This fall, a great pair of hosiery goes a long way. They pack a practical punch as they keep you warm in the case of a temperature drop or a gust of wind, but they’re also ultra-elegant and add a bit of polish to any outfit. Going to a wedding? Try pairing that cocktail dress with a slightly shimmery pair; they’ll instantly amplify the glam. Or, if you’re looking for something that makes more of a statement, reach for Gucci s monogrammed pair that embodies truly quiet luxury. These tights are sure to add a little something extra to your look. But every wardrobe should invest in Spanx’s Plush pair, which channels the brand’s iconic shaping technology in a sleek style.
