I am making the bet that all the elaborate hosiery trends are really going to take off next Spring.Not before, and especially not during the last mile before Christmas.
Knee-high socks might be spared because they are easy to accommodate with any pair of thick leggings, or even jeans.
They are a great way of adding a smudge of colour to a dark winter outfit - and colour lifts the mood.
Fancy print and lace tights however, are in danger of becoming winter-extinct.
Mostly, because they are too thin to protect against the cold.
And unless you work in an Caribbean-beach-like warm office and you have a taxi to shelter you from the frost and wind while traveling from point A to point B, they are often not worth a month with the sniffles.
The way out is to wear them over a pair (or two) of skin coloured tight. Because let's admit it, they look fantastic.
Statement tights however might be the solution
A lot of brands have opaque statement tights: they are thicker which rhymes with warmer.
Opaque also means it is easy to wear another pair underneath, without them having to be paper-thin and skin coloured.
And of course there are all the patent, PVC, shiny or leather imitation leggings.
Even ice-age temperatures cannot stop a girl to show off some leg from underneath woolen trenches.
