Runway Inspiration
Here’s some runway inspiration to give you some ideas on how to wear patterned and colored tights. As you’ll see in the photos below, most of the designers this season paired tights with mini dresses and fabulous high heels.
Think about how you might want to wear patterned & colored tights while you look at the pictures. What would you wear, and what would you do differently?
Patterned & Painted Tights
Designers like Chanel, Anna Sui, and Emma Cook are just a few fans of patterned tights for fall. Each of them incorporated painted images or texture into their tights for a completely unique look each time.
Solid-Colored Tights
The black opaque tights of last year are still going strong, but now they are accompanied by this year’s hottest tight colors - jewel tones and greys. Designers like Burberry Prorsum, Luella, and John Galliano all used fall’s fabulous colors in their tights for a look that was grown-up yet still fun. If you ask me, that’s part of what makes it such a perfect trend for college.
