The £8 Styling Hack Influencers, Celebs and Editors Are All Buying This Season
Whether you like it or not, tights weather is upon us. The sun has clocked off its shift and winter's cold breeze is only getting stronger. And whilst you might cringe at the thought of hoisting up an old pair of tights, this season's styles aren't what you'd expect. Saying goodbye to the solid black and beige tones that used to dominate the market, this year, the most stylish dressers are reaching for flashy tights in bright shades and striking patterns.
We've already spotted Victoria Beckham dressing up her LBD in a very chic pair of patterned fishnet tights, and for their retro associations and sultry finish, it seems fishnets are back with a vengeance this season, ready to dress up the party outfits of the fashion set.
Spotted on many a showgoer during Paris Fashion Week, 2023's tights are the easy styling trick that has swiftly emerged as the in-the-know accessories trend to shop this side of winter.
Quite literally dipping her toe into the coloured-tights trend earlier this autumn, fashion influencer Lucy Williams wore a bright red pair with trending leather mary janes and an oversized leather jacket. Working the statement tights into her casual look, Williams demonstrated their surprising versatility.
To get in there first and elevate your festive-season looks, read on to shop our edit of the coolest tights to buy now.
