Tights Please recently set me a blogger challenge: styling a pair of coloured and patterned tights! The tights in question are the Red Or Dead Erica tights in cobalt. I really like the silver criss-cross pattern up each leg, however I’ve never worn blue tights before so building an outfit around them was definitely an interesting challenge for me. I decided to put include the tights in three different outfits for three different occasions:
SMART
Dress – Topshop | Bag – The Quiet Riot | Shoes – eBay
Here I’m wearing the blue tights with a nude dress and black suede shoes and bag and a silver cuff. The neutral colours help to tone down the tights to make them more appropriate for a dinner with friends or family, or a small get-together!
CASUAL
Velvet shirt – vintage | Jumper – Primark | Skirt – Primark | Boots – Primark
I chose to pair the tights with a very wintery outfit for my casual look, because I think that they’re well suited to A/W fashion. I layered a thick black knitted jumper over a deep burgundy velvet shirt and faux leather pleated skirt, and finished it off with faux leather ankle boots. The colours are dark and don’t clash with the tights, making them the statement piece of this outfit.
PARTY
Top – eBay | Shorts – American Apparel | Shoes – Topshop
For a night out / party look, I chose to focus on the silver pattern in the tights and chose my top and shoes to match. I’m wearing black American Apparel disco shorts to fully show off the tights.
What do you think? Which is your favourite? Would you rock coloured tights?

The casual look works really well! I used to wear coloured tights all the time and still do own several colours, this has inspired me to dig them out again!

This is such a great post, I love your looks I can't decide a favourite! I'm obsessed with coloured tights! XxxX http://thesecondhandrose.blogspot.co.uk
The first and last outfits are my favourite – and i love the coloured tights used as a way to wear hotpants (I've been trawling through asos trying not to buy printed hotpants because I just don't know how to wear them, or more so wear to wear them TO) haha
I love your casual look the best and also that you wore long stuff on top,hate when ppl wear tights with short tops not cool. You rock all these looks. Great job 🙂

Love the looks. Can't decide which I prefer between the casual and the party outfits. That hint of red/plum in the collar of the shirt in the casual outfit is genius! Check out some more reviews of these exact tights at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMyBP0HyIXc
