Fall/Winter 2009 Fashion Trend: Patterned Tights


I love tights! My love affair with tights started long ago and persists to this day simply because I think they are extremely comfortable and they permit me to continue to wear dresses and skirts throughout the winter without getting cold. The fall 2009 fashion runways featured tights in all kinds of colors (bright and subdued) and patterns. Above: Miss Sixty, Vivienne Westwood, Wunderkind, Sonia Rykiel. Some designers, such as Miu miu and Cynthia Rowley, even added embellishments to their tights as pictured below.




Because I doubt that most of us are daring enough to pull on a pair of sequined tights, I have assembled below a few less daring options for those of you who, like me, adore tights and are willing to try out a few pairs with some pattern to them. And I've added in a few eye catchers for those of you are more adventurous than I am!
