Early spring can be a difficult time when it comes to legs. If you’re lucky (and we are right now), the weather is sunny and warm; too hot for winter’s thick opaques but not quite warm enough for bare legs, unless you’re very brave. So, while tights are still the order of the day, spring is a time to be a little more adventurous, to inject a bit more pattern or even colour into our everyday legwear.
Two very enduring trends of the last couple of years are geometrics and florals. Both span the spectrum from subtle to making a statement, and they work perfectly for day and night wear. This spring see loads more great styles in both trends hit the market, so if you’re looking to update your legwear collection, here are some great tights to try.
