Office to Happy Hour: Tights Looks That Work for Both

The workday doesn't end when the laptop closes—and your outfit shouldn’t either. Whether you’re heading to cocktails with colleagues, a spontaneous date, or just want to feel your best from 9 to 9, the secret is in the styling.

And at Betty, we believe the right pair of tights is the layer that ties it all together. Here’s how to create looks that move seamlessly from office to happy hour—without changing your entire outfit.

Quick Answer: What Tights Can You Wear from Office to After-Work Drinks?

Choose tights that balance polish with personality. Look for styles that feel sleek during the day (like sheer or patterned black tights) and reveal a little more when the blazer comes off. Think subtle lace, fine embroidery, or a waistband designed to be seen.

 

5 Looks That Transition Perfectly from Office to Happy Hour

1. The Power Mini

Professional. Playful. Effortless.

Try:
Structured mini skirt + crisp button-down + The Essential tights + loafers or ankle boots.

Why it works:
Clean lines during the day, and just enough leg after hours. The Essential is sleek, ultra-soft, and won’t roll—no matter how many espresso martinis you order.

2. The "Did You See That?"

Front: all business. Back: a little cheeky.

Try:
High-waisted trousers + tucked-in blouse + You Wish tights get your legs wrapped in stars.

Why it works:
If the pants come off later (say, after work drinks turn into something more), “You” and “Wish” will do all the talking.

3. The Sharp Blazer Rework

You kept the blazer on for the meeting. Now you wear it as a dress.

Try:
Oversized blazer + mini slip or shorts + Je T'aime fishnet tights (with delicate vintage inspired lace).

Why it works:
Soft, floral patterns peek through just enough to keep things polished—but flirty.

4. The Desk Date

You didn’t plan the date—but your tights did.

Try:
Midi pencil skirt + fitted top + Be Mine tights.

Why it works:
Sheer and smooth, these tights are made for movement. Bonus: the hidden red signature is just for you (or whoever gets close enough to see it).

5. The Fishnet Layer

Because you don’t have to look like you’re wearing fishnets—until you want to.

Try:
Oversized Trench + Little Black Dress + The Forever Fishnet tights layered underneath.

Why it works:
The netting peeks out at the ankle or waistline—subtle during the day, statement by night.

💡 Styling Tips for Office-to-Bar Outfits

• Let the tights do the talking: Keep your outfit neutral or monochrome so textures and patterns shine.

• Comfort first: Look for tights with wide waistbands and breathable fabrics (Betty’s are made for long wear).

• Add one accessory after work: Statement earrings, bold lip, or switching flats for heels = instant transformation.

Final Thought

You don’t need two outfits to feel like two versions of yourself. You just need one good one—and a pair of tights that can keep up.

From the boardroom to the back booth, Betty tights are the layer you build your best outfits on. Made to move with you. Made to be noticed.

Go ahead—clock out and turn it on.
