Ah, tights. A necessary evil during the winter months? Based on the number of questions we get about tights: YUP. And tights are…tricky. Tights can either be the quickest way to ruin an outfit — OR — they can also make an outfit more interesting.
So. In this video, we pulled in Laura (our biggest critic of tights) and Jeni (our wildly creative designer) to see if the three of us could pull together some outfits that legitimately look good with tights. Truth be told, Laura came kicking and screaming…but in the end, she pulled together the freaking best outfits with tights (SEE, LAURA??).
So. Here’s our best advice on how to wear tights. How to make thick black tights work with all outfits, when to wear sheer tights, the best way to rock patterned tights, and what the heck(??!!) to do with colorful tights.
We tried, guys. We really tried. (For more ideas, see sexy tights for the holidays here).
