Tights are not pantyhose, let's get that first. Tights do not count as your grandma's hosiery, nor as the hosiery of your younger sister. (The pair with the frill on the butt.) There are many more flattering patterns than just the tan boring ones your grandmother has worn or the frilly butt pair that your mom insisted your sister should wear for Easter. Now, where to start?
Black tights are still the classic choice, pairing them with colorful shoes and accessories. But if you're feeling more adventurous, add some color or choose opaque style. Remember! Keep it simple, don't over-do the patterns, no one wants to look like a circus performer. Also, never EVER wear white tights, though. You also are not a mime.
Now comes the hard question of shoes. What type look the best?
Usually, chunky heels look good with opaque tights, so choose a chunkier heel when wearing more opaque feeling tights. If you lean towards more peep-toes, you can choose a ribbed tight, just because it gives the look more depth, especially if it is winter in Wisconsin. Boots are totally in this season as well, so if you are wondering what kind of hosiery looks the best with high boots, most say more wool brands of hose, just to keep with the relevant theme...cold weather. Now that December is fast approaching, which means Wisconsin blistery, blustery days are ahead.
