If there’s anything we’ve learnt over the past week or so, it’s that Autumn is officially here, and this year it’s come back with ice-cold vengeance. With the temperature decreasing day after day and the wind chill showing no signs of easing up, it’s essential that your wardrobe supports you through this tough transitional period.

If you’ve got a lavish party or date night dinner in the calendar and are struggling for what to wear, fear not, because Emily Blunt just perfected the ultimate AW25 occasionwear ensemble, and it’s both practical and chic.

Spotted in London on the red carpet (or should we say, black carpet) for the UK premiere of her newest movie, The Smashing Machine, the award-winning actress oozed autumnal prowess in a backless, chocolate brown silk mini dress, complete with a long flowing train, high neck and long sleeves. To complement the look and make it transitional appropriate, Emily added a set of ultra-sheer, red polka dot tights, a style choice which elevated the look to all new heights.

To allow all emphasis to be on her dazzling ensemble, Emily wore her brunette locks slicked back into a middle-parted ballerina bun, the perfect style for when the wind isn’t in your favour.

Makeup-wise, The Devil Wears Prada star kept things natural with a glowing face base and chiselled contour. Her dreamy blue eyes were emphasised with a warm brown shimmer and lashing of mascara.

As far as hosiery trends go for 2025, Emily is most definitely leading the charge, proving that a coloured and patterned option is definitely the most fun. However, if you’re someone who likes to keep things classic, a sleek black option will forever be in style – just ask Hailey Bieber and Alexa Chung.

The weather this week sends a clear signal—it’s time to wear tights.

But the question is, what kind of legwear works best right now? And more importantly, which styles should we choose as we move into midlife and beyond?

You only need to look online to see it’s a common conundrum.

One Mumsnet user asked: “Are sheer tights a bit old lady?”, while others pondered, “Are skirts and tights old-fashioned?” and, “Can’t recall the last time I saw a pair of black opaques”.

It’s a quandary that affects women across the country, and our beloved fashion designers are not making it an easy one to solve.

Looking at the catwalks, we would all be tottering around with lace legs à la Alexa Chung on the Valentino runway, or school uniform-style ribbed tights as seen in Prada’s collection, or crazier still, the Crayola-coloured pins that dominated Miu Miu’s autumn-winter show.

Of course, there can be a place for those looks — but maybe not for your day-to-day outfit.

Luckily, our favourite midlife celebrities have more sense.

Look to Pamela Anderson, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba and Catherine Zeta-Jones for autumn tights inspiration.

These women, all in their fifties, look absolutely stunning in their stilettos and sheer black tights.

So any of you gorgeous ladies wondering whether to show off a bit of leg in a pair of 5, 10 or 20 deniers this season, do not hesitate to do so.

This style is timeless.

Ultra-thin tights actually contour your legs and blur any bumps, bruises or veins while allowing your natural skin to be seen.

They make your legs look smooth and almost polished.

A non-surgical fashion treatment — what’s not to love?

If you suffer from varicose veins or want a little more coverage, patterned sheer tights — like Diane Kruger’s rose-patterned pair — are also in and a good choice for an evening.

Or if you’re feeling brave enough to try the coloured hosiery trend, you could plump for burgundy, perhaps, like Olivia Cooke.

Overall, though, sheer black is a failsafe choice.

Still concerned about looking unfashionable?

‘OUT OF TOUCH’
There is one style of tights which will instantly put you in the “doesn’t have a clue” category.

My Gen Z colleagues tell me they would not be seen dead in thick 100 denier tights — they draw the line at 40, but prefer to go sheer or completely tights-free.

Wearing thicker legwear is an instant giveaway of your millennial or Gen X status.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it could signal being slightly out of touch.

I remember the moment I realised that wearing 40+ denier tights was not flattering.

That was my go-to denier in my early twenties.

But looking back at photos as I approached 30, I realised that my legs looked thicker and the block of colour was not by any stretch of the imagination cool or flattering.

The black drained the life out of my pale face and body.

Today, young women have realised that sheer hosiery is so much more flattering.

Sheer or shimmering tights elevate an outfit, giving a glamorous edge to any look.

Youthful fans include Hailey Bieber, Zoe Kravitz, Maya Jama and Suki Waterhouse.

These sheer styles simply knock the socks off other hosiery, in my opinion.

Another no-go is skin-coloured tights.

Another no-go is skin-coloured tights.

Think thick Nora Batty styles which are meant to imitate the colour of the wearer’s skin.

Batty, the no-nonsense Yorkshirewoman from 1970s sitcom Last Of The Summer Wine, was in her late fifties during the show’s heyday.

Unlike today’s A-list fiftysomethings, such as Pammy and Ange, Nora was considered the epitome of an unfashionable, middle-aged woman.

SOPHISTICATED & SEXY

I can’t think of anyone who wears nude tights and looks good these days, apart from royals and dignitaries.

So ladies, forget about your 100 deniers or nude numbers — sheer black tights are sophisticated, sexy and can be suitable for any occasion, whatever your age.

On the runway, top brands like Miu Miu, Gucci, and Valentino are redefining legwear. First, they showcase crumpled knee-highs peeking from peep-toe heels. Next, they mix bold patterned tights with layers of sheer fabrics. Even L’eggs, a heritage brand with 50 years of history, now sells striking reds and violets instead of plain corporate beige. In short, these styles are nothing like our mothers’ stockings. Finally, here’s how we would style them.

Rock the Color Block

First, try translucent pink socks layered over bold purple tights. This mix creates depth while keeping the look sleek. Then, add pointed Gucci mules to bring in fresh New Wave energy.

Two May Be Better Than One

These slinky Miu Miu socks are ultra-thin, so layering feels effortless. As a result, they create a soft, barely-there contrast. Best of all, the look stays sleek with no bulky silhouettes in sight.

Lean Into Monochrome

To highlight intricate Valentino Garavani heels, the tights must stay simple yet stylish. Therefore, choose textured tights in the same color but a softer shade. This way, the shoes stand out while the details truly shine.

Grab the Scissors

You know your style best, so why not design socks or tights in your own image? Simply cut up hose into any shape you like. Then, pair them with sleek slingback heels, such as these chic YSL designs, for a bold and creative finish.

Channel Your Inner Coquette

These Dior heels radiate major sex appeal. However, pairing them with a demure Sandy Liang sock instantly softens the vibe. As a result, the look feels balanced and highlights a touch of sweetness.

Go for Extremes

When a pairing feels unexpected, why not try it anyway? For example, add a frilly bow to these bold Louis Vuitton boots. At first, it may seem all wrong, but in fashion, that twist makes it perfectly right.

Cozy Can Still Look Cool

These McQueen boots are true runway showstoppers. However, they need a little grounding for real-life wear. That’s why a cozy, Flashdance-inspired knit sock balances the look and brings those rock-star heels back down to earth.

Get Into Step

A romantic pair of Ferragamo heels instantly sets the mood for dancing. In fact, they make us want to break out our best bachata moves. Then, add black fishnet tights, and the dance floor will never see it coming.

Layer Fishnets With Lace

Tucked under these feminine Chanel boots, wide white netting instantly elongates the leg. Plus, it adds a playful cabaret vibe.

Add a Polka Dot or Two

If you’re in the mood to microdose this trendy pattern, tights like these are a low-commitment point of entry and a good backdrop for these sharp orange Fendi shoes.

Play With Sheers

A sheer, nude stocking worn over a pair of fishnets gives the illusion of iridescent legs while keeping the look texturally dynamic. The Chloé slingbacks are the cherry on top, adding length and contrast.

The Duchess of Sussex recently opened up about a fashion rule she disliked. In a Bloomberg interview, she revealed that the royal dress code forced her to wear nude pantyhose “all the time.” However, she admitted they made her feel “a little bit inauthentic.”

Still, her complaint is surprisingly relatable. After all, many women agree that pantyhose are uncomfortable and outdated. In fact, even the word “pantyhose” makes people cringe. Meanwhile, tights—whether called pantyhose in the U.S. or hosiery in Europe—continue to divide opinion.

For example, in a quick WhatsApp poll, every one of my friends said they dislike pantyhose. One remarked, “I haven’t worn them since school.” Another explained, “It’s the gussets.” The least popular styles included pearlescent versions, often compared to “shiny sausage casings.” Similarly, the once-popular American Tan shades—now renamed “Powder,” “Sand,” “Golden,” or “Champagne”—still failed to impress. Exotic names, therefore, cannot disguise the fact that many women remain firmly anti-pantyhose.

There is no strict royal rule about wearing tights. However, Queen Elizabeth II was believed to prefer that female royals follow her example. Like many women of her generation, the late monarch was never seen without them. Over time, her sheer stockings with back seams were replaced by beige 60-denier tights, which offered both warmth and coverage.

Meanwhile, other royals such as Princess Anne, the Countess of Wessex, and the Princess of Wales also chose to wear tights. In fact, the Princess of Wales often opts for affordable £6 Barely There Non-Slip tights from John Lewis. Therefore, tights remain a quiet but consistent tradition in royal wardrobes.

The Duchess of Sussex may dislike nude pantyhose. Yet, in some professions, they are still part of the dress code. For example, female cabin crew are required to wear hosiery whenever their uniform includes a skirt. However, most airlines now provide trousers as an alternative.

In the UK, British Airways, EasyJet, and Ryanair allow black or navy tights to match their uniforms. This option is far more popular than the dreaded tan shades. On the other hand, Virgin Atlantic’s crew are less fortunate. Their iconic red and white uniforms, created by Vivienne Westwood, require nude or tan tights. Still, this rule can be avoided by choosing the trouser option instead.

Tights are also an expectation in many corporate roles, particularly in banking, consulting or law, with hosiery seen as a key part of maintaining a professional look, particularly when representing your firm at formal events. Where a skirt or dress is part of the uniform, tights are also mandatory for female police officers, members of the military, hotel staff and retail workers. Female nurses are also expected to wear tights when skirts are worn, though this is more for reasons of hygiene than aesthetic, since covered legs can help reduce the risk of infection.

Unless they are a Strictly contestant or a figure skater, however, most professional women can manage to avoid tan tights in favour of more flattering, modern workarounds. Some may even subscribe to the Duchess of Sussex’s view that tights are “not very myself” and eschew them entirely. When I was at school (admittedly a long time ago), my female teachers wouldn’t have dreamed of entering school premises with bare legs. Today’s teachers seem to be held to less exacting standards. As do journalists: I frequently wore bare legs to the office, hoping I had a pass to do so working on the fashion desk.

For if there’s one profession where “nude pantyhose” are completely verboten, it’s fashion. I’ve seen editors – including Anna Wintour – in bare legs and pencil skirts in a snowstorm, when the mercury was minus 10. Karl Lagerfeld may have opined that sweatpants are a sign of defeat, but among his A-list fans, tights are a far greater evil. For models, actresses and fashion folk, “nude” unequivocally means “bare”, whatever the occasion or time of year.

Following the release of her latest album, Man’s Best Friend, Sabrina Carpenter is embracing the style of the era. On August 29, after grabbing dinner at Alba in Los Angeles, she was spotted twinning with her adorable puppy. Meanwhile, Carpenter, styled by Jared Ellner, rocked a head-to-toe Thom Browne look. In contrast, her furry companion sported a simple black tie, adding a sweet touch to the ensemble.

Fans were thrilled by Carpenter’s return to the spotlight, which included the release of her new single “Tears” and its captivating music video. As she was spotted leaving the celebrity-favorite restaurant, the “Taste” singer wowed in a sheer white Thom Browne shirt. In addition, she paired the top with the designer’s School Uniform Plain Weave Mini Pleated Wrap Skirt, priced at $1,790.

Carpenter and her best friend—the beautiful golden puppy—both wore matching black ties. However, the standout piece of her outfit was undoubtedly her dog-motif tights, also by Thom Browne. Unfortunately, the $150 Hector-Motif Tights are sold out everywhere, and it’s easy to see why—they’re simply irresistible.
