Ready to make a transitional statement this year? Go big and bold with our edit of funky tights and leggings below, featuring picks from Zimmermann, Marine Serre and Pucci.

(Somewhat) Show Off Your Legs This Transitional Season With These Statement Tights & Leggings

Fish out your fishnets, pull on your pantyhose and shimmy into your stockings: this transitional season we’re layering up with our favourite pairs of tights and leggings. Feeling some 2010’s nostalgia? Good. That’s exactly where we want to be.

In the lead up to autumn, we’re seeing brands finding new ways to breathe life into hosiery. Think swirling patterns, neon colour palettes, cut-outs and fun textures. Australian luxury brand Zimmerman is one to watch when it comes to this trend – just look at its recent AW22 collection for reference – decorating its leggings with whimsical illustrations inspired by astrology and star signs.

Others are keeping it cool and sleek. Merine Serre, renowned for its crescent stamped fabrics, continues to make tights and leggings decorated in geometric patterns, and French label Mugler offers a bold look by covering its leggings in cut-outs and mesh panels (absolutely nothing wrong with a little sex appeal).

Want to try the trend? Find some inspiration in our edit below. As always, keep the planet in mind when shopping. Re-wearing old clothes is the best way to be sustainable, but if you can’t avoid it then shop consciously at responsible retailers, as well as rental and resale sites.
