Ah, tights- the love/hate relationship we all have with them! As the weather gets colder, they become our saviours, keeping us warm and hiding any imperfections ( who needs the hassle of fake tan right?). But let’s be honest they haven’t always been the epitome of chicness.
However, times have changed, my friends! Patterned tights have become one of the easiest ways to make a statement with an otherwise ordinary outfit. Just take a look at Chanel, Gucci, and Fendi’s coveted logo-printed tights that took social media by storm. They’re the perfect way to wear your favorite designer label and ironically they are now notoriously difficult to get hold of. But fear not, because the high street has plenty of equally stylish options to elevate your look.
And guess who’s been rocking these patterned tights? Our favorite celebrities, of course! Chiara Ferragni, Olivia Rodrigo, Hailey Beiber, and Scarlett Johansson to name but a few. These ladies know how to make a fashion statement.
So, what’s the secret to rocking patterned tights? Let them have the spotlight and keep the rest of your outfit fairly simple. A Fishnet tight is a classic example of how to wear a patterned tight that will take you from the office to date night. If you’re not a mini dress kind of girl try styling fishnet tights under a midi dress or under a baggy pair of ripped jeans.
Pretty little things has the perfect festive tights that feature all-over diamante embellishments, a flattering high-rise waist, and a comfy elasticated waistband. Style them with a mini skirt or shorts and pair them with ballet flats or Mary Janes for a preppy look this party season.
Another trend in tights this season is the messaged tights, yes you heard right, tights with little written messages. If you’ve ever wondered what your leg would look like with tattoos but aren’t quite ready to make the commitment yet these are a fun way to test out the water. It’s also perfect to wear on days when you’re quite simply, not in the mood and would rather your tights do the taking for you. At Caledonia, they have made that a lot easier for you. These were our favorites.
And one of my favorite tight trends this winter is the bow. It started with bows on our clothes, then in our hair and accessories, bows are having a big moment, especially on TikTok and Instagram. So it makes total sense that we are seeing them on our tights as a tight trend, whether as a small detail on the back or full-on bow prints.
Also, we’re going back to basics this winter. Black slightly transparent tights are big this season – not only on the runway but also IRL. Which is great because they are so easy and versatile to style.
We’ve picked a few of the most stylish pairs to shop this season, from polka dot to diamante to logo adorned tights, brands like Gucci , Wolford, Calzedonia and FALKE have got you covered!
