Brown Tights Are the New Classic Black Stockings for Fall and Winter 2025

In contrast to the radical changes suggested by the red tights of autumn-winter 2024, a simple transition from black to espresso brown…the most fashionable color now– adds lightness to any look in cold weather. Yes, elegant, but full of intention, elegance and style. And this can be understood for three simple reasons.

Why have brown tights become the new wardrobe staple?

  1. They give warmth to the skin. Brown tights impart a natural glow that complements the skin rather than dulling it, regardless of skin tone.
  2. They expand your style palette. Simply put, they go with everything; but the truth is that their best allies are dark blue, grey, light brown or pale pink. *Of course, opacity also plays a role here; Sheer brown tights soften whites and neutrals, while opaque brown tights add depth and sophistication.
  3. They look rich, not heavy. Unlike black tights, brown tones feel luxurious and light, creating volume without making your outfit too understated.
