‘Tis the season of hosiery. Paired with a mini skirt and a sequin blazer (we're looking <br>
<br>
at you, Selena Gomez), or styled with a little black dress and a pair of killer heels (à la Alexa Chung at the Fashion Awards), tights and stockings are a great way to add style - <br>
<br>
and perhaps an extra layer of warmth - to your outfits during <br>
<br>
the autumn and winter months.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
From matte to glossy, opaque to sheer, and black to skin-toned <br>
<br>
shades, there's a lot more to consider than just the denier number <br>
<br>
when it comes to picking out a pair of classic tights. And then, of course, there <br>
<br>
is also patterned hosiery (think delicate designs like a back seam, polka dots or lace detailing) to elevate your winter style.<br>

In 2024, tights should no longer be an obligation but a fashion choice.<br>
<br>
Google searches for ‘tights' are up by 115% since the temperatures first dropped,<br>
<br>
and at high-street favourite M&S two pairs are sold every minute.<br>
<br>
So what styles are we buying?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The top spot is claimed by the retailer's 60 Denier Body Sensor Tights <br>
<br>
(a handy three-pack that sells for just £8 and is available <br>
<br>
in a black, navy and brown). The 40 Denier Body Sensor Tights (£8 for a three-pack) are second <br>
<br>
favourite, followed by the 30 Denier Body Sensor <br>
<br>
Tights (£8 for a three-pack). The fourth most popular pair is the 60 Denier Magicwear Opaque Tights (£14 for a <br>
<br>
two-pack), and the top five is rounded out by the 100 Denier Magicwear <br>
<br>
Opaque Tights (£14 for a two-pack).<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
M&S believes the decision between opaque and sheer tights should be based on the formality <br>
<br>
of our outfit. ‘Opaque black tights will go with basically everything.<br>
<br>
Often said to clash with black; blue or brown hues are also an option.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
‘Sheer tights are great for more formal occasions and warmer temperatures, as <br>
<br>
they provide a lighter and more breathable option,' the <br>
<br>
high street giant added. ‘You can achieve that elegant, barely-there look with a little extra coverage.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Similarly, intricate patterns, logos and glitter <br>
<br>
are best suited for evening looks, says M&S.<br>
<br>
‘For a daytime or office look, stick with polka dots or diamond patterned tights, or <br>
<br>
if you're looking for some added cosiness, try cable-knit tights <br>
<br>
for some subtle texture.'<br>
