This year seems to be about class when it comes to tight trends, taking a classically fun or playful style and incorporating it into an elegant professional wardrobe. As we see a reemergence from the fishnet and other net tights, as well as the continued popularity of the patterned tight. This means we are starting to see some variations in color trend for these normally casual-leaning tights to bring them over to the classy side.

Gray Is The New Black

Black tights are as important as having a black bra, it’s been seen as the necessity. Now, we aren’t saying you should burn either but we are seeing a fun trend in gray tights. Maybe you already noticed but gray tights have the same versatility that black tights do but they add something just a little more interesting to your outfit. Consider a charcoal tight the next time you are going dark. If you can lightened it up and go with a classic gray instead of something dark, the fashionable dimensions of your outfit will multiply.

Sheer Is Back

The sheer top has taken over the fashion world over the last few seasons, it’s only right that this trend move down the body. Sheer tights are the new hot trend, although they seem to be staying the classy, professional theme that the gray trend started. Adding a sheer, dark tight to a cocktail outfit gives it a little more playful and attention grabbing quality than if you went with something more simple. Give it a try with something tame like the Ada 15 Slightly Sheen Pantyhose by Fiore on hosieree.com if you are still not sure you are on with this trend.

Patterned Tights Reign

The patterns aren’t going away but the hues are changing. We are seeing a trend in darker and warmer colors with the tights, even with patterns. The patterns trends themselves seem to be lacking a trend as they are all over. Stripes, floral, polka dots, you name it. The only real pattern we can find in the patterns is the colors. A fun pattern in a dark gray or navy blue spices up those reserved, professional tops. Patterned tights are also great for drawing attention to footwear by showing contrast, however if the color is too loud it can be distracting. The trend in dark patterns is perfect to accompany and accentuate the other parts of your outfit.
