Would sheer black hosiery or neutral hosiery look best?
Would sheer black hosiery or neutral hosiery look best? I plan on wearing a navy dress with black block heel shoes to an evening wedding in November. I am rather short (5’3”) and my dress hits right above the knee.
Sheer black hosiery would look awesome with a navy blue dress and black shoes. Wearing similar shades will give you a monochromatic look that will elongate your figure (make you look taller and slimmer) and give you a put-together and polished look. You’re above the knee dress will give you a youthful look!

What color hose should I wear with a navy blue lace cocktail dress?
A navy blue lace cocktail dress sounds awesome! When deciding what color stockings or hose to wear with your cocktail dress take your height into consideration. Since the dress is mid-calf you are probably a tall woman. If you are very tall, the neutral color hose will be very stylish with your navy blue dress and navy shoes. Sheer black hose would also look good with a navy blue lace dress. Sheer-colored hosiery looks better for dressy events. If you are on the shorter side very sheer black hose would give you a taller appearance. (Navy hose might look too matchy, matchy with your navy dress and shoes.) Open-toe shoes are not usually worn with neutral color sheer hose today.
What color jewelry should I wear with a dark, navy blue dress?
Any metal (gold or silver), pearl or sparkly (quality rhinestone or diamond) jewelry would look great with a dark, navy blue dress. A color like turquoise would look fabulous too! When you choose your jewelry think about where you will be wearing your dress: a cocktail party, business lunch, etc. Next, take into consideration your skin tone and hair color. Pearls are classic and always look chic and go with most skin tones. A little bit of experimentation will help in deciding what is most flattering on you.
