These 6 Tights Trends Are Slowly Taking Over This Winter
From classic sheer to stark white lace, these are the tights trends quietly taking over winter wardrobes everywhere.
Winter fashion has completely shaken up my tights drawer in the past few seasons. A bin that was once just filled with practical opaque tights is now a collection that includes bright pops of red, lace, and even stark white. If you told me I’d be styling my winter outfits like this a few years ago, I would’ve never believed you, but even minimalists these days are taking their simple black frocks to the next level with a pair of tights that turns heads. Now that the cold is officially here, the past few weeks have transformed my entire social media feed into a world of lace, florals, and every imaginable color of tights. It feels like tights are suddenly the main character of winter dressing, and honestly, I’m not mad about it. It’s an affordable and easy upgrade to any outfit.
The fun part is that every trend has its own vibe—some feel chic and quiet, others feel playful and intentionally maximal. Whether you’re diving in for the first time or refreshing a drawer you swore you’d never revisit, these are the styles that keep popping up on the fashion crowd (and the exact versions I’d add to my cart).
Classic Sheer
There’s a reason sheer tights never go out of style—they add instant polish, and while they might not be the warmest choice, the final look is so worth it. Think of them as your winter equivalent of a great white tee: simple but essential.
Floral Details
It’s rare for something that might feel like a statement to carry weight long term in the tights department, but floral details will always add a special touch to whatever you’re wearing. They add just enough texture to make a simple outfit feel intentional.
Stark White
White tights are a bold trend that feels very runway-coded. They brighten winter outfits in a way that’s crisp and cool. If you want something statement-like that still feels grown-up, these are the move.
Color Pop
Bright tights have had a moment lately, and they are finally back in full force. From cherry red to electric blue and even bright hot pink, they turn a neutral outfit into a fashion moment with basically zero effort.
Classic Lace
Lace tights bring that slightly undone, Paris-meets-downtown energy that’s perfect for evening dressing. They’re delicate, a touch sultry, and add instant dimension to otherwise simple silhouettes. If you want something timeless but not boring, lace is the sweet spot.
White Lace
If you were surprised to see white tights on this list, prepare to be amazed because we're about to talk about them more than once. Simply because white lace tights give a totally different vibe: soft, ethereal, and a little unexpected in the dead of winter. White lace tights instantly elevate an outfit, bringing a strong editorial POV that somehow works with both slip dresses and oversize knits.
