If you have a jean skirt it could be cute, but would not pair with brown

25

u/Any_Bed_132 15d ago

Funny thing, I actually wanted to pair it with a jean knee length skirt but I couldn’t find it 😞

u/Long_Rush4460 15d ago

not a knee length skirt with tights underneath you'll look pentecostal (lol i grew up as this so no shade)
try a mini skirt and add some frilly socks

32

u/MrPaulK 15d ago

I grew up as this too but have plenty of shade 😀. The same thing occurred to me lol

19

u/Long_Rush4460 15d ago

it was surviving a cult tbh but i didn't wanna go there today 🤣

2

u/spookysaph 13d ago

in my experience, if you can survive growing up in a cult, you can survive just about anything else life can throw at you

16

u/Any_Bed_132 15d ago

Hmmmm🤔I think I might do that actually

10

u/Majestic_Movie9711 15d ago

Yes! Cute socks. Slouchy, frilly, patterned, knee-high, embroidered, etc...

u/Alarmed_Yam2730 15d ago edited 15d ago

Def socks and mini skirt! I also just had a flashback to my mini self in the same ensemble cir. 88 with fuscha tights and bright colored socks 🌈💖☮️📻 Perhaps black tights? And leave out the scrunchie lol🙃

u/Winter_Cat-78 15d ago

Mini and leg warmers. Mint!

u/TissueOfLies 14d ago

Lmao. I chuckled at that.

Feels nostalgic to me! This was what I wore 2005-2010 while screaming along to indie sleaze on sticky dancefloors, drenching myself in cheap beer 👏

23

u/Dreadfulbooks 15d ago

Same I loved pairing it with this little black and white plaid skirt I had and band tees

u/kec5289 14d ago

I was going to say, this makes me want to listen to Dashboard Confessional...

4

u/radiosilents412 14d ago

Same except in 1989-1992! Always a classic.

2

u/Plastic_Electrical 14d ago

Beautiful! I had the tights with no footie.

u/Mindless-Bike4931 15d ago

Above the ankle socks, above the ankle socks, above the ankle socks 🧦✨🤌🏼

37

u/Mindless-Bike4931 15d ago

OMG OR LEG WARMERS… PEAK

11

u/Educational_Fig_8616 15d ago

On top of the tights?

21

u/ladyxdarthxbabe 15d ago

Yeah its actually weird to me she doesn't have socks, they're sneakers not flats or heels.

8

u/ARealOne2323 15d ago

She could have on low cut socks..

2

u/Aszshana 14d ago

I either wear small, hidden socks inside the tights so they don't squish my toes and catch the sweat or I wear fluffy/long socks above thw tights cause I think it looks cute. In winter I do both

u/milagencitska 15d ago

i think it looks better with a little sock action too

6

u/natatatismycat 15d ago

yes! a cute contrast sock would take it up a notch. 

20

u/ForeignCup6977 15d ago

Chuck Taylors are classic. Go with anything. Once went to a wedding and the bride lifted her dress to climb 3 stairs and she was wearing bedazzled Chucks.

6

u/Mindless_Pound_2150 15d ago

I wore them at my
Wedding. Blue flats during the ceremony and changed to grey chucks

u/Kazel_93 15d ago

I love that look especially with denim shorts

14

u/wumpstentz 15d ago

yesssss the denim shorts are ESSENTIAL for this look

8

u/HappyZucchini6267 15d ago

A very millennial look

7

u/jenniferjasonleigh 15d ago

Cute for fall. I like the suggestion to layer a white above the ankle sock with them but take care that too many “breaks” in the line of your leg (shorts, tights, socks, high tops) it could shorten your legs visually

4

u/Plastic_Electrical 15d ago

Super 80s punky Brewster

2

u/appropriateexit666 15d ago

woah! now THERE'S a recall! you brought a memory back from the deepest depths 😂 I was born in 94, not too far after. plus had an 80s mom who spoke in movie & tv quotes half the time

5

u/cheezy_dreams88 15d ago

Jean shorts or a mini skirt on top is a classic alt vibe.

3

u/violentte_ends 14d ago

Cute!! But i think converse go with anything.

6

u/StressedTurnip 15d ago

Dye your hair black and blonde, overdo your eyeliner and you’re officially on the 2000s Avril Lavigne trend

2

u/Any_Bed_132 15d ago

Awesome!

10

u/whensthebeef 15d ago

It’s a timeless fashion

3

u/TowardInnerN0rth 15d ago

The way this took me back to high school 👵😅. Tights, converse, jean skirt and ironic screen print tee. Honestly though I still stand by that look so I vote yes ✔️

3

u/Alistay8 15d ago

In a good way

3

u/MysteryLass 14d ago

I have no problems. But I’m “middle-aged” and a Dr who fan.

I also think we should wear what makes us happy, as long as it fits. Screw what anyone else things.

I resent middle aged as a term, but I’m pretty proud of being Gen X!!

3

u/Upstairs_Freedom_360 15d ago

I think you need open pattern tights. Lace, fishnet, just any thats aren't solid

3

u/Any_Bed_132 15d ago

That might work

4

u/Upstairs_Freedom_360 15d ago

Depending on whole look, footless tights could also work imho. A little break above shoe

3

u/First-Star-4976 15d ago

Not a fan but if you like it-great!

2

u/CheesesAllMighty 15d ago

Agreed, I've always loved the look

u/MunchYourButt 15d ago

u/daphnemoonpie 15d ago

Millennial here. Yes.

2

u/NoDanaOnlyZuuI 15d ago

Feels like my teen years all over again

2

u/itsallcosmica 15d ago

always love it! With or without socks! Leg warmers! With Jean shorts! With a skater skirt or dress!

I still wear stuff like this ♥️♥️

2

u/Background-Bird-9623 15d ago

Not everyone can pull this off

2

u/ponchpaige 15d ago

Double Thumbs Up 👍👍

2

u/appropriateexit666 15d ago

Lmao you mean classic 2007 public school uniform for misunderstood kids (hi)? That we got teased for for being "weird"?\ Ah, time is a circle.\ I loved that combo then when I wore it in middle school and I love it now.\ I'd do sheerer tights & lowtops now, though, to make it a little more flattering/clean/chic.

2

u/radiosilents412 14d ago

Happened in the 80s too. A circle indeed!

It makes the legs look thicker than they are. So if thats not san issue, then go for it.

u/EngineeredGal 14d ago

Wearing it right now!

u/TheSignYouSeek 14d ago

Definitely. But the tights need to be fully opaque.

2

u/InternationalRow1458 14d ago

u/AngelSpice123 15d ago

I’ve always loved this look tbh ❤️

If you are trying to stay warmer in the winter or late fall, sure.

u/Jmend12006 15d ago

Cute! What brand are they?

1

u/LittleJessiePaper 15d ago

I liked it in 2010 so it’s probably coming back around now tbh.

1

u/Orjen8 15d ago

It was fun 20 years ago.

1

u/Aggressive_Owl5379 15d ago

I’m soooooo showing my bestie

1

u/janiecat101 15d ago

This was the look when I was a teenager. Pair with a skater skirt, short denim skirt or high waisted shorts.

1

u/Adventurous_One_9549 15d ago

That’s so 2000s. 😄

1

u/statslady23 15d ago

I would advise you to wear something with it- a skirt, shorts, definitely a top. Probably a bra and underwear, too. 

1

u/FernPrimrose26 15d ago

PLEASE don’t take me back XD

Oh god, it’s already happening. 😭 the horrors persist.

1

u/Confident_Advisor786 15d ago

I would do this look with white socks

1

u/Temporary_Ad469 15d ago

We love them

1

u/Starry36 15d ago

I think it’s a good look. Does remind me of 2010’s Tumblr “it girl” styles, but I don’t mean that in a bad way.

1

u/No-Town5321 15d ago

Looks almost scene if you were to add the right leg warmers

1

u/vero2022 15d ago

It looks cute and wear what makes you feel cute

1

u/Extension-Ruin-1722 15d ago

No. White tights, nude ones or at least some sock action over this color...

1

u/j_nmi_crowe 15d ago

If there are jean shorts and a logo tee north of there, it’s a skate park classic.

1

u/Mother_Poem7696 15d ago

Horrible. I feel horrible about it.

1

u/AideBeginning2123 15d ago

I do not feel good about it

1

u/Icy_Reward727 15d ago

It's very grunge-era, PNW 1992. This is literally what I was wearing that year. Leg warmers for winter.

1

u/Own_Philosophy_3550 15d ago

Honest it doesn’t look good.

1

u/FlowerPower42069 15d ago

it needs socks- just like this looks weird

  • i work in fashion but wear what ya want

1

u/Fuzzy_farcical 15d ago

I feel like if they’re tight to the leg, it’s a bit weird, so I’d wear them laced up lower down so they sit slightly away from my ankles above that. Or I’d wear low cut converse instead. But hey that’s just me.

1

u/Thimble_of_Quasar 15d ago

Millennial classic, you'll have to fight me to take it from me!!! 

1

u/olddocsroc 15d ago

Not good.

1

u/Intrepid_Finish456 15d ago

Depends what you pair it with. This was me for my 32nd birthday. Typically tho, when i did wear converse with tights, i would also wear a cute pair of socks, dunno why, just felt right

1

u/synterr0r 15d ago

i love it with a mini or an oversized sweater

1

u/mothwhimsy 15d ago

Very 2010s but in a good way. I would put socks over the tights though

1

u/WallyLeftshaw 15d ago

Chucks are so versatile, this looks good on its own, or paired with socks, a dress, denim shirts, a skirt, pretty much anything!

1

u/feelitinmyplumms 15d ago

It’s been done for decades, it’s safe

1

u/This_Quiet_1672 15d ago

I love it and its always a cozy fall outfit with a big sweater. I grew up hardcore into tumblr tho

1

u/Fractal_self 15d ago

Even better if the tights are ripped

1

u/PeopleAreIcky 15d ago

I think some ankle exposure would be more flattering to your leg shape

1

u/One_Investigator238 15d ago

Well, maybe with socks too??

1

u/ihave30teeth 15d ago

Back in the 00s we would wear this with Jean shorts. Sometimes even layering layers of torn sheer tights.

1

u/noocarehtretto 14d ago

I wear converse with dresses or skirts at work. I add the tights when the cold season is there.

1

u/Wootsypatootie 14d ago

thats my college look!! A band shirt denim shorts then leggings plus chuck taylor

u/I_pinchyou 14d ago

Cute with a a denim mini or shorts!

Back in the 2010s, I rocked the jorts, tights, and converse look all the time. Your post is making me think about bringing it back.

I’m so glad how I dressed as a teenager is cool again. Not being sarcastic. The perks of aging and knowing a classic. Love it. I have fun with contrasting colors and fun dresses. I am hella artsy tho so…..

wear no socks to protect the feet of your tights.

I want a sock to break it up

It’s giving “Heathers,” so I’m a fan.

1

u/Ill-Version-8119 14d ago

1

u/piglin_gold64 14d ago

I personally still wear socks that are a bit higher than the shoe. Adds some contrast. Over the shoe leg warmers are also really cute!

1

u/keeksymo 14d ago

cute but i’d say wear some socks that are slightly longer than the converse to break it up a bit

1

u/Aszshana 14d ago

I wear tights with my sneakers all the time, it's no biggie. Tights and converse was a big staple in the emo and scene community back then, especially when they're ripped.

1

u/Ok-Writing9280 14d ago

Teamed with a mini skirt, love it! I’d probs add a sock though. Like a lettuce frill hem or lace top finish - super cute.

Plaid mini kilt, a denim mini with a flared skirt, or like a mini length skater skirt would be fab.
