It’s just about time to pull out a slew of festive frocks for your holiday party lineup, but it’s COLD outside, and every girl knows that looking stylish and staying warm don’t always mix — or at least it seems that way. While there are some that are daring enough to do the whole bare-legged thing, the rest of us just can’t hack it. That’s totally okay though, because tights. From sparkly stunners to lacy numbers, these nine tights and party dress pairings won’t just keep you warm this holiday season — they’ll blow your fancy cold-weather repertoire out of the water.
1. H&M Beaded Dress ($249) + Jonathan Aston Twinkle Tights ($29): This laid-back frock is like your favorite sweater dress only 100x more festive with eye-catching embellishments in gorgeous gold.

Pair a Sequined Maxi With Spotted Tights
2. ASOS Long Sleeve Sequin Stripe Maxi Dress ($198) + Commando Leopard Fishnet Tights ($38): While a long dress provides a protective barrier to keep those gorgeous gams toasty, an extra layer never hurts. Opt for a funky pair like these leopard print fishnets that’ll add even more flair to your look with every step and swish.
