About Style: Best ways to wear tights

For the longest time I have avoided wearing tights.

I would think it looked amazing on others, but when I put it on, I didn’t like it.

Today I know it was a lack of confidence, caused by not knowing how to wear them.

When it comes to dressing well, knowing what fits your body, and how to enhance your natural assets is essential.

That being said, let’s talk about what can’t go wrong when wearing tights:

The safest bet is to match your shoes to your tights.

If you have short legs like I do, the extension of color elongates the legs. Black tights with black shoes, brown tights with brown shoes and so on. If you can’t match with the exact same color, go for the same tones.

If you are going for bolder colored tights, which you totally can, try to keep your outfit simple, monochromatic colors, so your tights are not competing with it.

Playing with bolder colors is fun, and best done with confidence. Make sure to know which colors looks best on you; you don’t need to do just matchy matchy, different colors together can look amazing. For example I love navy with red, or yellow, and red with black. Sandy Chang has a good example of this on her blog. In the picture bellow, she is using a different shoe color, but the design still allows the longer legs look, rather than cutting them off at the ankle.

But don’t forget you are the special key for any outfit to work, keep in mind when choosing it. The outfit will complement your beauty, the assets you already have. That being said, I hope you guys have fun trying new tights in different colors, please share pictures with us. I’m sharing mine, black shoes with black tights!

Quick note: Specially on the winter, we might want to use leggings as a substitute for tights, I do sometimes because they are often wormer. Remember ladies, leggings are not a substitute for pants. It is an accessory that you wear under long tops or short dresses.
