16 of the best tights to shop this winter
Fishnets, rhinestones and trusty black opaques - we've got them all ✨
Definitely not just for keeping our pins toasty - though they do the most wonderful job - the best tights can also make a stylish fashion statement. They're our underrated wardrobe MVPs and, thanks to designers such as Gucci and Ganni, tights are having a major fashion comeback in 2022.
There are literally endless options and we promise this isn't an exaggeration. Whether you prefer a cheeky fishnet, a touch of sparkle or a bright colour, this versatile accessory can enhance any and every outfit.
Scroll down to see our top picks of tight styles to shop including the best opaque, patterned and nude styles from brands including Marks & Spencers, Calzedonia, Heist, Falke and high street hero ASOS.
Polka dot tights, the Parisian-chic member of the tights family, instantly add style to all they are partnered with. We say wear with clashing patterns.
For the brand-obsessives amongst us, there is no greater commitment to your favourite fashion house than donning their logo all over you legs.
Launched in 2015, Heist have quickly become the superior tight choice. They're not the cheapest but if you are someone who always wears dresses rather than jeans, it's worth equipping your wardrobe with a few of the brand's pairs. The Eighty style is perfect for those who love an opaque finish.
Wanna reintroduce a little fishnet into your wardrobe? These monogram tights are the ones for you.
Whether they're for a wedding or to wear at the office, having a trusty pair of nude tights can be a game changer when getting the pins out. We really rate this style from Hēdoïne.

We're super impressed by Pretty Polly's Eco range of tights that are biodegradable and this dotty version is the style we have our eye on RN.
