In 2026, the most popular styles include colorful and graphic tights, sheer lace, knee-high stockings, metallic finishes, and models made from recycled fibers, each suited to different occasions.
How can you incorporate colourful or patterned tights into an everyday outfit? Pair bold tights with understated pieces: a solid-colored dress, a neutral coat, or simple shoes. Opt for moderate contrast, harmonize the colors, and play with textures for a polished and elegant look.
Which materials should you choose for a good balance between comfort and durability? Opt for nylon/Lycra for elasticity and support, knit for comfort, wool for warmth, and recycled materials for durability. Check the denier and transparency according to your intended use.
Are metallic or iridescent tights suitable for urban wear? Yes, but more as an accent: metallic tights add a festive or futuristic touch to an evening out or event. Wear them with neutral pieces to avoid overwhelming your look.
What criteria should you check before buying tights, and how do you care for them? Check the size, denier, and fabric composition. A size guide and samples reduce returns. Ideally, wash by hand or in a mesh laundry bag, and avoid excessive heat to preserve elasticity and colour
