For a long decade, tights were a matter of practicality, an almost nameless texture that served to "warm" or cover us. Black, skin, maybe sometimes gray. At best, inconspicuous, at worst - boring. But fashion has its whims - and thank God, its imagination. Autumn/Winter 2025 has finally declared colored tights as the fashion move that those who understand the subtle power of style dare to wear.
On the catwalks – from Prada to Calzedonia, from Miu Miu to Cecilia Bahnsen – this year, colored tights are back in full force. And we're not talking about the childish, cheap pastel versions, but about bold, intense, strong colors that create contrast, emphasize the silhouette and give the outfit that unique touch. editorial effect. Parisians wear them, Copenhagen girls wear them, and now it's time for you to start wearing them too.

2. Cobalt Blue Nylons: Cool Elegance with a Street Twist
If fashion had a playlist, cobalt blue would play electropop with a strong bass line. It's a color that immediately attracts attention, but is not intrusive. It looks expensive, although it doesn't have to be. Cobalt tights give an outfit an edge, something urban, maybe even futuristic - especially when combined with minimalism.

3. Emerald green nylons: fashion that smells like art
Emerald green tights have become the secret trump card of fashion editors this year. They are a color that carries intellect, drama and vintage sophistication. They are not playful like mint green, they are not Christmas - emerald is darkly elegant, almost mystical. Perfect for a night out, the theater or a day when you want to be a lady with a story.

We wear them with a sense of texture and color:
– Combined with velvet or satin materials (perfect textural play)
– With cashmere, wool and tweed, for the perfect retro vibe
– With black pumps or burgundy ankle boots

Emerald tights are the ones you wear when you want to make an impression without a single unnecessary statement.
What about black pantyhose?

In a world that finally dares to dream again, it's time for more color, more character, more... tights that don't go unnoticed. The black ones will wait in the drawer. In the meantime, treat yourself to tights that really lift your mood - and your outfit.
