Express Yourself With Colours: Colour Guide

Coloured tights have become the new staple in any fashion savvy girl’s wardrobe. If you want to have delectable and colourful legs then look no further than MyTights. We stock a vast collection of colours but of course when looking at so many different variations, how do decide which shade will be the best one for you?

Black

To start out simple and sweet, black opaque tights are a must and never go out of season. If you have a lighter skin tone, black tights will give you a sense of contrast, however, be careful with how much black you wear, as this may cause you to have a washed out complexion. With a darker skin tone, black tights will simply increase your air of sophistication. To spice up your look, match black tights with an eye-catching dress with pretty florals or for a more classic look, a monochromatic tunic or dress will do.

Black tights are also great as they make your legs look slimmer and go with just about everything.

Brown tights are a softer and versatile alternative to black. In addition, brown tights look great with all autumnal colours.

Grey, White and Cream

Grey tights have been one of the top colours in recent seasons, and will add mystery to both light and dark skin tones. Grey tights would look amazing with tartan, checks, or just about any sort of pattern you can imagine! These timeless tricks also work effectively with white tights. White tights can bring the freshness into any outfit and give you that light, breezy feel needed during a dreary winter day. Women with darker skin tones will look extra stunning with a pair of white tights. Change up your outfits simply by alternating white and black tights and you’ll instantly get a different look without having to wrack your brain. An alternative to white would be the rich, warm colour of cream tights. On darker skin tones, cream tights will make your own skin look more luscious and supple.

Navy and Blue

If you want to achieve the ultimate preppy schoolgirl look like a girl who knows the difference between her Monet and Picasso, just put on a pair of navy tights. It works like magic; navy tights simply scream class, intellect and calm. Navy has suddenly become almost as standard as black and white tights, and just as versatile. Whether you have dark or light skin tones, navy tights will still give you that extra sophistication needed to fit in at the upcoming art exhibition or at your little sister’s music recital. If this is not the vibe you’re going for, we would suggest you look into the other end of the blue scale and pick up a pair of vibrant blue tights. Brighter shades of blue tights will put the fun into any outfit.

Gold and Silver

No matter what time of year, stand out from the crowd in glamorous gold tights and silver tights. Gold tights look absolutely striking against darker skin tones, while silver tights complement lighter skin tones in a very mesmerizing way. You can play it up or play it down. You can also choose between solid gold and silver coloured hosiery with or without a shimmer, and darker shades that are combined with gold and silver.

Red, Orange and Yellow

The colour of passion and fire, red tights will bring attention to your legs from miles away. Surprisingly, red proves to be a more versatile colour than blue tights or green tights. You can flaunt a whole range of looks with a pair of red opaque tights. Look sensual and mature when paired with a more detailed and fancy black top or dress, or look summer-ready and young if paired with a plain white tunic and simple pumps. The trick is to not go overboard with your other articles of clothing when wearing flamboyant coloured tights. Whether you opt for orange tights or yellow tights, simple basics will make sure you look put together and fashion forward. Any skin tone can pull off these bright fashion tights, as long as you don’t add too many colours to your colour palette of the day!

Pink and Purple

If you call yourself a girly girl, pink tights are probably already abundant in your closet. It’s hard not to look sweet and charming if you’re strutting around with cotton candy legs. Pink tights look stunning against lighter skin tones, and with light coloured articles of clothing. A simple dress paired with pink tights will make you look like a princess, or if you want to look more rock’n’roll, black leather on top will do just the trick. But if pink is a bit too girly for you, purple tights are a great alternative. Look more mysterious and more subtle with purple, a colour that has been the top choice for fashion designers all over the world. Black with purple tights is a deadly combination of both sass and glamour. And with purple, all ranges of skin tones are able to exude an air of mystery.
