Why Wear Tights in Winter?

Tights are a universally popular item – they’re stylish, comfortable and endlessly versatile. Although they can be worn all year round – heavier tights work well in winter while lighter deniers can be perfect for summer – winter is a particularly great time for wearing tights. Let’s have a look at some of the best reasons to make your favourite pairs of tights a staple of your winter wardrobe.

A Cosy Layer

First things first, tights keep you lovely and warm on cold days. Because they fit snugly to the skin, they provide a good deal of warmth. Opt for a higher denier or even a thermal-lined pair of tights for optimum cosiness.

Make the Most of Your Wardrobe

Tights are particularly great at changing the overall look of a dress or skirt. In fact, there’s no need to put dresses away which you consider ‘summery’ – try pairing floral dresses or brighter fabrics with a pair of black or coloured tights for an immediate winter version.

Like tights, anti chafing shorts can be a godsend underneath dresses and skirts. They work by placing a comfortable soft layer of fabric between the thighs so you can walk in comfort. A great range is available at www.bettertights.com/collections/anti-chafing-shorts.

Tights and Boots

Is there any better winter combination than cosy tights and chunky winter boots? Whether you’re pairing this with a tweed skirt, a floaty dress or even some classic shorts, this look is both comfortable and super stylish.

Jazzing Up Your Style

Lastly, let’s just remind ourselves how much a pair of tights can liven up any outfit. Is your office outfit looking a little plain? Swap those black tights for dark green and see your style come to life. Even white or palest pastel tights can give a whole new dimension to your look, according to style experts at Refinery29.com.

And the great thing about tights is that they are an inexpensive way of updating your entire wardrobe. To the shops!
