Statement Legs Have Made Hosiery this Winter’s Hottest Accessory

If there is something I’ll always invite into my wardrobe, it’s glitter. Shimmer brings such a fun element to outfits that need a little extra spice, and contrary to popular belief I truly believe that glitter *is* a neutral. An all-black outfit can be taken to the next level with a sexy sparkling leg, and thankfully Sheertex makes the perfect pair of tights to create the look. Although they’re more expensive than most stockings, all of Sheertex’s rights are made unique by their rip-resistant technology. Embrace these fun leg accessories with peace of mind, knowing they won’t snag or rip no matter what you throw at them.

Works of art for your legs, these wide fishnet tights are embellished with floral appliques at the knees that make for an eye-catching moment. Flowers in different colors, shapes, and sizes are paired with pearls, and even an adorable bumble bee to create a fashion statement that lets your legs do the talking.

Red tights have been all the rage this season and the proof is in the pudding considering the high volume of styling suggestions on Pinterest and TikTok. Deep red is such a striking color that always tends to re-emerge around the holiday season in a way that makes me wonder “Why don’t I wear this color year-round?” Given the popularity of red legs this winter, I think I just might. Italian hosiery brand, Calzedonia, is known for the quality, range, and affordability of their tights and I’m absolutely enamored with the opaque, saturated shade of red in their nylons.

With these lacey rose tights by Fleur du Mal, all eyes will be on your legs. This sultry take on a classic closet staple pairs well with any outfit both when your clothes are on, yet also when they (undoubtedly) start to come off. Don’t mistake our bluntness with being crass; coming from a luxury lingerie brand these tights prove that sometimes it’s what’s underneath that gets the most attention.

Add a fine fishnet with twinkling detailing and you’re left with these dreamy tights from Commando. Making sure that your legs catch the light in all the right ways, you’ll never want to wear standard shimmer-less fishnets again. Topped with Commado’s signature internal smoothing waistband, the brand has seamlessly created a stocking that’s both flattering and comfortable on your legs.

Stockings that accentuate the leg whilst simultaneously keeping you warm in the winter? Sign me up! If walking to and from destinations is your main mode of transportation should you live in a major city, or are simply trying to get more steps in each day, then wool tights are for you. I’m particularly fond of this ivory-colored pair because of the subtle striped pattern; it creates more visual interest without being too loud or overtly noticeable. No need to shy away from skirt + tight combos in colder temperatures, just make a point to reach for this option the next time you need a little more insulation than a sheer pair can offer. 

High on the trend zeitgeist this season is leopard, leopard, and oh, more leopard. Similar to the scarlet and shimmer options shared above, leopard print shares the same quality of being able to make a bold statement while still remaining relatively neutral. It’s also no secret that Wolford makes some of the best tights on the market, so treat your legs to the quality they deserve the next time you step out in an outfit that’s sure to turn heads.

Varying from traditional footed tights, these legging-style tights make the perfect backdrop for the exposed underwear fashion movement. Covered in sequined and embroidered stars, Urban Outfitters describes this legwear as “out of this world.” We’re obsessed with the display model’s styling of these tights with matching earrings, a velvet bodysuit, an oversized blazer, and thong kitten heels similar to my staple strappy sandals from Pelle Moda.

I’m still riding the Barbie train, and can you blame me? Ever since the movie’s premiere in the summer of 2023, I’ve been much more conscious about adding more pink to my wardrobe. Embrace your inner Margot Robbie with these stunning magenta tights from cult-favorite essentials brand, Los Angeles Apparel. Legs that are a vibrant pink spark so much joy into each and every outfit you decide to pair with these pantyhose.
