It’s freezing, your legs are cold, but plain black tights feel as thrilling as your third Zoom meeting of the day. Enter bold tights and fishnets—the winter layering duo you didn’t know you needed. Warmth? Check. Drama? Double check. A conversation starter at the holiday party? Oh, absolutely.
Let’s talk about three ways to style colorful tights that scream “Here I am! ” while keeping you cozy.
Neon Green Tights and Sheer Drama
Neon green tights are not for the faint of heart—and that’s exactly the point. These bright, playful beauties inject a dose of energy into your winter wardrobe, especially when paired with a sheer black dress or skirt. The contrast between the bold green and the soft, delicate fabric creates a high-impact look that feels edgy yet refined. Add rhinestone-strap heels, and suddenly, you’re a walking party.
- Why it works: Sheer tones down the boldness just enough while still letting the neon take center stage. Rhinestone heels add sparkle for a touch of holiday magic.
- Where to wear it: Holiday dinners, art gallery openings, or any party where you want people to ask, “Where’d you get those tights?”
- Styling tip: Keep the top half simple—think a black turtleneck or a chic blazer—so your tights can do all the talking.

This outfit is the perfect example of what happens when opposites attract: a cozy hand-knitted purple sweater with playful fringe details meets sleek green tights layered under a sheer skirt. The result? A festive, daring ensemble that balances texture, color, and edge.
- The Hand-Knitted Star: The purple sweater is the Star here, with its tactile knit and fringe detailing adding personality and warmth to the look.

Red Tights Revolution!
Who said red tights had to stay prim and proper? This street-style inspired look gives holiday dressing a rebellious edge. Styled with a scarlet red armsocks shirt, oversized jacket, and the most delightfully bizarre pink clogs by Ruben Jurrien, this outfit is a mood. PS! Don't forget to add a distressed thrifted hat.
- Monochrome Madness: Sticking to shades of red makes the outfit cohesive, even when layered with unexpected textures and shapes.
- The Clash Factor: The chunky pink clogs add an ironic, playful twist—think candy-cane chic meets avant-garde.
- Street Smarts: The cap and bold gloves round off the look, leaning into the urban vibes while keeping the festive color story alive.
This look is for the bold: holiday markets, an edgy art gallery party, or just strutting around the city because you can.
Tips for Styling Red Tights:
- Go Monochrome: Whether it’s satin or streetwear, sticking to one color family makes any outfit feel elevated.
- Play With Textures: Mix soft satin with structured jackets or shiny tights with matte accessories to create visual interest.
- Own It: Confidence is the secret sauce. Red tights are not for blending in, and that’s the point.
