Anthropologie Shows Us How to Wear Colored Tights

November 3rd, 2006 Posted in Fab Shops

By now, black tights have become as ubiquitous as black leggings. They’re everywhere. While there’s nothing wrong with that, the avante garde among us may start thinking “same old, same old” and want to steer clear from all the sameness.

How to stand out among a sea of black? Well, Anthropologie shows us how in their Solstice Catalog.

Here we learn not to be afraid to mix bold colors with bold prints. Electric blue tights become a must have.

Here we learn to mix bold colors with subdued ones. Royal blue with white. Cream with cranberry. Turquoise and light blue. Khaki and yellow. You get the picture.



Here we learn that it’s OK to mix patterned tights with patterned clothing. The patterns don’t have to match but the colors need to be similar.


For those of us who are reticent about using colored tights, it’s OK to have them peeking out from under a wide trouser too. It’s also a good idea to have the same color elsewhere in your outfit.

Definitely not for the faint hearted but isn’t it oh-so-refreshing?

      Ooo, I love the two pattersn together. Unexpectedly perfect. And the bright teal peaking from underneath the trousers is so fun. A great way to stay quirky in the office.
