If the last few seasons of fashion shows have taught us anything, it’s that sheer is here. The world of tights can seem intimidating or even old-fashioned, but brands like Wolford and Fogal are making the wardrobe staple anything but. On the runways, Valentino, Nensi Dojaka, and Victoria Beckham are just a few brands that have brought the best tights further into the fold. That sheer Mugler bodysuit you’ve been seeing on fashion It-girls everywhere? You can thank the influence of hosiery for that—and even copy the look yourself.
One of the easiest ways to make a look go from drab to fab is with a fun pair of tights. Colors, logos, lace, fishnet or just classic Wolford Twenties can instantly elevate a mini skirt or even an oversized T-shirt dress. Use this winter to turn the underwear-as-outerwear trend into a practical fashion statement with our favorite tights for women below.
