Now is the time for Patterned and Printed Leggings and Tights

Hemlines are getting higher together with the attractiveness of leg-wear. As the weather tenaciously sprawls toward spring, with temperatures on the rise, patterned and tights are proving to be functional and fashionable.

No longer are leggings and tights regarded as worn by people with a soft spot for the 80s. Patterned and printed leggings, tights and stockings are one of the most flexible trends that can take you from autumn and winter and into spring and even summer.

They can be paired with mini skirts, shortened pants, dresses, boots and more in recent times, cutoff shorts, the list is never-ending and so are the styles existing, and not to refer to who's wearing them. From the classic opaques, to the patterned tights, there is something for all and sundry

It used to be that our only choices for tights were sheer or opaque and black or “nude”— which was often more of a weird Barbie leg color. But trendsetters have become a little more artistic: Foremost, there were colored tights—maroon on the more traditional end, and electric blue for more daring types. And this spring, stepping out in a pair of lace tights is the new fashion must.

Patterned and printed colored socks and tights are all the rage this season, with designers using leopard patterns and wild psychedelics to add eccentric fun to the catwalk models and rather like argyle and hounds tooth; you either find them appealing and take every opportunity to wear them or you quite simply can't stand them and stay away from them!

You may have to be a little careful to buy the right size when wearing patterned and printed tights and socks if you have chubby legs as they can make them seem larger, on the other hand, having a contrasting color of tights can look spectacular and actually bring an outfit to life.

We may be shedding our thick dark colored and muted tone colored tights in anticipation of warmer weather which is a great chance of dropping a few deniers and opt for a finer mesh and still look elegant and chic.

Women who wear tights all the time will be pleased to know that out there you can find a range of tights which can be worn with open toed shoes making it even more fashionable.

At the end of the day, patterned and printed tights are also guaranteed to add style and fun to any garment. So show your personality by means of legwear; take this opportunity to stock up on fun patterned and printed tights for spring and summer.
