Festive Tights Are the MVP of Holiday Dressing

POV: You're up to your neck in holiday-party invites (or maybe you're even hosting an intimate affair yourself), and like clockwork, you've found yourself gazing into a closet full of clothes with seemingly "nothing to wear." Maybe you've pulled together a final round of top contenders, yet it feels incomplete. The missing component? A pair of festive tights.

Sure, holiday outfits can begin to feel a bit redone year after year, but fun-loving accessories will never fail to add an element of interest. For the lover of color, there's the opportunity to further incorporate holiday hues by layering opaque tights under a quirky skirt, while for a black-and-white affair, you may find yourself reaching for tights that add personality through texture and lace prints. Either way, stocking up on two to three pairs is bound to be a lifesaver this season. Ahead, here are a few need-to-know tips for zhuzhing up your holiday ensemble with tights and a few styles we know you're going to want to shop.
