Patterned tights – can everyone wear them?

Polka dot tights, heart tights and fishnet tights for fuller legs – stylings 

How to choose tights that suit your figure? Many women whose figure is not ideal ask themselves this question. The truth is that most of them are not satisfied with the way their figure looks. Patterned tights are one of those wardrobe elements that, theoretically, only suit slim people. However, this is a myth that I decided to debunk today.

Patterned tights effectively draw attention to a woman's critical area of her figure, which is her legs. It is widely believed that people with thick legs, deviating from "runway" standards, should not wear polka dot or other patterned tights. This is not true – you just need to choose the right size of embroidery or prints, as well as a figure-flattering cut, to enjoy fishnet tights or other patterns.

Patterned tights – how to incorporate them into your styling so that they don't make your legs look bigger?

Patterned tights with an eye-catching design can indeed optically thicken legs. For this reason, plus size people should reject all kinds of colourful models with irregularly shaped patterns or, on the contrary, with geometric shapes that cover the entire surface of the tights. So, what styles can they wear? Polka dot tights or heart-patterned tights, which are small and do not dominate the material, will be ideal. Such charming designs emphasise femininity and girlishness of the styling, and at the same time do not affect the optical "enlargement" of the legs. Polka dot tights and other small patterns are also very fashionable and suit almost every outfit.

Tights with vertical patterns – choose this option!

Tights with vertical patterns also guarantee an optical slimming of the legs. These can be very fashionable this season stripes, elegant herringbone design, or sensual seamed tights at the back of the legs. Such models discreetly emphasize the line of the legs, while not highlighting it so strongly as to attract all the attention of the surroundings. Such patterned tights look great with flared dresses, and seamed tights at the back will primarily suit classic, knee-length pencil skirts – then they will complement even office stylings.

Fishnet tights – do they suit everyone?

Another pattern that many women are afraid to wear due to the possibility of optically thickening their legs is fishnet tights. How to choose tights with this pattern to look good – even if you wear a larger size? You just need to pay attention to the size of the mesh – fishnet tights made of fine mesh will in no way make your legs look bigger, and additionally, such a design minimizes the risk of the styling being considered inappropriate for the situation. Fishnet tights with small meshes are often complemented by other small patterns – diamonds or polka dots. This adds fantasy to the styling and guarantees to enliven the outfit with a fashionable accessory.

Fishnet tights with small meshes can be worn by women of all body types
