# Bold Patterned Tights Look Bodacious in Audacious Legwear By Bianca | Published 2008-11-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patterned-tights References: [style](http://www.style.com/stylefile/2008/11/leggings-get-the-designer-treatment-for-spring/) Do you look splendid in spandex? I'm referring to tights and leggings, by the way, and if you've thought about investing in a few new pairs for the colder months, I suggest picking up *at least* one pair of [bold, patterned ones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ski-collection-1). Sure they're slightly more daring than your safe black control-top tights, but 'tis the season to get dolled up, and if not now, then when? I hate to put it to you, but you'll never be younger than you are this second, so if you've ever wanted to snuggle your legs into a pair of brightly patterned nylons, this is the season begging you to do so! The slideshow includes [tights in various colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloweenthemed-sock-collections), exotic prints, ruched textures and even tights with doily-esque holes in them, from designers like Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, Jasmine Di Milo, Threeasfou, Viktor & Rolf and Iceberg. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Bold Patterned Tights:** Opportunity to explore unique fabric patterns and textures for personalized tights. - **Exotic Print Leggings:** Innovative design space for unique and exotic legging prints beyond typical animal prints. - **Ruched Leggings:** Opportunity to innovate in the comfort-wear space with modern ruched leggings design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** Innovative design opportunities in the fashion industry to experiment with unique and exotic legging prints. - **Textile Industry:** Advanced fabric technology can be explored to create personalized and ruched legging patterns. - **Athletic Wear Industry:** Design space to create comfortable and body-friendly ruched leggings for athletics and workout purposes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elevated Luxury Tights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-luxury-tights.md) - [Purposefully Distressed Luxe Tights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destroyed-tights.md) - [Cherry Red Winter Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-girl.md) - [Performance Functional Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tighties.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Nylon Tights-Transformed Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tights-to-tables.md) - [Edgy Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfe-bambi-boot.md) - [Opulent Holiday Apparel Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brunette-the-label-3.md) - [Color-Centric Underwear Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanky-panky-x-pantone-color-of-the-year.md)
