Tips to Consider
Red tights are very bold and can make for a great fashion statement in the fall. When pairing up colors with red tights go for neutrals or soft colors. Pairing up bright colors with red can lead to a very clownish appearance. Instead pair soft grays, dark blacks, sand beiges, navy blues, or light whites. Red tights can be intimidating but have no fear because if you consider the following ways to stylishly don your tights you'll be looking chic in no time.
Ways to Wear Red Tights
For A Sexy Look
Make rouge nylons sexy by pairing them with black. Red stockings can be paired with a black dress or trench coat for a dramatic look. Wear black shoes to color block the look. If you don't have a black dress pair a cute black skirt with a fitted black top. A black pea coat, biker jacket, or sweater can also add pizzazz to the outfit. Remember the rouge nylons will be the star of the show here.
