Some say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. While this may be true for three quarters of the year, I must argue that in winter, tights are a girl’s best friend. They allow us girls to wear cute skirts in the wintertime without dying from the wind chill that feels as though we are venturing through the Arctic. What I have learned from living in the ever-gray city that is London, is that tights are essential for anyone’s wardrobe. They come in a variety of colors and prints that give you options in your style choices. Tights are perfect for incorporating your new spring dresses a tad early into your outfits because we all get anxious to show off our newest pieces for the upcoming season.
This Fashionista had on the cutest pair of tights I have ever seen. She worked a pair of dark tights with foxes on them; something that many girls could not even imagine pulling off. While some might be afraid to take chances and risk wearing animals on their posh clothing, this girl had no such reservations—and she owned it! In addition to the tights, she wore a white button-up with an A-line black skirt. Her skirt had an embossed floral print, which contrasted her crisp top. To accessorize, she wore a diamond-esque necklace and simple headband. She wrapped up her look in a black coat and booties, with bright red lipstick to finish it off.
Take a few pointers from this Fashionista and experiment with different tights. You could try a new print or bright color. Do not be afraid to take risks and always go with what makes you feel the most confident.
How To: Start with a pair of tights that speak to you and pick the rest of your outfit with those in mind. Sticking to neutrals is a sure way to keep the outfit about the tights. Add complementary accessories and a pair of heels, and you are ready to take on the day!
