The 6 Most 2025 Ways to Wear Tights This Winter
It feels like we're all in peak appreciation mode of the cold weather as well as the great layered looks we're finally able to wear, so let's continue on that theme with a little tribute to chic winter outfits that include a pair of tights. You'll rarely go wrong with timeless black pantyhose, but there's so much more to experiment with. If you're game, even your more classic tights have unexpected styling possibilities.
I'm mainly seeing preppy miniskirts and tights on the streets of New York, London and Oslo with either Mary Janes or loafers below the ankles. There's no shortage of tights inspo in my feed at the moment, from fun and colourful vibes in Lisbon to elegant outfits in Paris. Here are some of the best outfits with tights that have made it into my Instagram saved folder and everything you'll need to re-create them at home.
6 Chic Tights Outfits to Copy in Winter 2025:
1. Jacket + Burgundy Tight + Mini Skirt
Style Notes: It just wouldn't be a story about winter 2025 outfit inspo without touching on the burgundy trend. Expensive-looking and chic as well as timeless, this deep wine hue is the perfect accessory to bring a new energy to an otherwise all-black outfit.

Wander Matelassé Nappa Leather Hobo Mini-Bag

2. Leather Trench + Grey Tights + Mules
Style Notes: Like V-neck sweaters and T-bar shoes, wooly tights are further evidence that my style is slowly but surely becoming anchored in pieces from my old school uniform, which, ironically, I always hated. Tights and peep-toe heels are one of those "love it or hate it" styling things, but if Sylvie Mus can't sell you on it, I don't know what to tell you.

3. Blazer + Sheer Tights + Sheer Skirt
Style Notes: Since sheer skirts are still trending, ultra-sheer pantyhose are the trick to not feeling too naked. If your slingbacks keep slipping, try trimming some double-sided fashion tape to add a little tackiness to the inside of the straps.
