Personally, I like the look of black or tweed shorts over tights. I am just not a denim shorts gal...especially cut off denim. Maybe it just reminds me of Daisy Duke or a high school car wash.
Some tips if you want to try this trend: keep the shorts loose and the top blousey. Skin tight has no place in this trend or you will look like a hoochie or a tap dancer. I also prefer a very dark opaque tight.
Now, this celebrity whom I am sure you know, did not follow the rules and looks like a hoochie tap dancer (and that is being very nice and generous.)
I gave this trend a try myself the other night on a Date Night with my husband.
He loved it.
I'm wearing:
Ella Moss Loretta Smocked Top
Black Tuxedo Shorts from Old Navy (last season)
Nine West Empryss Bootie
Hobo International Patent Clutch
Some short options...
Some blousey top options...
What do you think of short and tights?

Michele - you look hot!! I love that look on you! I agree, not a big fan of the denim and tights, but the black looks great. You've inspired me to try it - think this will look good on short girls?
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing!! Love the black short with the black tights. You might of even inspired me to try it! I couldn't do demin and tights though either!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vinnie and Lisa! Glad you love the look too. I think it is really wearable.
ReplyDelete@V - I do think it will work for a gal of short stature (check out how PC I am with "short stature"). Monochromatic looks are lengthening so a black on black look will make legs look longer. Go for it!
I dig the tights and shorts look, but I am also a hose and shorts wearer myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Kevin. I am sure you look smashing in hose and tights. :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice look. I'm male and also wear Denim Shorts with Tights.
