Fashion month may have travelled on from Scandinavia, but our minds are still in Copenhagen. From the front row to the frozen pavement, colourful tights emerged as the styling trick of the season – and we’re taking note

Spring is technically within reach, but across Scandinavia the temperatures remain stubbornly sub-zero – rendering bare legs more fantasy than fact. And yet, outside the shows at last month’s Copenhagen Fashion Week, there is always a way to flash your legs without getting frostbite: stockings.

Consider this your cue to retire your reliable 40-denier black. In their place? The bold and the beautiful: from brightly coloured mono-coloured tights to lace-laden legs, find inspiration and our favourite picks to shop below.
