    Key Takeaways<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    • Matching your tights to your shoes is the leg-lengthening styling trick we’ll be wearing all winter. <\/li>\n
    • Much like an opera glove, it adds a touch of glamour to any cold weather look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      For reasons I don\u2019t have to get into\/don\u2019t feel like talking about (the cold, mainly), it\u2019s the season of tights. It\u2019s also the season of opera gloves, though\u00a0depending what circles you frequent you’ll probably see the former more than the latter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      That\u2019s okay, though. They might not keep your arms warm or your chipped manicure covered or help you feel like Jennifer Lopez at the Grammys or a Guilded Age<\/em> girlie, but tights can<\/em> serve a similar purpose as opera gloves, styling wise.\n<\/p>\n

      As long as you match them to your shoes.\n<\/p>\n

      The Trend <\/span><\/h2>\n

      Just like a classic opera glove might match the gown you chose for your night at the ball, a matching tight and shoe combination has the ability to level up your winter outfit. The rest of your look doesn’t have to be the same shade, though a full monochrome moment is<\/em> fun.<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n

      The trend isn\u2019t limited to only tights, either\u2014tall socks will also do the trick. Just don’t throw on sneakers\u2014the look is at its best when you’re wearing fun pumps or flats (or, hear me out, satin platforms) in a surprising color with similarly pigmented hosiery.\n<\/p>\n

      When I was in Sweden a few months ago, all the cool girls were running around in burgundy ballet flats and matching tights. Now it’s cold enough here that we’re doing the same. The look has been popping up all over Instagram (Lily Allen did it with purple for a British<\/em>Vogue<\/em> shoot, and two Next Gen NYC<\/em> stars wore it to BravoCon), and I’m sure we’re going to see it everywhere else this holiday season, too. Stay tuned for Kendall Jenner’s Christmas slideshow.\n<\/p>\n

      How to Wear It <\/span><\/h2>\n

      Getting the look is so simple considering how much weight the combo pulls. All you need to do is find a pair of tights that match your favorite shoes. They can be a few shades different, but the closer the better.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      It obviously works the other way, too\u2014you can find shoes to match your tights. And if you have a particularly iconic pair in your wardrobe, I might suggest that. Otherwise<\/em>, it makes the most sense to browse the accessory brands secondary. Fun tights are in, and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll find exactly what you\u2019re looking for by scrolling Hue, L’Eggs, or Swedish Stockings.\n<\/p>\n
