If you think tights are simply worn to keep your legs warm in winter, think again.
This season, fashion girls are warming up in style by adding statement tights to their outfits – and make a statement, it does.
For as little as a few pounds, a pair of tights can transform a simple look. Leopard print, polkadot and block colours have been popping up on our Instagram feeds for months and we’re still not bored of them.
If the idea of colourful tights puts you on edge, fear not. We’ve collated some outfit inspiration from influencers we love to get your creative juices flowing when it comes to your wardrobe.

Faye Ellaby’s leopard print tights from ASOS are giving us serious envy [above].
Teamed with the Ganni printed dress, Faye’s clashed her prints for style points – but if this is too much for you, try a simple black dress for starters.
The Queen of colourful, Blaire Eadie has long been a fan of a statement tight [above].
Worn under trousers or a skirt for that extra pop of colour, this truly does add a little something to her outfit.
If you’re new to printed tights, opt for a subtle black pair like Steph Lamb [above].

Another wearable trend this season is checks, spotted on coats, trousers, dresses, and now tights too.
We love Meg’s tartan pair [above], which give a subtle nod to the trend and look gorgeous.
Another black and white combination that looks effortlessly cool, New Yorker Oriane Adjibi has kept it simple with a shirt, cami dress, biker boots and patterned tights. A lesson in how less is sometimes more.
