Funky stockings

Funky stockings stop at the thigh rather than the waist, so they show off a print with a mini skirt or shorts. If you love the stocking look but hate slipping, the mock-suspender tights above give the same effect with full coverage.

Funky tights for Halloween, cosplay and costumes

Instead of buying a costume you'll wear once, add statement tights to clothes you already own. Skull suspender, bat wing and red corset tights turn a black dress into a Halloween outfit, and anime or yami kawaii prints finish a cosplay or convention look.

How to style funky tights

Outfit piece Good choices
Dresses and skirts Black mini dress, denim skirt, leather or tartan mini skirt
Tops Oversized knit sweater, plain white shirt, band T-shirt
Shoes Chelsea boots, platform boots, Mary Janes, chunky loafers

Keep the rest of the outfit in solid colours and let the tights carry the pattern. If you want more ideas, our guide to women's tights covers denier and styling rules.
