One of the items I look most forward to wearing in the fall are tights.  I know you can wear them in the summer, but I’ve never really felt comfortable doing so or I’ve never felt like I really knew how .

Once fall rolls around and the leaves start hitting the ground, the chilly weather forces me to wear tights and stockings under my skirts and dresses.   I’m already doing my annual stock-up in summer in anticipation, and a pair or two of the Bebaroque tights are on my list.

Bebaroque was started in 2007 and the label won the Scottish Accessory Designer of the Year award at the Scottish Fashion awards in 2008.  The products are designed in Scotland and the designs are hand embroidered or printed on.   If you’re in the US, you can buy the their products at Nasty Gal or My Tights online. The price can be a bit steep ranging from about $40-60 for a pair, but I’ve heard only good things about the quality so far.  I was at first a bit skeptical about the fit, because they are one size, but they supposedly adjust well to the range of sizes.

Here are the two pairs I’m eyeing:

The Bebaroque Dorothy Tights

Bebaroque Venus 15D Tights

A bit eye catching?   Yes!  These are definitely tights that will make a statement when you wear them.

The thing that I love about fall/winter the most are the tights/stockings. Nothing signals the start of the cold season to me more than covering up the bare legs. I’m a big fan of Givenchy hoisery, which is pretty durable and they always have some nice patterns. However, I see that Urban Outfitters has some nice tights/leggings (I sometimes wear leggings as tights). I might have to check them out. Here are some cute options:

These Either or Tights are pretty adorable.  Yes, they are a knock off of the Chanel Two Tone tights, but a much cheaper option and just as chic.

I love the delicate look of these Wallpaper Floral Crochet Tights.

The more intricate the pattern, the more I like it.

And although these are leggings, I’d wear these with some nice knee length boots or shoe booties.
