10 Fashionable Plus Size Tights That Let You Wear Dresses All Winter

From now until about March, there's no way we'll be caught outside the house bare-legged. With subzero temperatures and a wardrobe full of short hemlines, tights are necessary to help us survive Mother Nature without compromising our style - but finding ones that fit can be a challenge.

I'm 5'9" with a size 16/18 frame, and have always found it VERY hard to find fashionable hosiery to fit my body. And anytime I tried to expand my tights assortment past a standard black tummy control, I would fall short. At one point I even remember being so excited to discover a pair of white tights in my size just because that meant I could hand-dye them and finally get a pair of bright colored tights that fit!

Luckily in recent years, I haven't had to rely on my DIY skills as much because a lot of new plus size brands have helped diversify the hosiery offerings. There's even a brand called We Love Colors that offers 51 different colored tights up to a size 4x.

So it's time to ditch the basic black tights for something with a little more bang! Whether it's printed or textured tights to make layering fun, we have something for you. Click through to shop 10 plus size tights to spruce up your wardrobe this winter.
