Autumn tights

I am very much a skirt and tights girl. I rarely wear plain black tights, preferring colour, in lots of styles. I buy my tights from Tabio and Top Shop (the Top Shop own brand wear really well.) I'm not afraid of wearing bright colours, and this season I am going to seek out ribbed tights as my style of choice.

I've never really gone in for coloured tights (being rather chunky of calf), but a teal blue pair caught my eye recently and I bought them. Now I am just waiting for tights weather to arrive. We'll see how it goes.

I do so love them on other people.

I'm so feeling the bright tights this winter! Got teal and maroon, thinking purple and maybe something brighter. Maybe. I think you've got to have quite slim legs really to get away with it but then again I don't really care about that. :)

I love the tights in the second photo! I like tights and do wear them, but not often as my ankles are SO skinny it is not attractive! Really!

This is a post after my own heart! I ADORE tights! I just got some bright green ones from Target to add to my overflowing drawer of tights! I am totally a skirt and tights girl. Happy early autumn!

Ive only ever worn black or purple tights before.

But yesterday I saw a girl in Red tights similar to the 1st image, and it looked pretty good I have to say.

So this autumn I may be more daring.

I've never worn colored tights, but I think they are an accessory all to themselves that should definitely be shown loud and proud! Although I don't know if I'd have the guts to wear red ones! :}

these tights look so cozy, especially the middle ones. i've got some colored tights that i can't wait to break out once it gets cool enough.

I will definitely be sporting the bold colored tights with you this Fall! I LOVE a tight that turns heads.

I love skirts and tights too! Especially with cute heels or boots. =) I can't wait to start wearing them. I saw an adorable plaid pair in a Macy's flyer today.

Love the colored tights! I'm kinda glad these are in style now.

Oooh, tights are totally what I am excited about fall for. Yesterday was the first really cool day in DC, so I broke out the tights and skirt and it made me so happy! :)I mostly just wear black or grey tights, but I think I'm going to be adventurous this fall and go for some colors as well.

its not really ideal to wear tights in my hot hot country that is malaysia, haha so i take every chance i get to wear every type of tights imaginable when im on holiday that has a colder climate! even in my hotel room :)

Ooooh - I just love tights too!! Our winter has just finished and I bought a great pair, black with purple flowers .... so stunning - but alas I'm in Queensland Australia and we had our hottest winter ever (more like summer), so I didn't get an opportunity to wear them. Sigh!!! Will save them for next year!
Cheers, Karen

I love love tights. I can't wait to start wearing them everyday again.
I especially love ribbed tights. I have them in white, purple, black and several shades of grey!
I love Tabio too - but what puts me off is their prices!? £20 for a pair of tights!? crazzzy.

Sainsburys have some nice ribbed reddish ones for just £6 ;-)
