Black Tights Are Classic, But *This* Niche Fall Trend Will Get You More Compliments
When it comes to fall fashion, black tights are as essential as a pumpkin spice latte. They're reliable, chic, and go with absolutely everything. But if you're looking to turn heads and gather compliments faster than you can say "apple picking," Emily Blunt just showed us the secret weapon: colored tights. And not just any color, but a bold, unapologetic red.
For the London premiere of her film The Smashing Machine, Blunt redefined what hosiery can do for an outfit. Instead of opting for the expected sheer or opaque black, she donned a vibrant pair of crimson, polka-dotted Calzedonia tights. She paired them with a dramatic David Koma dress and heels, and the effect was simply mesmerizing.
The red tights didn't just complement her look; they made the look. They added a jolt of unexpected color, a playful yet sophisticated twist that elevated her entire red carpet ensemble from polished to utterly unforgettable. This niche trend is perfect for anyone looking to inject some personality into their fall wardrobe. While black tights fade into the background, colored tights demand attention in the best possible way.
