Baby, it’s cold outside! If this weather has you reaching for two pairs
of socks, a blanket and tam just to go to sleep, chances are your
regular wardrobe isn’t cutting it in the daytime either.
Stay
warm and effortlessly transition your summer dresses, skirts and shorts
into fall and winter with some of the hottest legwear trends this
season.
From bold opaque tights to over-the-knee socks, your legs
will take center stage in these affordable and oh-so-chic fall and
winter favorites.
Colored Opaque Tights
Black opaque
tights are a wardrobe staple, especially when the temperature starts to
dip. For an eye-catching twist on a classic, opt for colored opaque
tights instead of the traditional black. Warm jewel tones such as navy
blue, purple, and burgundy look divine for the fall and winter and will
compliment many of the colors already in your wardrobe.
Wearing opaque tights is easier than you think.
Try
matching your tights and shoes. Matching your opaque tights to the
color of your shoes is a nifty trick to make your legs look long and
lean.
Cozy tights and knits. A simple sweater dress and opaque
tights should be the official outfit for fall. Flattering and cozy, it’s
the perfect look to herald the arrival of cool weather.

Over the Knee Socks
If
the thought of wearing tall socks takes you back to elementary school,
think again. You can achieve a myriad of looks from flirty to
sophisticated with a great pair of over-the-knee socks and the right
apparel accompaniments.
Try them with shorts. Over the knee socks
are often paired with skirts and dresses. For a ‘grown-up’ twist, pair
ribbed over-the-knee socks with cuffed herringbone print shorts and a
classic button down blouse. Cuffed shorts make the look clean and
tailored while the herringbone print adds sophistication.
Go
Mod. If you’re feeling a little nostalgic, create a mod look with your
over the knee socks. Pair them with a classic shift dress and mary janes
for a look that’s au courant and office appropriate.
Metallics
A
little sparkle makes everything more festive. If you’re on the fence
about donning metallic tights, stick with gray or black for a subtle
silver shimmer.
Jazz up an LBD. With the holiday season here,
your little black dress is probably your most worn wardrobe workhorse.
Adding metallic tights and ankle booties is a quick way to change the
look of your tried and true LBD and make it edgy for a night on the
town.
Patterned Tights
Stripes, dots and checks take
traditional tights to higher heights this fall and winter. When wearing
patterned tights, your legs are the star of the show. Make your apparel
the supporting cast by sticking to solids and neutrals. A great rule of
thumb is to match your outfit to one of the statement colors in your
patterned tights.
Try it with a mini. If you’ve been longing to
wear a mini skirt but worry about showing too much skin, opaque
patterned tights are your savior. Opaque patterned tights add extra
coverage when wearing a mini, for a look that’s both sexy and classy.
Make the look even more hot by pairing it with platform pumps for ‘look
at me’ gams.
You can make your summer favorites cool weather
ready by adding one or two legwear trends into your wardrobe mix. Chic
and trendy, tights and socks can completely alter the look of an outfit
for just a few bucks.
