Who says just because the temperature is going lower, your hemline has to follow? With tons of different tights in a plethora of styles and patterns displayed in stores this year, you can keep those skin-baring skirts and dresses in your wardrobe year-round by styling up your shorter pieces with a great pair of tights. Throw on these leg-warming staples whenever you feel like showing off a little leg during the cooler months.
Classic in Opaque

Cozy up to Texture
We love sweater weather! But just because you’re wearing your favorite cable knits on your sleeves doesn’t mean you can’t wear them on your legs as well. Adding knit tights to your outfit is a great way to add a little texture—an extra dimension that will instantly take your outfit to a whole new level of comfy-chic! Pair these tights with a patterned dress, solid dress or sweater dress. You really can’t go wrong!

Color Crave
Just because the leaves have lost their color doesn’t mean your wardrobe has to! Colored tights can be a great addition to your winter wardrobe for two reasons: 1) Wearing a stylish pair of colored tights is an easy way to add a festive color into a holiday outfit, and 2) colored tights can effortlessly brighten up dark sweaters and coats that are classic to the cooler months.

Sheer Goodness
During the winter months, you may need to add a little heat to your wardrobe! Spice up this chilly season with a pair of sheer tights that will allow you to show off just the right amount of skin. Sheer tights look best under a skirt or dress with a little added texture. Slip them on under a sequin skirt for a festive holiday outfit.

Playful Patterns
Don’t let your dresses and skirts for the winter months match the gloomy weather outside. Instead, incorporate fun tights with lively patterns whenever you feel your cold-weather wear getting a little drab. When dressing up this style of vivacious legwear, pair with a dress or skirt that is simpler in color but rich in texture for a chic, stylish look.
