OOTD + How to wear patterned tights

I have always considered patterned tights to be a bit tricky to pull off...... Here is a picture of how I wore it today...

One of the easiest ways to wear it would be with a simple/plainish black sheath dress and plain black pumps. As long as your tights are not fish net, I am sure it would look nice.

If you are a little apprehensive, you can ease yourself into this trend by wearing it with simple black boots. This way you hide most of the tights in boots.

Try and keep everything else solid/plain/understated. If you do want to mix patterns try and keep distance between the patterns...like the above picture with plain skirt and cardigan with a printed scarf. Try and stick to similar colours if combining patterns and make sure you have one main plain/solid article on to pull it all together.

I like even the footwear to be simple, so that there are not many things competing for your eyes' attention.
