From Chills to Thrills: How Hosiery Has Saved Our Souls This Winter Season

Hosiery you never knew you needed.

POSTED BY BETH GREENOUGH

Heading into the colder holiday season, the main goal when dressing ourselves is usually to keep warm but ensuring to do this without sacrificing our style in the process. It can be easy to lose your fashion identity under all those layers of knitted sweaters, puffer coats and wool scarfs. Fear not, you don’t need to pack those mini skirts, dresses or shorts away into storage just yet. Textured tights, pantyhose and thigh-high hosiery are arguably leading this season’s winter fashion accessory. Saving us from exposing those bare legs but still looking cute in the process. 

Textured tights are a statement piece, they have become a major trend over these recent weeks. From high end to main street, you will certainly be able to find a pair perfect for your wardrobe and your wallet. Styled with either your favourite skirt, mini dress or leather shorts the list just goes on. All of which will pair perfectly with your hosiery to create a cool, stylish outfit.

 

 

Accessorizing has become even more fun, with a wide range of textured tights and thigh-highs to choose from. They can be found in various colours and patterns, from lace to bows to diamante. You don’t need to stick to a safe monotone colour theme, you can give your winter wardrobe a splash of spice with your statement hosiery. 

Not only do textured tights provide style, they’re also very long lasting. They feel much more superior to other tights, as they appear to offer a little more movement. They’re super easy to put on without laddering or ripping, which we all know can sometimes be a difficult task with tights. 

I have been gathering my personal inspiration for lace tights and thigh-highs from some fashion content creators. Giving myself ideas on how to style them, it has shown me just how versatile they are. 

 

 

 

Some of my current favorite hosiery comes from a blend of luxury designer brands and mainstream stores. My favorite designer pieces include:

  • SAINT LAURENT High-rise lace tights, priced at $2,390 and available at MYTHERESA.
  • GUCCI jacquard-knit tights, priced at $380 and available at NET-A-PORTER.
  • MIU MIU Nylon Tights, priced at $360 and available at MIU MIU.

All of these options are sure to add a spring to your step and elevate any outfit when styled correctly. Of course, I also have some favorite mainstream choices:

  • Openwork Detail Tights, priced at $25.99 and available at MANGO.
  • Patricia Stockings Dundee, available at POSTER GIRL for $54.

Both of these selections exude luxury but come at a fraction of the cost, making you feel like a million dollars.
