Month: December 2024

Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande have had exciting years, earning Golden Globe nominations in the best supporting actress category. Gomez is recognized for her role in Emilia Pérez, while Grande shines in Wicked. On December 10, the two friends reunited at the Academy Women’s Luncheon in Los Angeles, hosted by Chanel. Both stars dazzled in elegant tweeds and heels from the iconic French brand.

Selena Gomez chose a chic outfit with a button-down collared top and a pencil skirt adorned with off-center buttons. Her top featured fold-over pockets and elegant white accents on the collar and sleeve cuffs. Meanwhile, Ariana Grande wore a stylish multi-colored sleeveless minidress with a deep V-neck. The dress included pockets embellished with crystals and pearl trim. To complete her look, Grande carried a black quilted purse, adding a touch of timeless sophistication.

Selena Gomez perfectly complemented her outfit with white and black pumps featuring a rounded toe. These stylish shoes showcased a platform and a tall block heel, adding height and elegance to her look. While primarily white, the pumps stood out with a black cap toe and two buckled ankle straps. This eye-catching design debuted on the runway in Paris during Chanel’s Spring 2025 show, a glamorous event held at the iconic Grand Palais.

Ariana Grande also chose cap-toe pumps, but her pair featured a sleek black design with a pointed toe and stiletto heel. Both actresses completed their outfits with sheer black tights, a timeless and elegant choice that added sophistication while enhancing their footwear styles.

As a devoted fan of jeans and trousers, I’ve typically reserved skirts and dresses for the summer months only. However, this winter, I’m committed to expanding my fashion choices and incorporating them into my wardrobe. Yet, this brings up a practical challenge. Wearing bare legs during the cold winter months isn’t an option for me, which means layering with tights. For years, I’ve struggled to see this pairing as stylish—it always felt more like a school uniform than a chic fashion statement.

Well, dear reader, I was wrong. Fashion experts far more stylish than I am have shown that tights can be both cozy and sophisticated when paired with your favorite skirt. The secret lies in nailing the formula: combining the right shoes, hem length, and top. This season, the choices for fashionable tights are endless. For a chic French-inspired vibe, go for barely-there sheer tights. If you prefer a playful, Scandinavian touch, try thicker, colorful tights that make your skirt and shoes stand out.

Still need convincing? Keep scrolling to discover my top six skirt-and-tights looks that I can’t wait to recreate this winter.

1. Slip Skirt + Semi-Sheer Tights + Turtleneck + Slingback Heels

Style Notes: This outfit radiates French sophistication, and the vintage charm of the slip skirt paired with a faux fur coat is stunning. I used to think slips and tights were an unusual combination, but Sylvie shows just how effortlessly chic it can be.

2. Grey Skirt + Grey Tights + Burgundy Knitwear

Style Notes: I’ve never imagined wanting to wear grey tights, but Julie’s outfit has more than convinced me. I especially love how it lets the red—this season’s hottest colour—pop, while working so subtly with the grey skirt.

3. Pleated Mini Skirt + Semi-Sheer Tights + Riding Boots + Cardigan

Style Notes: Pleated skirts and tights may feel reminiscent of school uniforms, but leave it to the Scandis to make them look playful and effortlessly chic. The high hemline is perfectly on-trend and looks especially polished when styled with a long coat and the ever-popular knee-high boots.

4. Leopard Print Skirt + Tights + Black Top + Pointed-Toe Heels

Style Notes: Leopard print is the must-have pattern of the season, and it transitions beautifully into winter when paired with tights. Choose sheer black tights to add a touch of relaxed sexiness to your skirt-and-jumper combo, channeling effortless French sophistication.

5. Mini Skirt + Tights + Biker Boots + Shearling Jacket

Style Notes: Biker boots are a must-have this winter, perfect for adding a touch of edge to delicate outfits. Unsurprisingly, they pair beautifully with skirts, and adding tights makes the look both stylish and winter-ready.

6. Leather Pencil Skirt + Ultra-Sheer Tights + Bodysuit + Patent Heels

Style Notes: Leave it to the queen of party looks to show that tights and skirts can be the perfect evening combination. The mix of textures—like a leather skirt and semi-sheer tights—creates an elegant yet sexy vibe, making it the ideal choice for a night out.

Tights have never been a main feature in my wardrobe until now. While I wear them often, it’s usually for practicality. Sure, they look stylish, but I’ve always chosen them out of necessity rather than desire.
