How To Rock Patterned Tights

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Saint Mary's chapter.

 

What better way is there to make a statement than with some bold patterned tights?  Sometimes it can be hard to figure out the best way to wear tights with intricate patterns, and find the perfect outfit to pair them with, so I found some of my favorite pairings to inspire some creative ideas!

Combat Boots:

With black patterned tights, you can’t go wrong with some simple black combat boots! The patterns will really pop, and the boots are a comfortable style choice for a day of running from place to place. This option is a more casual way to wear patterned tights, but still adds a fun element to the outfit.

 

Dressed Up:

Another way to use fun tights for a style choice are with more formal outfits. With the right choice of patterned tights, such as the ones above, the elegance of an outfit can be emphasized. I would recommend using more simple patterns for dressed up looks, so that the pattern does not over accessorize the outfit. With a combination of a simple black dress, and some chunky black heels, tights can be the perfect addition for formal events!

 

Layers:

With the cold weather coming our way, tights can be the perfect way to transform a dress or skirt into a warmer option for fall and winter. With some brown or taupe colored patterns, and some brown fall boots, an outfit can instantly be warmed up for chilly temperatures. Add a scarf and a cardigan for even more cute layers!

 

Under Ripped Jeans:

This trend is one of the newer ones I have noticed, and it’s a real game changer. When paired with ripped jeans or shorts, patterned tights can look super cute! By layering some white lace tights with some light distressed jeans, the outfit can be completely changed. Trying this new style will definitely make you stand out this fall! Give it a try!

Patterned tights are definitely rising in today’s latest trends! There are so many fun ways to wear them and they are very inexpensive. Try them out! If you have fun with your pairings and ideas, you can’t go wrong!
