Sometimes, the simplest styling tricks can elevate an entire outfit. As editors, it's pretty clear to the Who What Wear team that small additions like sleek belts and red socks truly make an outfit. Case in point, our editors' new favorite winter-approved outfit hack: tights with jeans.
The layered combination isn't new by any means throughout the colder months, but lately, we've been seeing brands, influencers, and other editors wear their favorite tried-and-true jeans with a pair of unexpected tights for a fun peekaboo moment. Whether you're opting to layer red tights under jeans or fishnets with your go-to pair of slouchy denim, this subtle, It girl–approved trend is the easiest way to make your winter jeans outfit feel 10 times fresher.
Below, scroll on to discover some chic tights-with-jeans outfit ideas and shop all of our essentials to get the outfit.
Sheer Black Tights + Jeans
How to style: Opt for straight-leg dark-wash jeans to complement the sheer black tights underneath. While you can wear any type of shoes with this combination, Paris-based influencer Sylvie Mus often wears black patent kitten heels or Mary Janes, and honestly, I can see why. They look so chic together.

Red Tights + Jeans
How to style: Like our editor, Eliza, go for baggy light- or mid-wash jeans to complement your red tights well. If you're hoping to make your red peekaboo tights the star of the show, opt for some black shoes or, in the above case, pair them with a fun bag.

Micro-Fishnet Tights + Jeans
How to style: Layering is key when it comes to the peekaboo-tights trend, so I chose to pair some micro-fishnet tights à la Tory Burch with classic ballet flats and my favorite anklet, courtesy of Canadian jewelry brand Jenny Bird.
