How to style lace tights: #1 Tuck them into tall boots
While there’s still a slight chill in the air, tucking lace tights straight into tall or over-the-knee boots is one of the easiest ways to wear them stylishly. The boots cover the legs, adding a little warmth while letting glimpses of the lace pattern peek through for extra detail. Pair them with a miniskirt, sweater dress, or leather skirt to make your proportions look cleaner and more elongated, with a modern urban feel.
