We’re more used to seeing her in laid-back trainers and slouchy indie outfits, but Fearne Cotton has proved that she knows how to up the glam factor when she needs to.

The Radio 1 DJ was pictured by the Daily Mail at a charity auction for Macmillan last night wearing a blue velvet dress, gold shoes and some gorgeous black lace patterned tights.

Her long blonde locks were styled in a sleek down do and she added a slick of scarlet lipstick for some added sex appeal, resulting in a great outfit for a winter party.

It looked smart but still super-trendy and so much cooler than flashing too much goosebumped flesh when it’s freezing out!

For a similar look to Fearne’s, why not try the Jonathan Aston Sweet Rose Lace Tights from MyTights.com?

They have a sweet flower pattern all the way up the leg, as well as a saucy back seam for that 1940s pin-up-style effect.

See Fearne here and check out our full range of lace tights on our website too.

If you want to stay ahead in the style stakes over the coming months, you’d better buy some socks.

This is the opinion of DJ Fearne Cotton, who was quoted by the Metro as saying that she loves the humble hosiery.

Speaking at London Fashion Week’s PPQ show, the 28-year-old – who recently took over Jo Whiley’s mid-morning slot on Radio 1 – commented: “I love socks and I just think that socks for me next year will be quite big. Socks always, I love socks!”

She also appears to like tights, as she was pictured sporting a gold lurex pair with her Vivienne Westwood dress later on.

We’re with Fearne in her love of socks as they are great for cooler autumn weather. Why not try a really jazzy pair in the form of Jonathan Aston’s Cotton-Cashmere Argyle Over the Knee Socks from MyTights.com?

They will definitely liven up your outfits and prevent you from feeling too sad about the nights drawing in this month!

It’s always one of the big fashion debates come summer – can you wear socks with sandals and still look like a fashionista?

While Chloe Sevigny has always been a big fan of sporting cute women’s socks with open-toed shoes, many girls reckon it is the ultimate fashion faux pas and steer well clear.

However, we’re firmly in Chloe’s camp, particularly after seeing new evidence from Fearne Cotton this weekend in the Daily Mail.

The Radio 1 DJ was spotted out and about in denim shorts and a stripy top, along with purple strappy wedges and ankle socks.

She looked great and the socks definitely added an indie edge to an outfit that could otherwise have looked quite ordinary.

Fearne’s socks were black, but we would have loved to have seen her sport a pattern to complement those stripes on her top. Celeste Stein’s Ruby Stripes Ankle Socks – available from MyTights.com – have red vertical lines and would make a bold fashion statement for any indie chick.

La Cotton has certainly been working the hosiery of late – she was also spotted recently with Alesha Dixon in LA wearing wet lookleggings and a neon pink top.

Fearne Cotton pulled off festival chic over the weekend, looking cool but ready for changeable weather on the Isle of Wight.

The Radio 1 DJ, who recently climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief, headed to the Isle of Wight festival in a typically kooky bowler hat, a blue polka dot dress, biker boots and black leggings.

Her clever choice of outfit meant that she was covered should it be sunny, but wouldn’t get mud up her legs if it turned suddenly showery!

For the ultimate in comfortable legwear – which is what you really need when it comes to festivals this summer – check out the MbyM Go Green Carolina leggings from MyTights.com.

Thanks to being made from 95 per cent MicroModal they are super-soft, plus their materials come from sustainably-managed forests so wearing them won’t cost the earth!

They are a longer length and are slightly sheer, so would be perfect with a summer dress and boots like Fearne’s.
