White Color Tights Look Good With Short White Winter Dress
White Tights Looks: Christmas/Holiday Edition 2021
Last year (2020) there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding the holidays and getting together with friends and family because of Covid-19. This year, things are slightly better. Obviously, I would suggest that you place your health and wellness above getting together for a holiday party or event. But, if you are attending something, or just want a festive outfit to wear to the office, I've got you covered. Literally. This post is a teachers fan request for Christmas/holiday themed outfits with white tights.
I have two different types of white tights–thicker sweater knit and more traditional, opaque white tights. In Ohio it's cold and snowy in the Winter so getting dressed up for work or a party is always a little tricky. Even if the event is indoors, you still have to get from the house, to the car, to the party. And I don't want to be walking through slushy snow in strappy sandals and a short skirt. Adding tights to an outfit not only provides warmth, but it can also add another layer of interest. The first two outfits feature the thicker, sweater knit tights.
Black Wrap-ping Paper for Christmas
I think that this is an outfit that most people should be able to create with items hanging in their closet. I started with a basic black wrap dress. From there, I added a red cardigan. I wanted to emphasis my waist so I didn't button all of the buttons, but I chose to leave the bottom few undone. I then added some gold and green earrings and a J-O-Y pin. For this look I went with my black t-strap pumps. My outfit is loosely based on this pin, here.
French Inspired
I don't own a beret, but if I did I would wear it with this outfit and have a near perfect representation of this pin, here. However, I still think that the outfit is cute without it and still French chic. This one doesn't come across as Christmassy at first glance, but I think that's O.K. This could still be considered a holiday outfit and maybe one that you'll wear on any 'ol day in December. It could also be a Valentine's Day outfit. I did add green and red holly berry earrings and a red lip. Also, you might notice that I accidentally put my necklace on backwards, lol. I went with my brown Oxford-esque shoes for this one, but my tan suede wedges might have been a closer match to the inspiration photo.
The next three outfits I've created using more traditional opaque white tights. I am actually not a huge fan of white tights, but it was requested around this time last year and I had some thigh high's with a slight sheen which I hated even more. I got lucky and found a pair of white tights on clearance at Wal-Mart for just a couple bucks.
Wedding Christmas Bells
I'm not sure how I feel about this look, honestly. It's my take on this pin, here. I think that here outfit is a little too holiday themed and out there for my liking. I tried to tone that down some in my own version. She does appear to have a thicker, sweater type type but I still did this one with the opaque. Funnily, this is actually my wedding dress. (Long story short, my husband and I were together 8 years before finally getting married so we skipped all of the hullabaloo and eloped in Vegas). Even more ironic, he happened to pop upstairs for a coffee refill when I was putting this dress on to photograph this outfit. He looked at me quizzically and said, "Is that your wedding dress?" Kudos to him for recognizing it. White dress, check. White tights, check. Red cardigan, check. Red pumps, check. I accessorized this outfit with red and gold earrings and then to give it just a hint of Christmas, green bangle bracelets. I think that just like the mostly red and white outfit above, this one could easily be worn for Valentine's Day. It would be fun to wear a pink bracelet and add a pin heart pin, or something along those lines.
Preppy in Penny Loafers and Glasses
My next outfit has red and green in a bolder way. This one would make a good look for a work party or something similar. Believe it or not, the inspiration started here. I replaced her black pants with a black skirt and white tights, since that was the request. Because I was creating such a contrast I thought that this scalloped hem black skirt would be perfect. I love her bronzey pointed toe pumps, but I didn't think that something of that sort would look good with the white tights. That's actually one of my issues with white tights–I never know what color of shoes to wear. Here, I chose my black heeled penny loafers because this outfit seemed to have a preppy sort of vibe. I also added my glasses in to the mix. I have a lot of green sweaters, but none that would work quite like hers so I opted for my green v-neck cardigan with jeweled buttons to wear over my red plaid button-up. This one might be my favorite.
Flip-Turned Upside Down
This last one is another outfit that doesn't scream Christmas, but could easily be worn to a holiday party or event. Again, I got my inspiration from an outfit that I've wanted to duplicate for awhile, but haven't. The thing about pinterest is that it helps to inspire me to create outfits. Sometimes, I'm doing a very literal copy and other times I'm not. This is a case where I'm not. She is wearing a white top, red blanket scarf, grey or black skirt, black tights, and black pointy toed heels. These outfits are all featuring white tights. All that I did was to flip the color scheme. She has white on top and black on bottom and I went with black on top and white on bottom. I chose a black basic long-sleeve t-shirt for this look. But, if you planned to take off the scarf or wanted something slightly dressier, I would suggest a black button-up or maybe a ribbed turtleneck. I went with my self-made white pencil skirt and white opaque tights. Ideally, a light colored shoe would have been best, but I don't have white pumps. I tried my silver mary janes with this look and they were O.K. I also tried my taupe pointy toed pumps and my nude round toe pumps. They were also sort of O.K. In the end, I went with black pointy toed pumps.
There you have it! Two Christmas/holiday outfits with white sweater tights and three outfits with opaque white tights. I hope that this gives you inspiration for something to wear to the office, or a work or holiday party.
