Looking into getting a few pairs of patterned tights but don’t know what would be the most flattering to your body type. You have come to the right place! 

1. Fishnets and Dot Patterns

Fishnets are a classic patterned tight design that many of us have probably not worn in a while. They were at their most popular during the 90s and early 00s. While they are not entirely out of style these days, they have definitely been replaced by even fancier and more sophisticated patterns. 

If you have flaws you want to hide, like less-than-perfect knees, then a pattern like fishnets and dots are ideal because these flaws can be hidden more effectively. Fishnets also give the illusion of slimmer calves or more shapely legs. 

2. Animal Prints

Animal print can also be flattering for some. They make the legs look flatter and give them a darker outline. Animal print tights also don’t make anyone look smaller or bigger but are great for making a statement. When choosing an animal print for your body type, keep in mind that larger prints can easily overwhelm your proportions. So, go with smaller patterns and thinner stripes.

3. Mid-Rise Waist

If you have more of an apple shape, mid-rise waist tights will be the most flattering. Even better if you can find some with mesh detailing in the lower leg area. Mid-rise waist leggings don’t draw a lot of attention to the stomach or waist.

4. High-Rise 

If you have an hourglass figure, then go for high-rise tights. Since they have a higher cut, they can easily slim the midsection. If you are curvier, try finding some with side paneling to elongate the leg. 

5. Wide Waistband

If you have more of a triangle-shaped body, you have curves around the hips and want to avoid anything that digs into the waist. Find something with a fold-over or wide waistband that hits right below your belly button. If you have a wider bottom area, try solid and bold colors rather than prints. 

6. Cropped

If you have more of a rectangular shape, you want to find cropped tights or a lower waist that hits below the belly button. This will narrow the waist and accentuate your good curves. You can also rock prints, solids, or anything in between, including fun metallics.
