12 Pairs of Burgundy Tights To Liven Up Your Autumn And Winter Wardrobe
All it takes is one good pair.
Nora Ephron came to me in a dream last night and told me to step up my autumn/winter 2024 outfits. I'll admit, I’ve been seriously slacking. So, I spent this morning scrolling, swiping, and voraciously devouring trend stories, OOTDs, mood boards and the like, in search of inspiration. And among all the well-dressed madness, there’s one accessory that I can’t escape – nor do I want to. It’s burgundy tights.
If last year was all about dressing with a 'pop of red' and rocking tomato-hued hosiery, then AW24 has taken the trend a few shades darker. Burgundy is undoubtedly the colour of the season: it featured heavily on the catwalks (Gucci, we're looking at you), has dominated the just-dropped collections of all our favourite high-street brands, and it's now making its way into our underwear drawers, too.

Suddenly, I’ve found myself completely obsessed. I want to wear burgundy tights to work, I want to pair them with my favourite pair of knee-high heeled boots, I want to rock them with every mini-dress I own... This versatile and affordable accessory has the power to transform even the simplest outfit into a look that's right on trend, and effortlessly so.
It really is a win-win. When did my collection of stockings get so paltry? I’m working double-time to make up for it now. Keep scrolling to see all the pairs of burgundy tights that I currently have in my cart:
Calzedonia is my most trusted go-to for affordable yet high-quality tights – and I’m not the only one. Celebrity stylists often rely on the brand, and Gigi Hadid even wore a pair to the 2023 Met Gala.

Dare I admit these might be my favourites? The pattern and contrast are so darling, plus, it’s a subdued nod to the bow trend.
