Brown Tights Are the New Classic Black Stockings for Fall and Winter 2025
Unlike the radical change proposed by the red tights of fall-winter 2024, the simple switch from black to espresso brown—the trendiest color right now—adds a slight twist to any cold-weather look. Subtle, yes, but full of intention, elegance, and a lot of style. And this can be understood in three simple reasons.
Why are brown tights the new closet staples?
- They add warmth to the skin. Brown tights provide a natural glow that complements the skin rather than dulling it, regardless of skin tone.
- They enhance your style palette. Simply put, they go with everything; but the truth is, their best allies are navy, gray, camel, or pale pink. *Of course, opacity also play a part here; sheer brown tights soften whites and neutrals, while opaque brown tights add depth and sophistication.
- They look intense, not heavy. Unlike black tights, brown tones feel luxurious and light, creating dimension without making your outfit look too understated.
TikTok girls have demonstrated this in videos where they create the same look with black and brown tights. But it’s not just social media; a quick look at Google Trends shows that the internet in general has also seen a surge in interest in this essential winter accessory.
Now, we’re not going to say we’ll completely forget about black tights; no, we’ll leave those in the closet, but for now they’re tucked away behind our new favorite brown pair.
