The long, chilly months between Christmas and Spring can start to make you feel like you live in thick trousers and woolly jumpers. We've put together a selection of our snuggest and most fashionable tights, with the hopes that you'll feel snug enough to start wearing skirts and dresses again! 
Plush Lined Tights from Charnos will protect your legs from the elements with their brushed fleece lining, acting as snuggly armour against Jack Frost. A matte black finish teams perfectly with a range of Wintry warm textures and fabrics, such as denim, wool and corduroy. If thermal's more your thing, Gipsy's 200 Denier Tights are woven with warmth in mind, designed to trap heat between the fabric and your body. Again, a matte black leg allows for optimum fashion pairings. For a wider choice of colours take a look at Falkes range of Pure Matt 100 Tights, designed for comfort and warmth as well as style. As well as being sumptuously soft and thick, there is a whole spectrum of hues to choose from, including blue-teal Paraffin, khaki-green Military and rich wine tinted Burgundy.
L-R Falke Pure Matt 100 Tights in; Black, Marine, Brenda and Elder.
Pattern can be used well in winter to stay on trend and stylish during the dull, grey start to the year. One of our bestselling patterned opaques is this bold Multi Coloured Spot Tight from Gipsy. Available in two colours (Blue or Grape), they're a fantastic way to liven up a drab winter outfit, while staying snug as a bug. Another option is these Speckled Rib Tights, also by Gipsy. The rib pattern is woven into the tight, almost making it more textured, while the tiny specks of turquoise, aqua and blood orange are a unique way of incorporating colour into your style. Choose between Charcoal or Navy.

For those adverse to tights, don't 
despair - you can still stay warm while sticking to stockings or hold ups. Levante's range of opaque stockings are ever popular, more so at this time of year. Their 100 Denier Wool Stockings come in a range of colours, including Black, Mocca and Sherry, making them perfectly matched for any outfit. With 70% wool content, you can rest assured that you'll be cosy and warm. Just attach them to your favourite suspender belt and you're ready to go. Jennifer Hold Ups by Trasparenze are a best seller of ours, and its easy to see why. Perfect for those who don't favour tights, and with a 70% wool content, they also come in a choice of two season-friendly shades, meaning you never have to settle for the warmth of tights over the comfort of hold ups again.
