Fashion: Love your legs

Brighten up your outfits this winter with interesting tights. Whether they are bright or patterned, shiny or woolly, tights look fantastic with boots or chunky heels.

If you're wearing them with boots that have a rough seam, opt for a higher-denier pair, or sneak a pair of socks in on top of your stockings to protect them.

Glassons and Farmers are great places to start looking for interesting hosiery this winter, but if you're a pantyhose convert, check out online retailers for something really different.

Britain's Top Shop has a good range and New Zealand company Funky Tights imports Italian hosiery.
