If you’ve never owned a non-black item of active wear in your life, it’s time for a wake-up call. Printed tights are now having their very own sweat-filled moment. And to be completely honest, we couldn’t be happier.
From bloom-filled florals to nautical-inspired stripes, this season’s must-have pieces convey sophistication without being too in-your-face.
But learning to straddle the line between totally chic and playful is often easier said than done. That’s why we’ve compiled our top tips for styling your favourite printed tights, so you can turn heads for all the right reasons.
How to style printed tights
1. Stick to one colour palette
Let your tights take the spotlight and team with pieces that are in the same colour palette for a cohesive and stylish look. If you’ve got too much going on, it can be a little overwhelming.
Dharma Bums’ Daisy Blue tights and classic black tee hit the colour palette sweet spot. Yes, they’re functional and versatile, but they also have chic design elements that will flatter your bod.

3. Don’t forget to accessorise
