4 FRESH WAYS TO TIGHTEN UP YOUR STYLE!

Fashionistas, it’s that time of the year you’ve held out to the final second, bared those legs a few weeks longer, but it’s officially time for “Tis the season of tights!” The good news is that just because it’s fall doesn’t mean you have to ditch your skirts or short dresses, but you can still hold on tightly to all that itsy bitsy clothing by rocking a pair of tights.  From classic opaque to something sheer to naughty lace to retro fishnets, it’s a tight race, but I managed to narrow 4 fresh ways to tighten up your style!  Read on there’s a tight look for everyone to get legs wet!

BLACK OUT

Get ready this fall for the black out of a century, one that is slowly creeping into your dresser!   So obviously I’m not talking an electrical blackout , but I’m talking a full on black out of tights!  Like a timeless lbd,  black tights, commonly known as the classic opaque are probably the easiest tights to wear everyday. Whether you want show off the perfect colored heel or want to wear under a black and white ensemble you can’t go wrong.

SHEER SELECTIVELY

For those of you that sheer selectively when choosing tight looks, watch out for sheer tights because they have definitely made a huge come back this fall. Whether you opt for sheer nude, beige, tan, black, brown, or even crème get ready to be on the A-list with these tights! Unlike the classic opaque which acts more like a canvas to highlight a shoe and pairs well with ultra short skirts, and dresses, with sheer tights it’s better to opt for bolder and  longer skirts and dresses as the centerpiece when building your look.

LACE UP

In the tight race of fashion it’s always best to lace up before darting off into the crowd! This is one tight you definitely can lead others in making a style statement. Whether you want to lace up with skorts like I did, or with a bodycon style dress the possibilities are endless.  When wearing lace tights it’s best to stick to solid color pieces because it creates a perfect balance, where as if your wearing a busy pattern the eye is going to compete between the two.  I did just that by pairing a solid color grey skort with a burgundy sleeveless high neck top. I completed my look and added an extra oomph of edge with a black bootie that included a buckle and side cutout. 

FISHIN FOR COMPLIMENTS

The easiest way to get pat on the back or praise is by rocking a pair of fishnets! Rather than fishin for compliments let the tights do all the fishing. Fishnet tights are great to be paired with easy neutral looks like a little black dress or solid color neutrals. Remember don’t mix a busy pattern or heavily textured tights with an equally busy top, dress, or skirt.  The tights should add a bit of pop or subtle sexiness, not look like a bunch of pieces jumbled together.
