What accessory is affordable, can completely transform your outfit and keeps your legs warm as the cooler weather blows in?
Let’s talk legwear. It’s October already, so it’s time to kick some tights into high gear. If you pair them with your favorite summer dresses, you can wear those frocks right through fall. Alternatively, layer tights under a pair of shorts, and pull on some boots or heels a la Katie Holmes for an instant rocker chick vibe.
A red-hot trend right now is colored tights with heels. Though opaque black is a classic (and slimming) look for work and weekend alike, a little holiday indulgence may have you wanting to wear a style that features a tummy control panel.
Patterned tights are perfect for evening and weekends. When it comes to a delicate pattern like lace, try them with something less feminine for fun—like a boyfriend blazer and denim miniskirt, or a slouchy sweater dress.
Sheer hosiery is making a something of a comeback. In fact, many are already taking a page out of Kate Middleton’s lookbook, so it won’t be a surprise if American women fully embrace the returning trend. When shopping for sheer hose, find a pair that’s neither too matte and milky, nor too distractingly shimmery.
The only real rules of the tights game: they look best with closed-toe shoes, and by all means, avoid white tights, a look that’s best left to nurses and toddlers.
