In the past, tights came in one colour and one colour only – black. Though black tights are called for in many outfits they can get slightly boring if you turn to them time and again, which is why the fashion tight is a phenomenon that is here to stay. These tights usually come with bright floral prints, geometric patterns or simple designs but they can really bring your outfit to life and make it much more memorable. Whether you wear them to parties, in the workplace or simply while you are out and about, fashion tights won’t be going out of fashion any time soon.
One of the most popular types of fashion tights are actually high denier and black up until the mid-thigh, where they turn opaque and have a fake suspender strap leading upwards. When worn with a mini skirt this can easily give the illusion of suspenders, although they are obviously tights and so add a touch of humour.
It is the modern woman’s equivalent of drawing seams along the backs of the legs as women did during the Second World War, although they did it out of necessity.
There are many other types of fashion tights available though, including ones with stars or hearts on, skull and crossbones or simple polka dots. You can also get fashion tights with prints on, which are huge this season. Animal print is one of the most popular prints available right now and there are lots of different styles of leopard print fashion tights that you can buy online. Other prints are also in fashion at the moment though, including floral.
Wearing a pair of fashion tights with a plain dress will make your outfit jump out right away, but you should remember to never mix prints or other designs.
For example, if you have striped tights on, don’t wear a striped jumper. Also, animal print and floral print do not mix well, so avoid the two together at all costs.
If you would rather not wear tights on a certain day you can always switch them out for leggings. This legwear works perfectly as a suitable alternative for fashion tights and they too come with a variety of prints on, as well as ranging from all colours under the sun. Wet look leggings are ideal for nights out and can be worn with loose long tops, shirt dresses or crop tops to give you a sexy edge and draw attention to your midriff.
