There are tons of different styling options with tights that are chic, fashionable, timeless — and very importantly, as warm as can be. According to Vogue, one of the best ways to style tights in any fashionista's playbook is pairing them with shorts. While you might scratch your head at the combo, the end result is actually extremely cute, while still being weather appropriate. As per the outlet, the pair is "the ultimate transitional styling hack" and is the perfect answer to your "French girl wardrobe" dreams — aka the kind of outfits so often seen on French street style influencers like Jeanne Damas and Sabina Socol. According to the magazine, one of the best ways to get this Chanel-approved pairing right is by mixing black tights with rock-n-roll approved leather shorts, boots, and a sharply tailored white shirt. You can also wear tights under a shorts suit in a cool hue for fall-to-winter glam, or get inspired by "Emily in Paris" and opt for a tweed blazer or oversized plaid coat with shorts or a miniskirt instead.

If you're planning on wearing nude tights to the office, Fashion Week Online says you should remember to choose a pair that matches your skin tone and is completely matte for a natural, airbrushed look à la Kate Middleton. If you plan on going for dark tights, remember to stick to closed toe boots or loafers, and if opting for patterned tights, keep your outfit simple.
