Tights (and other) Fashion for Winter

Tights and Shorts

Shorts - an important summer staple - can easily be transitioned into the cold weather seasons with one simple addition: tights. This trend is not only comfy and cool, but your pins will definitely thank you for keeping them warm

All you need to do is put your favorite shorts over a pair of tights. Denim shorts are definitely the most common, but feel free to have fun with this trend. Play with colors and texture; velvet, after all, is big this autumn. When it comes to the tights, don't be shy.  Pair dark-wash denim with thick, funky tights to add a unique flare to your wardrobe and escape the all-too-easy to fall into pattern of jeans every day.  While plain black tights are classic, experiment with different shapes, designs and colour to mix things up. That being said, black on black never goes out of style.

 Furthermore, silhouettes are a great way to show off your best assets while avoiding judgmental glances. If you've got great legs and want to show them off but are less than pleased with the pastiness that comes along with the winter, tights are again the answer.

A pair of nude tights is a great way to give the illusion of bareness without baring the cold.

While tights protect your legs from the cold, they're still not as warm as trousers, so when rocking this trend remember to bundle up your top half. Think scarves, sweaters and lots of layers for a look that's ultra-trendy.

And just remember:

Even if you don't wear tights and shorts outside - they are great for parties

Tights and shorts are for all ages

Other trends
Scarves
Scarves are in - especially infinity scarves with no beginning or end, the scarf is really just a long loop of fabric.

Slouchy Military Boots
Lace-up military style boots really became popular last year. This year, try a pair that folds down over the laces. They are super comfortable so you get the cozy feeling you want when you're cold and a lot of them are even lined with flannel so you stay extra warm.

Booted

Boot socks
An easy way to accessorize a cold weather staple-boots-is to pair them with high socks. Put them over your tights so they peek out from the top of the boot. It gives some visual interest, and you are sure to stay warm, even in the dead of winter.
