Break the style rules of winter by proving that tights will still keep you both warm and stylish.
Opaque Black
No matter what the season demands of your wardrobe, make sure to have a pair of opaque tights on hand. Not only are they suitable for all seasons and wearable for any occasion, they have the power to transform any outfit from basic to edgy. To make a statement this season, pair them with a flared skirt, chiffon top or, of course, the classic and sexy sequined New Year’s Eve dress.
Solid Colors
Bold, colorful tights are the perfect accessories. With colors like green and red, baby blue and snow white, you can make your outfits look more festive and reflective of the holiday season. To be on the safe side, you can pair bold colors, such as yellow, with more neutral tones or match your tights with a color featured in your chosen outfit. For those who love to be bold, wear ankle socks, ankle-strap heels or a patterned ensemble.
Metallic
Popular for their distinct color, metallic tights are the perfect way to make a grand entrance. The unique style allows you to take advantage of the holiday vibes while appearing effortlessly fabulous. Its perfect pairings are a warm, baby blue sweater, matching shorts set or a pair of cute booties in cool tones.
Sheer
Sheer tights are a year-round essential for every wardrobe. Their simplicity and subtle boldness flatter every body type and add the right amount of sexiness to every outfit. In contrast to other tights, sheer tights come in studded and crystalized and are mainly paired with solid colors as opposed to daring prints.
Fishnet
If you’re into taking risks this winter, then fishnet tights are the perfect selection for you. Known for their playful and fun design, the fishnet will create the right amount of contrast to make your outfit the life of the party. Its best modern pairings are a blazer dress, a pencil skirt or a pair of over-the-knee boots.
