Fall Must-Have: Stirrup Tights

After months of bare legs, I'm actually looking forward to covering up again with tights.

I live in them all fall and winter, mostly black opaques with some variation in pattern and material to keep me from getting bored.

This year I'm planning to work a stirrup style into my rotation. They're perfect for peep toe shoes so you can flash the tiniest hint of skin without sacrificing warmth. And they'd also be great layered with cashmere socks to wear under boots when it's really cold out, giving toes a bit more breathing room than regular closed-toe stockings.

This subtly textured pair from Banana Republic is a good way to road test the trend, coming in at $19.
