These navy tights under my navy vertical striped pencil skirt created lots of length, but I still couldn’t resist the extra height so I wore my leopard print stilettos (I’m barely 5’3″ I need every inch I can get) Remember to create the illusion of longer legs wear the same color hosiery as your bottom half and or shoe; this trompe l’oeil (trick of the eye) makes one continuous vertical line to follow and voila! Instant height.
Orange is a great pop for navy. Navy is actually a horrible color on me, but the trick is when a color is unflattering to your skintone,. just keep it away from your face, the orange brings out the warmth and the navy just stays a neutral in the background.
