If you want to look like your favorite Gossip Girl, you’ll definitely need some colored tights in your life! This season it’s all about throwing on some color to jazz up any outfit. And now that the holidays are rolling around, why not try a fun red pair (like my girl Blair Waldorf, below)?

I love love love the Solid Opaque Tights by J Crew! Look how this bright blue pair adds an amazing pop of color to an ordinary black skirt/white tee combo. It’s very unexpected, yet it works so well. Or try a muted burgundy with shorts like the model below. What a great way to get an extended wear of your shorts into the cooler weather. They’re available at J. Crew locations for $16.50 each or find them at jcrew.com.

Victoria’s Secret also offers a range of colors in their ribbed tights. It gives an added level of texture and color! Bonus: you can grab them 2 for $29 at victoriassecret.com.

Now, if you really want to run with this trend, you can always count on American Apparel to take it to the next level. With super bright colors including Green Apple and Poppy orange (shown below), you will definitely be seen. There are over 20-(yes 20!) different colors to select from. They also have some that sparkle and shimmer (what did you expect, it’s American Apparel). Love it! Only $14.
