12 Patterned tights you need in your fall wardrobe

For too long, women have succumbed to the allure of warm pants when the weather turns cold.

Those days are behind us, ladies. With the return of tights as a fashion statement, you can forego pants and look damn good (and kind of warm) doing it. Here are 12 of the sweetest patterned tights that we can’t wait to try this fall.

1. Lace and fishnet

Fishnet gets an even more sensual appeal when it’s paired with lace detailing. (Express, $25)

2. Polka dot charm

Wear these eye-catching polka dot tights with a bright red or white sheath dress to turn heads like a boss. (Classic Shapewear, $33)

3. Sheer and opaque lace

The intricate design of these tights will look great playing peek-a-boo underneath a sexy tunic dress. (Free People, $55)

4. In-style ombre

The ombre trend isn’t just for your locks. These tights prove that ombre looks great on your gams, too. (Virivee, $38)

5. Baroquely romantic

We love these baroque-style tights. Frankly, all fashion should look like a work of art. (Express, $25) 

6. Gem-tone gams

You can’t go wrong with gem tones in the fall. Why not draw a little extra attention to your legs? (Hue, $15)

7. Preppy argyle

Is preppy more your thing? We love these argyle tights for a style that is ready for the office. (New York & Company, $8)

8. Hot metallic

When it comes to tights, metallic is just about as wild as a person can get. Go for a chromatic look with a subtle metallic shade like pewter. (Macy’s, $7)

9. Poetry and butterflies

Your legs will look like a piece of art once you wrestle them into these feminine tights. (ModCloth, $10)

10. Classic fishnet

Sure, you can go with a more muted fishnet than this bold pair — but why? (Sock Dreams, $10)

11. Studly and studded

Studs aren’t just for dating, ladies. Enjoy a few metallic studs on your tights for a glammed-up iteration of the polka dot trend. (Forever 21, $10)

12. Uniquely striped

These delicate, striped tights look perfect for a ballerina. Or, you know, any woman who loves to wear ballerina flats and adorable dresses. (Anthropologie, $25)
