Alright, fashion lovers, let’s talk about the trend that’s quietly taking over your Instagram feed—and your closet. Burgundy tights. Yep, you heard that right. This isn’t your grandma’s hosiery (though, let’s be real, she might’ve been onto something). In 2025, these deep, sultry beauties are stepping out of the shadows and into the spotlight as theaccessory to watch.
At first glance, you might think, “Tights? Really?” But hear me out. Burgundy tights are doing what no other accessory can—they’re bold but not loud, classic but totally fresh. They’ve got that perfect mix of warmth and edge, making them the ultimate wildcard in your wardrobe arsenal.
Why Burgundy, and Why Now?
First, let’s talk color psychology. Burgundy is luxurious without being pretentious, and it’s flattering on literally everyone. It has that rich, velvety vibe that screams (or rather, whispers) confidence. While neutrals dominated the last few years, 2025 is craving a bit of drama—and burgundy delivers just that without being overpowering.
On the runway, we’ve seen everyone from Prada to Miu Miu experimenting with jewel tones in unexpected ways, and burgundy tights are the next natural progression. They’re versatile enough to pair with almost anything, yet they pack enough punch to completely transform a look.
How to Wear Them Without Looking Like You Tried Too Hard
The beauty of burgundy tights is their ability to be both a statement and a supporting act. Feeling adventurous? Go full monochrome with a matching dress and oversized coat—tonal magic that’s giving runway energy. Honestly, there’s something so striking about an all-burgundy look. It’s rich, dramatic, and impossibly chic, like you just stepped out of a Parisian editorial. If monochrome feels like too much, pairing burgundy tights with a soft, dove-gray ensemble is equally stunning. The contrast between the warm, velvety tones of the tights and the cool elegance of light gray creates this beautifully balanced, sophisticated vibe that I can’t get enough of.
For a casual day out, throw them on with an oversized sweater and platform boots. Want to lean into the retro vibe? Channel your inner ‘60s muse with a shift dress and Mary Janes. They’re just as at home with sneakers and denim shorts as they are with a structured blazer and pleated skirt.
And don’t even get me started on how good they look with metallics. A shimmery silver mini dress? Game over.
The Secret Sauce: Texture
If you really want to nail this trend, it’s all about texture, babe. Matte tights? They’re giving sleek and understated—perfect for that “I just threw this on, but actually, I thought about it” vibe. Ribbed or patterned? Instant outfit upgrade with just the right amount of detail to keep things interesting. And here’s a little insider tip: go for pairs with a subtle sheen. Trust me, when the light hits just right, it’s like your legs are the main character.
Now, if you’re dressing up for something special, lace burgundy tights are where it’s at. They’ve got this vintage-meets-romantic energy that’s equal parts dreamy and bold. Throw them on with a velvet mini or a slinky satin slip, and boom—instant drama in the best way. These tights aren’t just an accessory; they’re a whole mood. Perfect for when you want your outfit to say, “Yeah, I know I look good.”
Who’s Already Rocking Them?
Some of the most stylish celebs and influencers are already hopping on the burgundy train. Seriously, all the fashion die-hards are in on this one. Just look at Hanna Schönberg and Leonie Hanne — hey’re showing us exactly how it’s done. Whether it’s paired with tailored coats or layered under playful dresses, these tights are giving everything they need to give for 2025.
And don’t even get me started on the street style scene. From Paris to Tokyo, burgundy tights are popping up left and right. Oversized blazers? Check. Tailored shorts? Yep. Flirty dresses? Of course. They’re proving to be one of the easiest ways to level up your outfit without trying too hard. Safe to say, this trend has major staying power.
