But pulling on the same old black opaques day after day can get a little tiresome, and since the season has barely even begun, it’s way too early to be sick of them just yet. Before you commit to jeans until spring break, take note that there are plenty of seriously fresh ways to wear hosiery that’ll keep your legs warm and your wardrobe cool. Check out Dianna Agron’s ultraviolet nylons or Bella Thorne’s sweet sweater tights, and give your look a leg up for the cold months ahead.
