Lisa Snowdon's embellished tights are the perfect update to festive-ready black dresses
The star upped the glam-factor to her outfit with some fancy hosiery
This time of year is busy, and planning outfits for each occasion in the run-up to Christmas can be a tricky and often expensive task. Rather than splashing out on multiple new festive looks, why not take inspiration from Lisa Snowdon and breathe new life into your favourite LBD with a pair of fancy tights?
The model and presenter shared some snaps on Instagram last week, which showed off a gorgeous evening-ready ensemble that is worth bookmarking for the coming weeks. Lisa wowed in a black velvet dress from the latest Queens of Archive collaboration with Monsoon, and put her own stylish stamp on the collared mini, with a pair of metallic spotted tights by Heist.
The semi-sheer, patterned hosiery upped the glam factor of Lisa's outfit, and it’s a very easy styling trick when you need to switch up the vibe of your frock or simply want to add some glitz to an understated outfit.
This sumptuous velvet design comes with an embroidered collar that gives it a vintage aesthetic that will work for all kinds of festive plans. Simply add chunky heels or a pair of knee-high boots.
The silvery spots on these tights feel fun yet elegant and will work wonders to update your look for festive events. The extra-stretchy waistband will keep you comfy too.
Lisa kept it simple with her shiny slingbacks and let her outfit have its moment. This similar pair will work year-round and finish off any party outfit in style.
These metallic spotted tights will recreate Lisa's look for less, and there's a soft chocolate brown version available too.
You don't need sparkles to add some oomph to your party dress - this classic polka dot pair will channel some joy into your attire in a more subtle way.
This high fashion pair are covered in teeny diamantes that will catch the light and really shine - they will look extra special with a silvery hued skirt and high heels.
Your hosiery can make all the difference to your outfit, and a sparkly pair are ideal for right now and through to NYE.
You don't need to save your metallic spots for after hours either, as your tights will work equally well with a denim dress and a chunky cardigan, or to add even more fun to a leather mini skirt and your new Christmas jumper for daytime celebrations.
If shiny dots aren't for you, you could always try a lace design, or even a colour pop pair of tights. A rich berry hue, deep navy or a warm caramel tone can all update your cold-weather ensembles while ticking off key autumn/winter colour trends for 2026 with minimal effort.
