Blake Lively Gives a Lesson in Tights-and-Minidress Combo | yohana
The dark tights-and-minidress combo is an elusive look that can either look chic or disastrous. Tights can play down, play up or ruin an ensemble, and we only have to do a scrutinous inspection of Blake Lively's recent style to determine how to rock tights with dresses as well as see how they should never be worn.
We'll move from worst to best. In September, Blake wore a black-and-white Versace minidress for the H&M fashion show, pairing the sultry frock with sheer black tights. The dress had some potential on its own despite the fact it seemed a size too small for her, but the tights utterly killed it. The added tights gives her a suffocated look, and she would have been better off ditching the unnecessary layer.
This week to the Haywire screening in NYC, she sparkled in a bold Dolce & Gabbana number. This was an improvement from her previous look. This dress fitted her better, and the short flared skirt showcased the tights in just the right way. Our only complaint with this megawatt outfit? That the tights were ribbed. She should have gone with solid ones, since they woudn't have competed with the contrasting fabrics on her dress.
Finally at the MoMA film benefit in November, she nailed it. She wore a very fashion-forward tweed frock by Chanel with a feathered peplum top. She finished off her runway look with metallic bracelets, black Louboutin booties and of course, dark tights. Here, they helped to pull her look together with an avant garde flair.
