Rounding out what’s turned into my little series of stories this month that dabble in both tights trends and not just one, but two stories about some slightly controversial shoe trends, I bring you the news that shorts and tights are officially a thing that’s happening.
Surprisingly, I’m quite into it—given the recent rise of pedal pushers, was this really so far behind? Somehow it feels like the natural evolution of the far more spicy, Miu Miu-inspired “tights as pants” situation we all either loved or hated a few seasons ago. I am (less surprisingly) more of a long, tailored shorts kinda gal, so this really just makes sense given the investment so many of us made in Bermuda shorts over summer.
From teeny tiny hot pants to chic baggy shorts, here are just some of the ways shorts and tights are being styled by fashion people this winter.
These teeny tailored shorts feel elevated when they’re balanced out with sheer tights, a chic turtleneck, and leather blazer. Throw in slingback pumps, a black leather belt, a collar necklace, and a top handle bag, and you’ve got yourself an elegant look.
