Looking out the window at BrandAlley HQ it’s sadly clear to see that winter is here. But with the chillier weather comes a few good things. We’ve mentioned before winter coats, boots and of course Christmas, but there’s something else we all whip out in winter, tights. From the classic opaque to the racier sheer or fishnet, tights get more interesting come winter and this year in no exception. Patterned tights are big news for 2012, so it’s time to fall in love with your legs and dare to bare in some of our favourite designs from Mary Portas, Charnos, Elle, SkinKiss and Jonathon Aston. You can even get more for your money onsite today with special promotions, so if you are looking for yourself or for Christmas gifts, be sure to check out the discounts starting from ‘any 3 for £14.50’.

This year the hottest colours for AW are bottle green and oxblood red (basically a burgundy/dark red). We love colour popping tights, but if you want something even more exciting, why not go for these Mary Portas vertical fine line 40 denier tights? The green is bang on trend and the vertical stripes will lengthen and make your legs appear slimmer.

But it’s not just colour that’s got us excited here at BrandAlley HQ. Let your legs take centre stage with intricate patterns and bold designs like these. We love the elegant lace effect on these Charnos tights and the tiny dots on these matt 20 denier tights. They have a back seam of Swarovski diamanté diamonds so you’ll be sure to catch the light and have all eyes on you. They’re perfect for Christmas parties!

We couldn’t comment on all our favourites as it would be a long blog! But, if you like what you see, you’ll love the sale. With big discounts and lots more designs and styles, don’t miss out on this leggy sale. We’ve got hold-ups, to socks; tights to arm sleeves (just look at the sale to see what we mean!) – you won’t want to miss out!
