7 Excellent Looks With Tights…. Because It’s Freezing
From winter weekend outfits to glamorous Christmas party looks, embracing the Mob Wife aesthetic to mastering timeless head-to-toe black, we’ve got you covered – sartorially and warmth-wise.
We’ve rounded up seven really great looks built entirely around one essential accessory: tights. Scroll down to recreate our favourite Instagram styles, sourced directly from some of our go-to style creators.
Look 1
Ties have been everywhere this season, inspired by ’80s Wall Street-esque looks seen at Saint Laurent, Jacquemus and Victoria Beckham. Our advice? Go vintage or look in our local charity shop for an affordable alternative. We love the juxtaposition with a pleated plaid skirt, point-toe heels and a power shoulder coat – a look that means business.

Look 2
Scottish style star, Jo-Ann Alari, just won the Christmas party look hands down. How good is this festive red bouclé two-piece? The jacket is very Jackie O prim, while the short-shorts add a fun and unexpected element. Accessorise with vintage-inspired pieces, from a skinny silk scarf to chunky Mary-Janes.

Look 3
Paris-based influencer, Sylvie Mus, is the master of an understated look. Simple classics done in a low-key way that just nail it. The key here is a low-denier tight, adding. sexier, more after-hours feel to an everyday look – very French, impossibly chic.

Look 4
Red tights might not be for everyone (we admit, there’s a faint echo of school uniform here), but there’s no denying they pair perfectly with wintery leopard print. Start with cosy knits, add a statement coat, and finish the look by doubling down on ruby red winter accessories.

Look 5
Some brave a bare leg in the depths of party season; if that isn’t you, take style notes from Rabea Schif‘s ’60s-inspired Gucci look. Clash textures with the tweed, crystals, check-pattern tights, and sumptuous velvet shoes. Comfy but opulent all at once.

Look 6
Always impactful, head-to-toe black is the cool-girl’s go-to when you want to look and feel great. We love how Beatrice Gutu elevates a one-colour look by layering rich, contrasting textures – try jet-black wool with tough leather, and the delicate draping of chiffon in this excellent H&M blouse find. Complete with a frosting of statement silver jewellery.

Look 7
There’s a touch of the Mob Wife about this look, and we’re not mad about it. Perfect for winter date nights or festive drinks, add interest to a classic LBD with a pair of floral, lacy tights – bonus points for adding a layer of warmth too. The real star of the show is a vintage-inspired, OTT faux fur; this Reiss one is firmly at the top of our Christmas wish list.
