Red tights are the best accessory, just ask your fave fashion influencers

We’re all seeing red. From the red nail theory to red hair dyes, red has become a cool girl staple these the past few months.

Although red tights were a staple of the indie-sleaze era, TikTok girlies have declared that they’re back (sorry, not sorry, millennials). It-girls will tell you, however, that the revival of the red tights is all about how you style them.

The colour combo

Styling red tights, as the fashionistas will tell you, is rooted in elevating any basic black, white or grey outfit. Based on the principle of adding a pop of colour to an otherwise basic palette, this trend is all about embracing boldness.

It’s all about the footwear

A staple black shoe is also a necessary pairing with the bold red tights. Whether you opt for your fave Mary Janes or throw on some kitten heels, black strappy shoes tie the look together in one wonderfully preppy ensemble.

Denier dilema

The beauty of the red tight trend is you can go as subtle or as bold as you want with it. Whilst most opt for thicker, deeper threads of red, you can also rock lace, sheer and event patterned red tights. After all, it’s all about being playful in your own unique way.
