Now that the weather is chillier, I’ve been noticing a lot of ladies wearing one of winter’s favorite accessories: tights! Say goodbye to matronly nude pantyhose and hellooo to showing a little colored leg.
In theory, I love the colored tight trend. A pop of color adds playfulness to a otherwise drab outfit, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t the tiniest bit intimidated by this bold trend. Looking down and seeing my gams wrapped up in bright cobalt tights is… well, a lot to take in. So how does a normal gal (ie, not a celeb!) make colored tights look effortless and suitable for everyday wear?
Watch and learn, ladies. I’ve found plenty of examples over on Pinterest for inspiration.
