Anglophile? Check out these Union Jack leggings.
It's been a good long time since we've checked out the realm of funky tights. We've rounded up some of the craziest, sexiest, and kind of out-of-this-world tights we could find this time around, including these flower tights that would rock under any dress, in my opinion. Plus, they can double as your Halloween costume tights for Poison Ivy. With cooler weather coming for a lot of us, some leg coverage might be just the ticket for chilly weddings.
Any Halloween brides looking to add some horror movie flair to their outfit? I think we've found your Dexter-esque thigh-highs.
These are technically leggings from Black Milk Clothing, but I couldn't resist the realistic scene.
One more from Black Milk: SHINY and RED! Totally hot.
If you're looking for just a little touch of whimsy, these tiny bow tie tights from Betsey Johnson are totally adorbz.
Snakes and tigers all up your legs? Hell yes.
Sock Dreams is awesome for a number of reasons, but my favorite is that so many of them come in plus sizes. We Love Colors is also great for this. But I digress. Check out these lurex zebra print tights from Sock Dreams.
These ribbon wrap tights are reading as corset-like and a little like a dominatrix. Sweet combination!
I'm cheating again because these aren't actually tights. But if you're looking to add more color, you can't beat a rainbow. It worked for Liz underneath her blue gown! We love rainbows all around.
What's your plan for leg coverage? Going bare? Something funky? Foregoing it all and wearing pants? Let us know in the comments.

My fiancee says: “OOOOOH PRETTY” about the first ones, other favourites included the coloured ones in the group shot, and the corseted ones. Very good. She will probably be wearing white fishnets [80% chance] turquoise tights, which she already wears regularly [10%] or white [10%] at our wedding. Here’s hoping for fishnets. < 3
How about white fishnets over turquoise for a clash in textures?
Hell Yes!!! I may have to steal your idea. I love it!
Oh if you like things like this you’ve GOT to go look at Foot Traffic. One of my favorite sites for years and years.

these are all really cool, but where are the plus sized options?
http://www.welovecolors.com/Shop/PlusSizedHosiery.htm
the solid colour ones come in basically all colours
http://www.sockdreams.com/products/sock-collections/plus-sized/
there you will find all of sock dreams items that will work for plus sizes
Also if you have specific fit questions about a Sock Dreams product, you can email them and they will personally answer. They have a number of fabulous ladies of all sizes there, so they have plenty of information to give you. I used to work there. 🙂 Recommend giving them measurements if you want specific recommendations (circumference of widest part of thigh, hip, and calf are a good start).
I second Sock dreams. Have gotten several items from them with AWESOME service.
I wore black milk leggings under my wedding dress. My fiance said I ‘wasn’t allowed’ to wear my usual ‘granny pants’ shapewear that I mostly wear because they cover my thighs and therefore prevent chafing. So instead I wore their purple galaxy leggings and was quite comfy and also warm for my winter wedding 🙂
I am thinking I will wear their TARDIS leggings for mine, or even use the dress version for a reception outfit! LOVE Black Milk….
These are all soooo cute! I wish I could wear tights, but i’m way too tall and skinny! The crotch part never makes it up high enough, and my lack of hips means they just slide right off…. 🙁
K, thigh highs. Seriously. They’ll change your life, plus oh so sexy. Also, you can get the ones that stay up on their own or go old school and play with fun garter belts!
Have you tried Hue?

I’m 5’10” and they are some of the only tights that fit all the way up!
This is great timing! I’ve been wanting to find true opaque tights and didn’t know where to look. I’m so excited for fall!
black milk leggings are the best quality i currently own about 40 pieces from them and they are fab! (the swims are great too but im in aust so its hot) im sure you ladies will be interested in the star wars collection coming out in a few days too
this is sounded like a very sponsered post but im just an enthusiastic lycra lover
edit for stitches- im a aust 14/16 and a Large black milk fits me fine, i have heard about aust sz 18 ladies wearing them comfortably too 🙂
I’m getting married the weekend before Halloween and will be wearing these http://www.etsy.com/listing/62575810/brand-new-color-grey-sexy-bats-tattoo
They’ve got loads of great options, including some good wintery snowflake ones!
For the record, to me, thje black flames tights do NOT look like flames to me… thy look like VENOM. for your SPIDERMAN WEDDING!
