Style Guide: 6 Fresh Ways To Wear Tights This Season
Tights are cute, comfy, and an important part of many winter outfits. But tights aren’t just for keeping warm; they can be a stylish choice that let you remix a favorite outfit, add extra color and texture to a simple ensemble, or easily take a look from day to night. And while you can wear a pair of black tights and call it a day (seriously, black tights look good with everything), there are lots of chic, creative ways to wear tights with your favorite dresses, skirts, and even shorts.
And this season, adding tights to your outfit isn’t just practical and stylish, it’s iconic. L’eggs, the renowned American hosiery brand founded in 1969, is officially relaunched–and available on Lulus! Built to support women as they entered the workforce for the first time, L’eggs offered hosiery solutions like run resistant technology and memory yarn at an accessible price. Like Lulus, it’s a brand that has always been synonymous with female empowerment and attainable luxury. Because, well, women deserve nothing less.
Whether you’re going for a chic Old Money aesthetic or opting for an extra glam look for the holidays, the options at Lulus abound. Need some inspiration? Ahead, see how to style tights your way.
Patterned Tights
Patterned tights instantly add texture and interest to an outfit. Classic patterns like plaid and houndstooth give any outfit a touch of preppy sophistication, and flirty florals and polka dots take classic solid back from simple to stunning.
Colored Tights
There are several ways you can go with colored tights! You can take a monochrome approach to add extra polish to an outfit. For example, a red dress with red tights and heels makes a bold statement–especially for the holidays. Or you can play with contrast, like adding a pop of color to a neutral outfit with vibrant tights.
Lace Tights
Lace tights are an effortless way to add a sweet, feminine touch to your outfit. If you’re a fan of the coquette look, these are definitely a wardrobe staple for you! But they’re also a great way to add extra dimension to an outfit. Pairing a solid dress with the texture of lace tights is a super cute contrast that lets you play up the sweetness of your ensemble.
Shorts with Tights
Wearing tights under your shorts is a fun, retro Y2K look that lets you wear shorts even when the weather cools down! Try tights with short overalls for a cute cottagecore vibe, or denim shorts for a fun, sporty look.
Rhinestone Tights
Rhinestone tights add an extra pop of glitzy glamor that can make an outfit shine! Tiny spangles give your tights an all-over shimmer that’s perfect for a party or a night out. Wear a pair with a velvet dress and heels, and you have an effortless outfit for your next holiday soiree.
Sheer Socks
Don’t want to commit to the full pantyhose thing? Try knee-high or over the knee sheer socks with classic Mary Janes, loafers, or closed-toe pumps for an elegant look that’s perfect for the office, school, or anywhere else you want to dress to impress. Bonus: You’ll get the look of tights without the when it comes time to use the ladies’ room!
