I would just like your non-biased feedback.

    I'd have to see the stockings. But in my humble opinion you can pull anything off.
    You just seem stylish.

    Thank you for your feedback. And your recommendation for hosiery would be? (Assume the legs in question are EXTREMELY circus clown white).

    depends on the patterned stockings - what kind of pattern? Definitely NO on navy.

    I loathe stockings. Opaque black tights would work, but not with the shoes.

    Navy blue is a big effing no. This isn't the 80s.

    I'd have to see what kind of "patterns" you're talking about.

    No and No. I think you can pull of dark stockings with those shoes, but black, not navy.

    Since I know this is about Corn now...

    ..Corn, I love you girl, but if you're doing the leopard print belt, the shoes need to be black, and you can rock some black opaque tights.

    Navy is out of the question. Again, the 80s called. It wants it's tights back.

    Patterned is fine, only if they're tonal. Again, though, the belt and the shoes need to match if you go that route. Red belt, not leopard print.

    I would go with patterned (only if it's a small pattern and the stockings are black) over navy blue stockings

    I second that you can go without stockings. But definitely not patterned with a leopard print belt!!! And NO NAVY!!!!

    I would go with black opaque tights. I love an all black dress and all black tights together. The belt & shoes will make everything come together well. You don't want anymore pattern/color with the differing shoes & belt IMO

    Definitely no on the navy - the pattern would depend on what it is. Maybe something more fistnet like or the lace style ones? Worse case just wear pantyhose.

    ETA- you posted a picture while I was typing apparently. I think those would be fine. Or like others are saying opaque black tights would work well too.
