Tights are a woman's secret weapon. They shape your legs while cleverly concealing unshaven, bruised, scraped, ashy or pale skin. From fun colors to sexy sheen, try these style tips to love your legs in a variety of tights.
Basic Black
A thick pair of opaque, black tights provides a simple way to tone down bright colors and loud prints in cold weather months. Bold, leopard spots are hot off the runway this fall, and pairing a look-at-me leopard dress or skirt with solid black tights is the perfect way to wear this trend in the real world. Bonus: You can feel confident in that mini because your rear and any panty lines are fully covered.
Chic Colors!
Yes, you can wear colored tights and still look chic. But no, that does mean you can pull off any color under the rainbow. Balance is key. For a look you can wear at the office, add a pop of color to a basic black shift dress with a pair of cobalt tights. Crimson is a stylish yet safe choice for just about everyone. Pull on crimson tights under denim blue shorts and a plaid button-up for a cozy, casual fall outfit.
Printed Patterns
Showcase your fashion personality with patterned tights. When you're feeling a little preppy, let out your inner schoolgirl with some classic plaid or houndstooth tights under an accordion pleated skirt or denim dress. If rockabilly is more your mood, polka dot tights are perfect with high-waisted retro shorts and a fitted cardigan. Lace, in black or white, is ideal for floral cotton dresses, leather skirt!
Sexy Sheer
Sheer black tights combined with black high heels is the definition of sexy for two reasons: The monochromatic black on black tricks the eye into adding height and the sheer sheen shows just a hint of skin underneath. Whether you're going out in a little black cocktail dress or a comfy white sweater dress, black sheer tights add a little sexy sophistication to your outfit.
