Winter is half over! I hope you’ve enjoyed reading the Cold Weather Accessories series as much as I’ve enjoyed writing for it! For this last legwear article, I wanted to include information that will take you into Spring.
First of all, let’s discuss leggings. Mid-calf length leggings are out – they stop right at the widest part of your leg, so longer ankle length is better. In warmer weather, pick cropped leggings that fall right below the knee for a more flattering look.
Leggings with interesting details, like shirring or studs, are fun and practical. The solid colors work well with your wardrobe, and the fabric manipulation adds interest.
Bright opaque tights are always a great choice. Some newer trends for the Spring season include bright, abstract painterly prints and florals. Look for colors that compliment your wardrobe, and pair with a solid skirt or dress.
Another popular trend are the weightless and romantic laces. Black lace is still classic, while soft whites are a fun, modern twist. Look for lace tights that are delicate and fine – open, fishnet styles can easily look trashy. Pair with a print dress or a full, gathered skirt.
Most importantly, have fun with your legwear! Don’t be afraid to experiment! As the Winter season comes to an end, a lot of stores will be clearing out their tights, so keep an eye out for deals!
