so remember when your mom tried to make you wear those tights that you just hated? well now everyone is jumping all over that fad. wearing tights is an excuse to spice up your outfit with a pop of color on your legs. layering tights with solid colored dresses, long sweaters, leg warmers, etc... the trend is just all over the place.
all different styles and patterns have taken over. tights are the new socks and even jeans. they are an excuse to not wear jeans and show off some leg in a more subtle way. technically you're not showing any leg, but you are--its a tease.
in central new york, women and girls have played up this trend to the max. with it being so cold, any way to look cute while still staying warm is great. so girls have taken woolen stockings and tights and paired them with knee high boots to create a cute but warm look. with it snowing over 120 inches in the winter, it is really hard to look "cute." however, tights are one way this is possible.
the trend kind of exploded from the return of the 80s and late 90s with the neon colors. of course style today has toned down some of the neon and kind of used it as nice little accents to an outfit, as opposed to the whole outfit. shows like gossip girl have taken the styles to a chic new level, making it completely stylish to add brightly colored tights and patterned stockings to otherwise plain outfits.
whatever it is, tights just may have been a fashion savior for CNY.
