Build An Outfit Based On Your Tights

As a kid, you probably remember tights as those annoying, uncomfortable things you had to wear during the holidays to keep your legs warm. But now, tights are about to become your new favorite fall/winter accessory. 

Colorful, funky printed tights are the hottest trend this fall/winter, and a surefire way to elevate your look. In the 60s, tights revolutionized women’s fashion—icons like Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton rocking them in their mini skirt—and they’re still making a bold statement today. Here’s four outfits built from pairs of groovy tights that will ensure an effortlessly editorial look, all while keeping your legs warm.

  1. Your Little Black Dress Just Became A Little More Bold

These rosie teal tights are the perfect way to take your little black dress to the next level. A simple dress like this can be worn with a vibrant variety of tights, giving your outfit a new meaning every time. Finishing the look with a simple black platform heel balances the look, while still having that pop of color.
