Are Tights Still in Style? 2025 Fashion Trends You Should Know

Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Tights are not only still in style—they’re more relevant than ever. In 2025, tights are no longer a seasonal afterthought or a layering necessity. They're becoming a central piece of personal style, with designers, editors, and influencers using them to add sensuality, contrast, and depth to every kind of outfit.

At Betty, we’ve always known that tights are more than just a layer. They're a statement. And this year, the fashion world finally caught up.

Here’s why tights are everywhere in 2025—and how to wear them now.

 

💭 Quick Answer: Are Tights Still in Style in 2025?

Yes—tights are trending in 2025 across both streetwear and high fashion. Sheer, patterned, embroidered, and statement tights are being used to elevate minimalist outfits, rework vintage silhouettes, and add personality to every look. They’re not just in style—they’re a must-have.

5 Tights Trends Dominating 2025

1. The Return of Sheer Elegance

In a year where minimalism is making a bold comeback, sheer black tights are the go-to for adding polish without overpowering the look. Think: sheer legs under oversized blazers, slip dresses, or sharp tailoring.

Betty pick: Be Mine – delicate, semi-sheer, with a soft waistband and a hidden red signature meant for you and your lover.

2. Bold Text & Embroidery Details

Fashion is getting personal—and tights are part of the conversation. Designers are using words, hidden messages, and minimalist embroidery to add intrigue.

Betty pick:

  • Be Mine – with “My Love” on the front and “Be Mine” on the back.

  • Thunderstorm – thunderbolts and “For You” stitched right where you want them.

These aren't just tights. They're whispers.

3. Lingerie as Outerwear—Leg Edition

2025 continues the trend of visible lingerie, and tights are playing a central role. Wide waistbands, floral lace, and delicate fishnets are being styled to be seen—not hidden.

Betty pick:

Pair them with mini skirts, open blazers, or barely-there dresses.

4. Pattern Play & Nature-Inspired Design

Geometric, botanical, and asymmetrical patterns are showing up in unexpected ways—on legs. This trend takes inspiration from nature and art, and adds texture to even the most minimal outfit.

Betty pick:

These designs don’t follow trends—they create them.

5. Tights as the New Jewelry

Accessories are getting more subtle—and tights are taking their place. Whether it’s a tiny flower, a line of stars, or a red thread only you know about, tights are now part of the detail game.

💡 How to Style Tights in 2025

  • Go monochrome: Head-to-toe black with sheer tights = power.

  • Mix soft with sharp: Lace tights + tailored coat = perfect tension.

  • Let them show: High-waisted tights with visible waistbands are in. Crop tops, short skirts, and undone blazers are their best friends.

  • Add minimal accessories: Let the tights do the talking. You don’t need much else.
