So many of you have asked recently about how to pull off wearing dresses or skirts in the cold weather months. I personally am not a big fan of tights…but I recognize that they are a necessary evil & are sometimes absolutely non-negotiable based on the freezing temperatures. When shopping for tights, it’s important to look at the denier to ensure you’re purchasing the right kind: sheer= 10-20 denier / semi-opaque= 25-35 denier / opaque= 40+ denier. I exclusively wear opaque tights in the winter because they are the warmest & most durable option. I always purchase tights with shapewear built-in because they do double-duty (check the label for words like control-top, contour or shaping).
I personally prefer to keep things simple by matching my tights to my footwear – it just looks more sleek & I find that it has a leg-lengthening effect. However, neutral tights also work well with taupe, cognac or bordeaux shoes (see examples here or here). This outfit is the perfect example of how you can take a flowy skirt and make it seasonally appropriate by adding a warm pair of tights & pairing it with a chunky knit sweater and lace-up booties. This black suede moto jacket balances out the feminine layers of this skirt (last seen here) and provides just the right amount of edge.
