Sequins, Velvet, Metallics—Pair Them All

This season, it’s all about mixing textures to create unexpected combinations, and dresses with black tights provide the perfect foundation for a standout look. Don’t be afraid to experiment with a blend of sequins, velvet, and metallics for a chic, multidimensional look. Mixing textures is one of my favorite things to do for fall and winter.

For example, a velvet mini with a subtle metallic sheen, like this mini shift dress from Hutch, becomes both luxurious and cozy when grounded by classic black tights. The richness of the velvet contrasts beautifully with sleek tights. And when adding metallic accessories like Aquazzura slingback pumps or a sequin bag like this gold Valentino Loco—this look is destined for broken necks.

On the other hand, pairing black tights with metallic dresses, like the Astr the Label Golda, opens up endless styling possibilities. A silver dress always shines brighter with the added depth and contrast of opaque black tights. This textured mix elevates your look from classic to contemporary, allowing you to celebrate fall’s most luxe fabrics in style—all with one simple trick: dresses with black tights.
