Street Style: Summer Tights As Seen On Hannah

Submitted by on Thursday, 1 July 2010 | One Comment

If, like me, you weren’t born with the most tanned legs out there, and aren’t quite ready to bare all this Summer, why not opt for some tights? These fashion staples aren’t just for winter. No no! Tights have now become a huge fashion accessory for the warmer weather. Just switch up the colours and patterns, and you have the perfect addition to your outfit. Team them with a Summer dress like Hannah here, or wear under frayed denim shorts for an edgy look.

The main rule is to steer clear of your black winter opaques and you can’t go wrong.























Hannah wears a dress by New Look, a leather jacket from Miss Selfridge, Tights by New Look, Boots from Topshop, and she carries a bag from a Charity Shop.

To recreate Hannah’s look, go for a floral summer dress in a delicate fabric, and team with some black tights in a clashing print. Make sure you go for fairly thin tights to keep the look light and summery. Toughen up the outfit with a leather biker jacket and some worker style boots.

For more of a casual way to wear this Summer’s tights, opt for some frayed denim shorts worn over pale patterned tights. Team with brogues and an oversize tee for the ultimate in relaxed chic. If you’re leaving the house, throw on a slouchy jersey cardigan and a boho style bag and you’re ready for the fashion world!

As you can see, both looks are fairly simple and easy to wear. Just opt for muted shades when choosing your tights and remember to keep the rest of the outfit summery and fresh!
