London Fashion Week has unveiled an effortless styling hack to elevate any outfit: statement fashion tights, fondly named “fun tights” by our Coveteur editorial team. These eye-catching hosiery pieces come in countless iterations — vivid solid hues, delicate lace detailing and whimsical distinctive prints. Every corner of London Fashion Week’s Fall/Winter 2026 edition, both runway presentations and street style shots, was covered in them, marking this as a lasting style staple set to dominate the upcoming autumn and winter seasons.
Patterned and pigmented fashion tights first rose to mainstream fame amid the swinging mod era of the 1960s. Paired with flowy mini skirts, they rose to iconic status thanks to trailblazers like Twiggy. What initially served as a bold pop of colour quickly evolved into a powerful style statement: a youthful graphic rebellion against dull neutral wardrobes, and an early sign that personal dressing was all about self-expression rather than conforming to mainstream norms. This perfectly illustrates fashion’s recurring trend cycle. As the quiet luxury bubble fades, maximalist silhouettes and bold colour clashing are making a striking comeback on runways worldwide.
Bora Aksu Fall/Winter 2026 Runway: Lace Tights Craft Romantic Contrast
Over at Sinead Gorey's Fall/Winter 2026 show, fun tights both complemented and contrasted. A shirt dress with drummer-boy military detailing was paired with a Penny Lane coat and argyle tights, and a belted leather mini skirt was paired with a baseball tee, Ushanka hat, argan tights, and yellow heeled sandals.
Later on the runway, military jackets were paired with tights that featured drummer-boy military braiding all the way up and pale blue coats were paired with perfectly coordinated pale blue tights. Gorey's runway perfectly demonstrated how a pair of tights can completely change up a look.
Show-goers and fashion lovers wholeheartedly embraced this trend, too. We spotted all forms of fashion tights on the streets of London, with animal print tights being a standout pattern. In one look, zebra-printed tights perfectly coordinated a blazer while simultaneously contrasting with a leopard-print bag; in another, tiger-printed tights served as the statement-maker of an otherwise black ensemble.
