Novelty tights can make any typical outfit extraordinary. No matter the print or pattern – whether it be polka dots, stripes, or argyle, tights add a dose of excitement and attitude to your look. Instead of heading to the mall to buy something new, choose a reliable dress or skirt from your wardrobe and invest in a pair of tights to elevate your look. Especially after an expensive holiday season, your wallet will thank you for this much more economically friendly decision! Turn on your inner “Prep” with an argyle pair styled with a matching tweed skirt and jacket set or fur-trimmed plaid cape a la Prada. Styled with loafers or Mary-Jane shoes, you will feel collegiate-chic! Or, go for a more quirky vibe with polka dots or zig-zags. Paired with a classic A-line dress silhouette, your “little black dress” just got an unexpected makeover. Feeling adventurous? Fashion girls are not afraid to mix-and-match patterns. Wear a printed pair with an equally abstracted dress or jacket, a la Mary Katrantzou. Keep your separates in the same color family as to not completely overwhelm your look. The only necessary accessory? Confidence, of course.
