Black Tights Are Chic, But These 6 Colours Will Make You Look Much Trendier

Up until now, tights have never been a focal part of my wardrobe. While I reach for them often, I normally do so out of practicality. Of course, they look chic, but I wear them because I have to—not because I particularly want to.

But, this season my relationship with this underrated garment has entirely changed—highly influenced by chic colourful tights outfits I've been spotting all over my FYP this winter. Forgoing simple black styles, influencers, editors and celebrities are opting for a growing range of rainbow shades instead.

Injecting their outfits with a fresh pop of colour—without overcomplicating their looks—these colourful tights instil a playful energy into every ensemble in an easy but impactful way. If you're also craving a small dose of colour right now, read on to discover the colourful tights that fashion people are styling this winter.
