Although tights were out of favour in fashion for some time (with most of us aiming to get through winter without putting a pair on), the last few seasons has seen the likes of Saint Laurent, Céline, Chanel, Tom Ford and Gucci (whose were crystal-embellished no less) jump back onto team tights. Still not convinced? Here, we round up 10 fun (and grown-up) ways to wear them for the season ahead.
