Sometimes in the winter, low temperatures can completely change your style. When the forecast reads 9° when your alarm goes off, it can be hard enough to muster up the courage to crawl out from under the covers in the morning. So the idea of getting dressed in something cutesy and presentable just doesn’t seem like it’s in the cards that day. I am a firm believer that if you look good, you’ll feel good, so just bite the bullet and remember that just like age, temperature is nothing but a number. Of course some beautiful and warm stockings and tights can be just what you need to make your favorite festive skirt or dress a reality even when it’s snowing out. Today I’m share some great picks to stock up on for the winter season, and they make great gifts as well!

Tis the season for sweater wearing. Sweater dresses, Christmas sweaters, and yes–sweater tights too! What better way to keep your legs warm? You can choose a heavy duty option like these printed sweater tights from Nordstrom, or go for leg warmers over your tights for even more chic layering.
Another way to keep your legs fabulous and warm are over the knee socks, which are honestly pretty similar to leg warmers. This set at Asos gives the illusion of sexy thigh highs, but has all the comfort and warmth of your favorite cuddly socks. And that edgy print will easily add some sparkle to an other wise plain outfit.

Finally, if you just want to keep your legs covered when wearing a skirt or dress, but not necessarily add too much bulk, you can’t go wrong with a pair of printed or lace tights. For when you’re feeling daring enough for a sexier or more noticeable print, two of my favorite are the House of Holland suspender inspired tights, or the super sparkly Wolford Marchesa pair.
So there you have it, no more excuses for weather keeping you from all your style potential! From warm and cuddly to chic and sexy; stockings, tights, and leg warmers are simple and cost effective ways to switch up any outfit.
