With cooler weather on the way, tights will be making their winter comeback and, this season, there are so many ways to wear them. The right choice of tights can transform an outfit, and Pretty Polly have such a good selection that there is bound to be something for every occasion.
Tights are the finishing touch to an outfit and, these days, are as important as jewellery, with styles, patterns, and colours to match.
A great current trend is to wear tights under shorts; whether tailored shorts for the office or casual for leisure, this is a very fashionable look. Black opaque tights look great with denim shorts, but just as good with a bold-coloured mini-skirt and some colourful shoes. Long gone are the days when girls were told that shoes should match tights – nowadays they can contrast completely. A great way to brighten up winter weather is to wear a plain pair of tights, say in a navy blue, with, perhaps, a pair of hot pink shoes or boots. With patterned tights – and these can be in any design from floral, to fishnet, to dogtooth or tartan – many different looks can be achieved.
Of course, tights are not just for show. In the colder weather, especially in the depths of a harsh winter, they add a comforting extra layer, so are useful to wear under long skirts and dresses. They may not show, but the wearer will certainly feel the benefit.
Tights come in many thicknesses, too, so it is easy to find lightweight ones for summer, and heavier ones for winter. The trend for opaque tights continues; one reason for this is that they are warmer and, being more robust, less inclined to develop holes and ladders. Another reason is that, because they are dense, they hide problem areas and give a streamlined look to any outfit.
These days there is no reason for anyone not to dress with confidence if they include the perfect pair of tights in the outfit they choose to wear.
