How to wear tights with style

Claudia schiffer

We all have at least one pair of thick stockings in the drawer. They are the most helpful, the most stylish, they fit with everything … but there is life beyond. Surely you always wear them with tube skirts and black dresses, but as the German model shows, they can also be worn with party dresses in metallic tones.

Black and bushy

It does not hurt to have some extra pair in case they break because surely you will take advantage of them.

The socialite shows that stockings can be worn with high-heeled sandals. Of course, they have to be black, like the footwear, and semi-transparent. They greatly stylize the figure and give a very sophisticated air.

Semi-transparent

They are the most classic of all and now they are fully up to date. They are very sexy and are more elegant with party dresses than the bushy ones.

Of course, if we want to vary a bit, we can also use models with the same density but with an ornament or discreet pattern such as polka dots in different sizes.

With spots

They are more versatile than it sounds. You can wear them in night looks and also wear them in your day to day with outfits based on basic colors.

An alternative to dots are heart prints. These stockings are perfect to go out to party with your friends or even to go to work if they do not require a too formal look.

The journalist shows us that fancy stockings can be worn very elegantly. In her case, they are a pair of Calzedonia star stockings, which she combines with a mini with a matching jacket.

Starry Night

We love star tights in nighttime looks. If you choose gold, like these, combine them with jewelry or some garment in the same color.

Fishnet stockings are super trendy this season. If you are not careful they can be somewhat vulgar but do not be afraid to mix them with printed dresses as long as their base color is black.

Grid

They are the most sensual stockings of all, the bad thing is that they are not too warm.

Or mini grid

That's why mini grids were invented. It is actually a diamond pattern that has an effect similar to that of the grid but without leaving the skin exposed.

Fishnet stockings are also renewed with applications and decorations. We love these with pearls, one of the must of this season in all kinds of garments.

Fishnet + beads

Of course, as they are so special, it is better to reserve them for night events. They go great with Little Black Dresses and black stilettos .

Another option for your night outings in the middle of winter are stockings with shiny dots in silver tones. These are easier to combine so dare to wear them with red shoes or ankle boots.

These types of stockings remind us of those worn by the great movie stars of the 40s. The back seam gives them a very sensual and mysterious air and the polka dots add a touch of fun.

Do you dare to cross the red line?

We love these panties. They are super original! For the night, wear them with total black looks and during the day with a denim skirt and a red or black sweater.

Fashion publishers, influencers, and red carpets seem to have launched a crusade against tights , but we mortals need to wear them when it's as cold as now. Getting them right is not always an easy task, especially considering the number of different models that stores offer us . For this reason, we have looked at how famous women wear them (yes, some use them even if it does not seem like it) and we have drawn several conclusions about how we can wear them with a lot of style.

Keys to wear socks and get it right

The black ones are the most flattering. Celebrity word; They only wear stockings of that color and that stylizes the figure much more than any other and is also easier to combine. If you still want to try other shades, we recommend dark gray and garnet.
Density is everything . For several seasons they have only worn thick stockings but now they coexist with semitransparent ones . They may be slightly less warm but they look much prettier on the legs.
Tattoo effect. Hybrid pantyhose are also worn, that is, those that are thick up to above the knee and then semi-transparent. In this cut they can incorporate elements such as hearts that are only seen if you accompany them with mini skirts.
Grid . The fishnet measures have recovered their glamorous air, leaving aside their more casual aspect. They can be worn with patterned dresses as long as their base color is black. In addition, these stockings now also incorporate applications such as pearls, very suitable for evening events.
Moles . Stockings with polka dots or plumetis have become a must. They can be worn both day and night and always with black minis or as Eugenia Silva does, with party dresses.
Fantasy . They are the queens of the most informal and nocturnal looks. They are worn with star prints, brillibrilli or contrasting lines in other colors.

And how not to wear them

As important as combining socks well is knowing when NOT to put them on under any circumstances. Flesh-colored stockings are very dangerous and should never be worn with sandals. The effect of the fingers tucked into the stockings peeking through the openings of the sandals ruins even the most elegant look.

If your problem is that your legs look too white or with marks, you can mix your moisturizer with a few drops of liquid makeup base and spread it well so that they are not noticed.
