Gal Stern Hand-Printed Tights

A Quick Fix for Your Winter Wardrobe

Bare legs, in this weather, not so much fun. Ubiquitous opaque black, on the other hand, kind of boring.

Turn to Israeli textile designer Gal Stern’s artfully decorated (and warm) tights. Her collection of metallic embellished, hand-dyed and -printed tights will become more than mere leg covering; it’ll add new life to your winter blacks, browns and greys (yes, we’re talking to you).

Give a predictable LBD some personality with our favourite gold foil fish scale tights or team a teal feather-printed and gold leaf pair with a casual sweaterdress for an easy update. Add ankle boots and a jolt of colour with red opaques patterned with black and grey zigzags. Look to the Fractal collection for abstract printed loops, stripes and knots like those shown here, or dress down in edgy footless tights worn with ballet flats or boots. Whichever way you go, your legs will be a talking point this winter.

Available at Wolf & Badger, 46 Ledbury Road, W11 2AB (020 7229 5698 or wolfandbadger.com), £39-£45. To see styles, go to gal-stern.com.
