3 Unexpected Ways To Style Hosiery
What Are We Wearing?
Hosiery isn’t just for pairing with skirts and dresses—it’s a versatile wardrobe staple that can elevate outfits of all types. I like adding an extra layer during the frigid winter months with a pair of wool tights and knee or thigh-high boots. Check out these different types of hosiery and how to style them in chic and interesting ways.
Sheer Tights with Shorts
Transform tailored or leather-style shorts into a sophisticated look by adding sheer black tights. Pair them with pumps or knee high boots, a tucked-in blouse or cropped sweater, and a blazer for a polished yet edgy ensemble. This is perfect for transitional weather or an elevated day-to-night look. For the daytime, switch out the pumps for loafer and bring the heels for after hours.
Fishnets or Lace Stockings with Distressed Denim
Fishnets, lace, or other pattern-style stockings layered under ripped jeans add a bold, textured element and are very unexpected, in a good way. Style this look with an oversized sweater, combat boots, or chunky loafers for a cool streetwear vibe. Opt for classic black fishnets or experiment with colored or patterned ones for added flair.
High Contrast Looks with Tights
Take an elegant pair of white pants or a light color or pastel-toned color suit like pink, cream, or baby blue to a whole new level with a layer of sexy black tights under your pants or skirt. The contrast will be striking to the eye and give your look an instant evening-ready vibe that’s still appropriate for a more formal workday or event.
