Winter Dressing Just Got a Lot More Interesting Thanks to These Statement Tights

January 17, 2019

While colored tights are still a thing, for January we’re all about making more of a statement. From logo clad to a little pattern play, we demand our tights live up to the rest of our wardrobes. Scene-stealing tights are our not-so-secret weapons for adding a layer of warmth to our winter ensembles. And they allow us to get away with wearing miniskirts, shorts and the ever-popular prairie dresses despite the chilly temps. If you’re sticking strictly with tights, opt for cotton blends or full-on wool iterations. Planning on making more of a subdued statement? Slip on sheer varieties under distressed jeans or maxi skirts for pops of drama. Here are the coolest tights to show off and stay warm in this winter.
