How To Wear Legwear

Tights, Leggings, and Hosiery for Homecoming

From , former About.com Guide

No need to let those bare legs freeze. Tights, leggings, and hosiery will come in handy for homecoming, keeping you feeling toasty and looking cool.

1. Colorful

Shopbop.com
Match the color of your tights to your dress, your shoes, or your accessories. Or, if you're feeling especially bold, choose an out-of-the-blue color to electrify your ensemble.

2. Patterned

Nordstrom.com
If you're planning on wearing a simple, solid dress, patterned tights are just the thing to bring a dated dress to life. If you're planning on wearing a pretty patterned number, opt for textured tights in herringbone, argyle, or fishnet.

3. Details

Forget the accessories. The coolest girls forgo over-the-top jewels and gems and instead bring a little extra in the form of detailed tights.

4. Footless

Nordstrom.com
The ubiquitous footless leggings are such a standard for good reason - they put your fabulous shoes on full display. Think of them as a frame for your feet.

5. Stirrup

The extra support of stirrup tights will keep your tootsies toasty. More than that, they look ridiculously hip paired with high heels.
