Chic Ways to Add Tights to Your Work Wardrobe This Fall
One editor, four styles.

Meet the hardest-working accessory in your dresser: tights. If you don’t already own a go-to pair or you could use more in your rotation, fall is the perfect time to grab some new high-quality options. Not sure where to start? Calzedonia tights are not only functional for cold weather, but the simple staple can easily elevate any outfit.
Need inspo? Below, Marie Claire's fashion news editor Marina Liao shows how to style four different pairs of tights for the office.
1. White tights and camel coat
Black opaque tights may be your go-to for the office, but white looks especially chic beneath something with a camel or tan color. Not to mention, these tights are made with a soft-touch microfiber, so you'll be comfortable all day.
Pro tip: Wear your favorite coat as a belted dress, like Marina, with the white tights peeking out. Round out the look with a pair of snakeskin boots.
Calzedonia soft touch tights, $9; Merlette coat, $980; Vince boots, $450
2. Black skirt and white sweater
Patterned tights always make a statement, but if you're looking for a more subtle approach, take note. Here, Marina pairs black Calzedonia zigzag tights with an asymmetrical ruched skirt. A chunky white sweater adds texture and elevates the outfit to a more business-casual look.
Calzedonia zig zag tights, $15; Staud sweater, $210; By Malene Birger midi skirt, $325; By Far shoes, $475; Completed Works earrings; Edas bag, $60

3. Blazer dress
A tailored blazer-dress calls for equally luxe tights, and the soft, fine wool in cashmere will keep you warm on chilly commutes to work. Add a pair of heels to elevate the look (and give yourself a few inches).
Calzedonia cashmere tights, $20; Tibi dress, $795; By Far heels, $485; Alexis Bittar earrings, $101.50
4. Burgundy sweater and skirt
To keep the focus on a tonal look, go totally sheer with your tights—try this seamless pair with a comfort waistband. On top, play with a variety of textures, like Marina's knit sweater, satin skirt, and leather boots.
Calzedonia sheer matte tights, $15; Vince tunic, $395 and boots, $450; Petite Studio skirt, $179; Demarson earrings, $215
