Red with the red tights to not cut your vertical line, but I would also go with solid tights for a patterned skirt. If you’re going to wear patterned tights, then a solid skirt. You are cutting your vertical lines (appear shorter) and it’s very busy.
You can also try a red top with the plaid skirt and solid tights and that will be a game changer as far as making you look taller since you made mention of looking short in one of your comments.
If you want to wear white for your event to go with the theme, try adding a blazer in the same shade of red over the white top.

2nd shoes! I do love your plaid skirt and if not for this festival, I’d love to see it paired w solid tights in the wine/red or black. I have similar skirts and I always pair with dark tights.
I wish i knew you irl because I need
SO MUCH HELP with what to wear to achieve the look i want. It's all kinds of humiliating being 35 and missing this skill.
I know this isn’t what you asked, but: Patterned skirt with solid tights or solid skirt with patterned tights. There’s too much going on here. But if you’re set on the outfit, I’d try black booties or knee highs. If it has to be the red or white only, then definitely the red.
I feel like some pattern-on-pattern outfits can work, especially for adventurous fashion-lovers; for me, it's the swirly/lacy against the structured/plaid (and the non-matching reds) that are messing with this outfit.
Totally agree on booties or knee highs as the solution!
Black would look best, the red ones would be passable, but definitely not the white ones. Also, those tights have got to go. If you must wear tights, maybe sheer black
The tights are clashing with the skirt. I'd go for a solid color tights in either black or red and either a black or red shoe.
Between the two choices available I'd choose the red shoe but the tights need to change, even a sheer tight would be better.
Red I like it the way it is! The lace is unique and most people don’t make moves to design an outfit the way you did I think the tights are everything!
I would wear a black shirt, black solid tights and black boots. With the color and texture changes, the outfit is chopping you into blocks, making you look shorter. Have fun!
Idk about the shoes (I'd do black heels or high boots), but I think the plaid skirt and floral lace stockings are clashing. Maybe go with a solid color. ❤️
Solid tights. Right now, those tights aren’t appropriate. Neither is the skirt tbh. I’d do a black tight and black boots. Do you have a different outfit?
You either get a solid skirt or solid stockings, those two don't work together. I like the red shoes. They would look good with sheer black stockings and the skirt.
The tights must go they actually have a hole, plus clash with skirt. The skirt should go too, for many reasons. Neither shoes, if you’re keeping the tights and the skirt. If the just the skirt is staying then black tights, black shoes or boots. The top is fine but not with that skirt - the fit and balance of both is off when worn together, the skirt is just not a great fit or length on you. You’ve a lovely figure but your outfit is doing you dirty.
The white shoes would look great because they create a nice balance with your top. The red shoes get a bit lost against the red skirt and patterned tights. White would really make the outfit pop😊

Too much going on with patterned tights and tartan as well. The burgundy colour of the tights doesn't match the skirt either. Black tights and black boots would look better.

Neither shoes look good..
Black shoes would be better..
If tights are red, black shoes. If you pick black tights, red shoes.

this times 100000
I agree with this, but if it’s all you have and these were your only choices, I’d do the red.
All great tips!
This advice is spot on.

I think boots would look better.
Yessss
Oh yes! I vote boots!!!
Agreed, black boots.
The pattern tights color and sheerness takes the eye off of the skirt and top. Black tights and black shoes will be sharp look!
I came to say exactly this! Black sheer tights with black boots or shoes.
The tights and skirt don’t work. I’d start there and then pick a black shoe.
The lace with that skirt does not look good. Maybe wear black nylons or a solid color skirt.
The tights gotta go, replace them with black rights and wear boots!!!

Red !
Black shoes.
If these really are your only options, I'd go with the red.
Black boots
Tbh, neither. I'm gonna second all of the “black shoes” suggestions.
Black chunckie shoes will look fireee
Red, however the patterned skirt and stockings clash with each other - if one of them could be plain, that would make the look more cohesive.
Red but maybe plain tights would look better
Red
Red
Black might’ve been nicer. But out of these, I’d say red.
black shoes
Black shoes.
Black shoes , black plain stockings..
Am I the only one thinking the plaid skirt and floral tights are clashing?
Not the skirt tbh
red hands down
Not a fan of either, especially the white ones. If you have black shoes, that would look great. If not, go with the red ones.
Do you have a black boot?
The pattern of the tights is clashing with the pattern of the skirt. Black shoes black nylons.
Long boots with plain or fleece/translucent tights
Black is the only choice imho. Black boots would be an alluring look.
The red look the better of the two.
I spotless start a black mock turtle neck, short sweater, sheer black tights and black boots with a long big necklace and my hair up
IMO: You should definitely wear the red ones. The white should be no go. Cute fit.
Definitely not the white ones. They look bad with the black tights
Cute. I like the red, but maybe black or nude lace stockings instead of maroon would look cute too!
Black tights would make the outfit 🔥🔥🔥 especially with the white shoes
Red shoes
Red definitely!!!! Start with 4" for effect then if you can do higher go for it!!!!
You should never wear patterned tights with a plaid skirt. Ever.
Neither. Black shoes or boots. The red and the white distract from the outfit and make it look messy.
red shoes, black or nude tights
Black or red, if you have black tights
Red! I think they are beautiful and flattering with the red skirt and tights.
Those tights do not work with the outfit.
Black tights and combat boots. Those tight do not complement the look.
I agree with top post—neither. You should go black patent or dark green
I was thinking black boots as others have mentioned
the pantyhose are too much
I think black pumps would look great, but if you are dead set on those shoes then I think the red ones look better.
i like the white ones bc since they match the top it looks like a "sandwich" where the top and the lowest part match and i LOVE sandwhich effects haha
White shoes, sheer black tights
The white ones! Or black platforms
Those tights do not go with the outfit
The whole look doesn’t work
Black Mary Jane’s w low heels or doc martens.
RED baby, RED
i think if you like the red better i would wear different tights to break the color up like black. or wear black shoes
out of the two though the red is better
I say white shoes.
Black tights black shoes
Black boots, like doc martens, would look amazing with that fit
Black boots.
Red looks great
Red.
Do not do white
The tights are clashing with the skirt. I'd go for a solid color tights in either black or red and either a black or red shoe. Between the two choices available I'd choose the red shoe but the tights need to change, even a sheer tight would be better.
Red.
Red please
Tall boots and either no pattern skirt or no pattern tights. Too much going on.
The red ones
Opaque black tights and black boots
Red! But it would look great with an all red tight that matches the shoes rather than the floral tights you have ❤️
Red
Of the two, red.
Red I like it the way it is! The lace is unique and most people don’t make moves to design an outfit the way you did I think the tights are everything!
Red ones
Black hose and boots if you have them. The hose are too patterned and clash with the skirt.
Red ones look best
Red shoes, with solid colored sheer black tights
Red
Black boots
Distracted by the tights that don’t go at all. Probably black tights and boots
Black if you have them. The white, definitely not. And the red are too shiny.
You need black tights. The red gives you vecna legs and is most off-putting with the white shoes. Black tights with the red shoes will work
Do you own any black shoes?
I would wear a black shirt, black solid tights and black boots. With the color and texture changes, the outfit is chopping you into blocks, making you look shorter. Have fun!
Different skirt please
The tights need to be retired, looks like a hole or something on left side under knee. Black tights and black shoes would be most flattering combo.
Neither, go with black
No white dress shoes after Labor Day.
Black tights white shoes
Not the most flattering outfit for you.
Lose those stockings. Go with black
Can I add other input? Those tights don’t go well with the skirt. I think plain black tights would look much better. And black shoes
If those two are the options then the red ones. For sure not the white ones. Have fun!
First. Second draws all the attention to your feet.
red if it’s the only 2 option available but i would wear black bootie with that outfit
The entire outfit is adorable with the red shoes.
Red
High boots
Do you have plain nude tights?
I think black would go best
Neither. I vote with black or boots as mentioned above.
Red. But bonus option: black chunky ankle boots
Idk about the shoes (I'd do black heels or high boots), but I think the plaid skirt and floral lace stockings are clashing. Maybe go with a solid color. ❤️
Solid tights. Right now, those tights aren’t appropriate. Neither is the skirt tbh. I’d do a black tight and black boots. Do you have a different outfit?
You either get a solid skirt or solid stockings, those two don't work together. I like the red shoes. They would look good with sheer black stockings and the skirt.
Tights need to go. Tall black leather boots would look best😘
Plain black tights and black mary jane shoes
The white ones!
Not the white ones
Swap the tights for black ones, and save these red for a solid print skirt. They are competing in a bad way with the skirt and shoes.
So you have any black shoes?
Honestly I would wear a red top and red heels for a monochrome look
The tights are very unflattering. They create an undesirable optical illusion.
Black shoes, black tights, and black sweater if you have one.
Your tights are the wrong color, and the pattern competes with the pattern on the skirt.
Love your skirt. 😊
Switch the tights out for black w/o a pattern
If those are your only choices, then I prefer the white shoes. It ties the top with the bottom.
First
change the tights. those lace tights don’t go with the tartan skirt.
Red. Or boots! No white shoes after Labor Day 😂😂😂
Correct answer is black boots
Red
Neither. Lose the red lace tights & go for black sheer, & then the red shoes might work
Booties or boots. The proportions are all wrong with heels or flats.
Red are better here. White shoes draw too much attention.
The tights are all wrong. Neither shoe shown. Sorry.
Red is better than white.
Lose the tights. Solid black would be much better
It’s the tights. They’re a conflicting pattern with the skirt. Wear plain black tights and black shoes
Hate them both, love the outfit. How about booties
Red.
Try black tights and a boot
Red
Swap the tights for black ones and go with black shoes
Red!
Nix the lacy tights; opt for black tights or leggings and black shoes.
Red!!!! ✨✨✨
I’d do black but if it’s red v white only then do white. Nude hose would he better, the burgundy is fighting the red.
I think white suits you very well. Which one did you wear?
red. the white shoes make a very intense color sandwich that doesn’t flatter you or the outfit!
Those hosiery doesn’t match the skirt so both shoes look bad.
Any shoe without those tights. Please wear a solid colour tight!!! I’m begging you it would look fab with a solid colour tight!
Different tights. Black slightly sheer tights with black knee length boots
Black shoes or boots
The tights must go they actually have a hole, plus clash with skirt. The skirt should go too, for many reasons. Neither shoes, if you’re keeping the tights and the skirt.

The white shoes would look great because they create a nice balance with your top. The red shoes get a bit lost against the red skirt and patterned tights. White would really make the outfit pop😊
The stockings and skirt clash. No one will notice your shoes.
Definitely not white!!! Don’t wear white shoes in the fall or winter! The red shoes are cute but there is too Much red/burgundy in succession
The white shoes would look great because they create a nice balance with your top. The red shoes get a bit lost against the red skirt and patterned tights. White would really make the outfit pop😊
You obviously like your outfit. White are a sharp contrast to the black tights. It's the holidays so go with red and have a blast. 🎄
Do you have any just regular sheer tights?
The tights aren’t good
Red
Neither of them really go with the outfit, but I would pick the red or find a good pair of black boots.
Red!
On this I think black will be good for you 😀
Red
Ma'am, none of those shoes.
Ditch the hose and wear black tights - sheer or opaque (doesn't matter).
Further, put on some black booties or boots.
This compilation you've put together is not working.
Red. The white looks weird with the tights. I think if you ditched the patterned tights it would be better
White
Ditch the lacy tights. Not good.
The tights and shoes really don’t work. Do black tights and black shoes.
Too much going on with patterned tights and tartan as well. The burgundy colour of the tights doesn't match the skirt either. Black tights and black boots would look better.
Those tights and that skirt do not look good together
Certainly the red. I suggest Switching to plain black tights.
Red shoes but different tights
Of the two, I prefer the red ones. ☺️
I like the red shoes a lot !!!
Skirt is great, but the tights aren’t working. Do you have any plain tights?
Pick a pattern, plaid or tights, not both
Absolutely the red ones.
The tights don’t work with that skirt. Too much is happening.
yes, the tights are wrong. solid black would be better.
a pair of black boots
