Month: December 2025

The holiday season always brings elevated fashion moments — and this year, celebrities are turning tights into a standout styling piece. Far from being an afterthought, sheer tights and patterned hosiery are playing leading roles in festive looks, from cocktail events to cozy winter nights. Here’s how four style icons embraced this trend with flair.

Heidi Klum’s Lace-Forward Party Energy

Supermodel Heidi Klum delivered a masterclass in bold party dressing this season with her holiday campaign look featuring Calzedonia’s see-through floral lace tights paired with a micro skirt. Santa season meets sleek glamour in this burgundy monochrome moment, balanced with simple stilettos and a textured Henley top. The lace tights aren’t just an accessory — they’re the headline of the outfit, proving that hosiery can be both festive and fashion-forward even in cold weather.

Lauren Sánchez Bezos: Elevated Holiday Hostess Style

At a recent holiday gathering, Lauren Sánchez Bezos elevated winter chic with sheer black tights under a fitted crop top and mini skirt ensemble, layered with a plush fur coat that added texture and warmth. The tights anchor the look, elongating her silhouette while pairing perfectly with pointed heels for a refined-yet-playful finish — the kind of outfit that feels suited to both festive soirées and editorial spreads.

Livvy Dunne’s Playful Date-Night Chic

Influencer and athlete Livvy Dunne brought a more intimate, lifestyle angle to holiday fashion with sheer black tights under her little black dress during a candlelit dinner outing. The tights extend her silhouette and add a chic polish to a classic LBD, while also nodding to the festive season’s social energy. In another snapshot, she paired tights with a cozy holiday miniskirt look that leans into fun and youthful winter vibes.

Millie Bobby Brown’s Unexpected Edge

Taking a more avant-garde approach, Millie Bobby Brown has been spotted blending sheer tights into trend-forward, experimental outfit combinations — even playing into the underwear-as-outerwear aesthetic with tights and unexpected pairing pieces, accented by quirky fluffy earmuffs. This mix of textures and playful layering shows how tights can be mixed with contrasting elements for bold winter statements.

Why Tights are a Holiday Style Staple

Far from a utilitarian winter layer, stylish tights have become a key fashion component in 2025’s seasonal wardrobes. Whether they’re sheer, patterned, lace-detailed or classic black, tights add dimension, elongation and a sense of crafted polish to festive outfits — making them the unsung hero of holiday dressing.

The Princess of Wales has always been respectable and modest with her fashion choices. No matter what royal engagement she’s attending, you can bet her hemline will be the correct length, she won’t be exposing any skin, and her entire ensemble will have a classic aesthetic.

When it comes to the art of wearing hosiery, the mother-of-three has it down to a fine art. The brunette royal, who was recently described as the ‘Eternal Influencer’ by British Vogue, is never without her trusty tights. From nude, flesh-toned to opaque and black, Kate has worn them all.

She’s even stepped out in brown tights, which are incredibly current right now. As a fashion editor with over fifteen years of experience writing about fashion trends, I am delighted to see that brown tights have returned to the forefront of fashion for 2025. I personally find them more flattering than black, as they give the wearer a softer tone that suits many different skin pigments.

I also think brown tights can look sophisticated and elegant, too. Take a quick scroll through your Instagram feed, and you will be met with copious amounts of content creators opting to go brown with their hosiery. Pioneering Kate has been wearing her brown tights since 2012. Which look is your favourite?

2012

In 2012, Kate was pictured on an official visit to the Peterborough City Hospital. Then known as the Duchess of Cambridge, she wore a buttermilk-coloured coat by MaxMara Studio, with a pair of brown boots that exquisitely matched her brown tights. The colourway of the look was slightly muted, and the tights gave the ensemble a warm finish.

2013

Kate was widely regarded as the best-dressed at the Cheltenham Festival in 2013. Looking tailored and formal, the royal wore a peach-toned coat by Joseph and amped up the finish by sporting a myriad of brown accessories; her ‘Betty Boop’ hat by Lock & Co, brown suede Stuart Weitzman ‘Zipkin’ boots, a brown suede clutch by Emmy London and mocha-toned tights to match.

2014

On Christmas Day in 2014, Kate attended a church service at Sandringham and the waiting crowds that formed loved her autumnal look, which consisted of a luxurious, light brown coat by Moloh, her beloved pillbox hat by Lock & Co, and a pair of Cornelia James brown gloves. Her coordinating brown tights were the ideal mirroring accompaniment.

Brown tights, the facts

LTK, one of the world’s most well-known shopping apps, has seen a huge interest in brown tights. In their weekly trend spotlight round-up, the platform noted that searches for this trend went up by 100 per cent this week alone.

How to style brown tights

“Brown tights are having a major comeback, and it’s no mystery why they’re the quiet luxury of legwear,” Georgie Gray, professional stylist, tells HELLO!.

Georgie, who has styled an abundance of celebrities, including Mollie-Mae Hague, added: “Softer than black and richer than nude, they add instant depth to any outfit while keeping things effortlessly polished.”

Remarking on their comeback into style, the talented professional mused: “Their return isn’t about nostalgia, it’s about a new code for sophisticated dressing. Everyone’s rediscovering their power; they lengthen the leg, elevate the outfit, and whisper ‘luxury’ without trying.”

Georgie, who put together Zara McDermott’s red carpet look for the 2022 BRIT Awards, helpfully explained: “Think of them as the warm-toned filter your winter looks have been waiting for this season. It’s all about espressos, caramels, and mochas. Style them with chunky knits, mini skirts, or tonal layers for that effortless ‘I just get fashion’ energy. Versatile, chic, and understated in the best way, brown tights aren’t just trending, they’re officially a wardrobe essential,” she advises.

This video clearly breaks down the five main types of machines, their specific functions, and final products—from ribbed cuffs to seamless activewear. A must-watch for anyone in apparel manufacturing or sourcing.

It’s also a helpful reminder that specialized products like tights and socks come from dedicated machines (hosiery machines), each designed for precision and efficiency.

All of a sudden, everyone is searching for patterned tights—Google Trends has seen an increase in search interest of 4500 per cent over the past week—while this is exciting news for anyone looking for an easy way to elevate their winter outfits, if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my years working in fashion, it’s that not all tights trends are created equal. Some prints feel fresh, elevated and genuinely wearable… and others, well, might be best left in the archives.

So which styles are worth slipping into for winter 25/26? There are a few styles worthy of your winter rotation.

First up: argyle tights, which have made a chic comeback this season. Fashion people are leaning all the way into the wintry look, pairing them with wool skirts, cosy knits and boxy outerwear for a look that will keep you comfortable during winter’s coldest days.

Take Ariana Grande, who recently turned heads by elevating the classic crisp shirt in true argyle spirit. During a recent interview, the star opted for a plain Thom Browne shirt—a piece typically anchored by tailored trousers or a pencil skirt. Instead, she daringly wore it with nothing but sheer argyle tights underneath, offering a masterclass in how to make the pattern the undisputed focal point of an outfit. It’s proof that whether dressed up or pared down, argyle tights continue to spark stylish surprises.

Animal motifs are also prowling back onto the scene. While leopard-print tights remain a perennial favourite, cheetah and zebra versions have been cropping up across the high street and on social feeds, offering a bolder way to tap into the look.

If your style skews classic, however, you can’t go wrong with polka-dot tights. Timeless, glamorous and romantic, they’re one of the most called-upon patterns of the season.
