Black Tights Are Classic, But *This* Niche Fall Trend Will Get You More Compliments

When it comes to fall fashion, black tights are as essential as a pumpkin spice latte. They’re reliable, chic, and go with absolutely everything. But if you’re looking to turn heads and gather compliments faster than you can say “apple picking,” Emily Blunt just showed us the secret weapon: colored tights. And not just any color, but a bold, unapologetic red.

For the London premiere of her film The Smashing Machine, Blunt redefined what hosiery can do for an outfit. Instead of opting for the expected sheer or opaque black, she donned a vibrant pair of crimson, polka-dotted Calzedonia tights. She paired them with a dramatic David Koma dress and heels, and the effect was simply mesmerizing.
