How to style with tights

If your like me you want to get the most out of your wardrobe. I use to joke that summer wardrobe is your winter wardrobe, with tights. (depending on your location and fabric of clothing) In general you should be able to wear 60% of your wardrobe all year round. With that said, I want to focus on how to wear and style with tights.

1)Choose the right size of tights. The most important step in putting on tights is to start with the correct size. Tights are usually categorized using both weight and height considerations. Always go bigger if you are in between sizes

2)Pick a denier that's appropriate for your outfit needs. In general, a 30 denier tight is the most popular, versatile and comfortable option. The lower the denier, the more sheer the tight and less opaque it is. I am loving a lower denier, sheerer tight pictured below. It adds a layer of dimension to your outfit.

3) Match the tights with the right outfit. This sounds harder than if has to be. If you are going with a patterned tight make sure it flows with the bottom’s/ Dress you are wearing. For example, if it’s a heavy pattern make sure the bottom is solid and not patterned. If you want to wear a colored tight, make sure there is the same color some where in the outfit that matches it.

4) Tights are versatile and can be worn with variety of outfits from dresses to shorts to rompers.
