For when you just want to stay warm…
Some days you canʼt escape the cold, and nothing sounds cozier than soft fleece. Unfortunately, we canʼt all walk around in our snuggies or footie pajamas all day, so for a more fashionable alternative, try these fleece lined tights. In basic black theyʼre perfect for almost any occasion, and the thicker material will protect your skin from the dry air and wind.

For when youʼre feeling sexy…
Going out on the town? Got a hot date? You can still wear that killer dress you had in mind, and instead of showing a whole lotta leg, you can take the sex appeal even further with the right design of tights. Back seams are perfect for drawing the eye up the leg, and this front seamed version with itʼs zipper design is sexy and subtle.
Another option is the suspender tight which mimics the look of garter straps. Itʼs a great way to do the underwear as outerwear trend in a fashion thatʼs sexy, but still appropriate for outside the bedroom.

When you need a pop of color…
Accessories like jewelry, belts, shoes and handbags are all great ways to dress up a plain outfit. Switch up your plain black dress even further with bold colored tights, or an eye catching print to create an entirely new look.
