Coloured Tights Are Dividing Opinion!

Coloured tights are making waves on the catwalk this year, with bold, daring colours and punchy prints and patterns taking centre stage with celebrities. They were super fashionable in the ’80s, but bright colours and fishnet tights are back – and they’re dividing opinion everywhere. So why should you give the coloured tights trend a try?

Why Not?

Coloured tights are an out-there and daring choice, after all, and many just don’t feel they have the confidence to pull off the bright tights trend. Others say they worry bright tights are childish or too reminiscent of the ’80s. But the very nature of fashion is that it’s cyclical. Every few years, a fashion we’d thought was dead and buried surges back into style, and that’s exactly what’s happening with brightly coloured tights today.

Mastering the Trend

If you’re brave enough to give the brightly coloured tights trend a try, here are a few fashion tips and tricks to get you started:

Start simple: go for something bright but not too bright as you dip your toes into this trend. Try a slightly more muted colour together with denim shorts to get you started.

Chic clashing: clashing prints and patterns are all the rage as we wave goodbye to outdated fashion rules. After all, fashion is about experimenting and having fun, so why not start by adding a bright or patterned pair of tights to your wardrobe?

Try fishnet tights: fishnet tights aren’t just for a night out – they come in a range of net sizes and patterns, with geometrical designs and delicate net patterns that add a chic touch to any outfit. Try dipping your toes into the new tights trend with a pair of fishnets first, pairing them with mules and a dress for an elegant silhouette. A range of fishnet tights is available from companies such as www.bettertights.com/collections/fishnet-tights.

Monochrome styling: monochromatic dressing, or dressing in all one colour, is in right now. So try pairing your brightly coloured tights with a skirt and top combo with shoes of the same colour to pull off two trends in one.
