In the past, many believed wearing tights with sandals was a major fashion mistake—even in winter. However, this spring, fashion experts are confidently breaking that rule. After all, who better to set trends than industry insiders?
So now, tights with sandals are officially in style. Surprisingly, they’re not paired with the shoes you’d expect.
If you’ve ever worn tights with open-toe shoes, you likely played it safe with black stockings and strappy heels. While still a bit bold, this combo is quickly becoming mainstream—thanks to celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and stylish streetwear stars embracing the trend.
Lately, stylish women have taken the trend even further by wearing tights with unexpected shoes—even thong sandals once seen as off-limits.
Former Man Repeller editor Leandra Medine rocked sheer black tights with thong sandals—yes, thong sandals. She completed the bold look with long black trouser shorts and a bright red jacket.
She’s not alone. Model Vittoria Ceretti and other street-style stars are also pairing their tights with thong sandals.
At first, this combo might seem unexpected. But it’s actually a smart styling hack for transitional weather. It lets you pack away winter clothes and start wearing spring shorts, dresses, and sandals—while staying warm on cooler days. So go ahead and rock your tights with sandals confidently.
