It feels less challenging to try coloured tights when you’re in ankle boots and a long coat than it will do when your legs are more exposed, and it’s a fun, inexpensive way to break up the dreary top-to-toe black. If you want to be really fancy, you can keep them tucked over the belt of your coat rather than stuffing them in your bag, so that they add a bit of visual interest, in the same way as a pocket square or a brooch.
