The chill is in the air and the temps are dropping further but you can't sacrifice fashion for warmth. Short skirts are inevitable, and let's be honest, sometimes we just need to show a bit of leg--but it's so chilly. Well do we have the map for you: Seven shops where you can buy tights to keep your legs warm without sacrificing the look. We've rounded up a handful of great shops ranging from Wolford to Marshalls so you can find the perfect pair at whatever price bracket or style benchmark you're trying to achieve. Feel like we missed one of your favorites? Or maybe have a hidden gem you'd like to share? Don't be bashful, let us know in the comments section below.
Of course! Nordstrom is on our list because of the emmense selection ranging from the high to the low with the most reasonable option being the Control Top Tights in six color ways in three sizes for $11 each or 3 for $30.
Quoted by many as the only place to buy hosiery, styles are sexy and on-trend but also extend to the more traditional. The Austrian company has two stores on the Near North Side, this one on Oak and the second newer one in The Shops At North Bridge on Michigan Ave.
Opaque styles come in three different densities; 50, 80 and 120 with slightly increased pricing following suit at $12, $16 and $25. Topshop also has a huge rack of cotton leggings costing $25-$35 depending on Fabric
Hue, Anne Klein, 9West are a few of the brands you'll be able to find at this newest location in the city for Burlington Coat Factory. Prices are extremely reasonable as you'll be able to walk out with a whole season's worth of trend-led styles for under $40.
Little Miss Matched specializes in smaller sizes and more fun patterns... for children, and sport several styles of tights, some leggings and a ton of socks. However, the store has adult tights as well with blue and pink stripes. Right now, tights are 50% off which cut the price from $18.66 to $9.33.
Though the stock isn't as consistent here at this store, the prices are cheap. CHEAP. One sales associate tells us there are often brands like Ralph Lauren represented for as little as $3 and can go as high as $18.
