Do you love fun and fearless trends? Then you've clicked on the right link. In the world of fashion, there are always garments that can turn the usual blah look into something a bit more inspired. This latest fashion trend has arrived just in time to add color, texture, and style to your legs.

If your closet is stock full of skirts and dresses, and you're not always sure how to give your looks that special fashionista twist, take a hint from the leading fashion houses. They’ve given the green light to embellished tights: appliques, rhinestones, and floral and plaid prints are just a few of the trends that were featured on the catwalks.

Ready to take the plunge? If you're still torn about it, here are some ideas and ways to top off your outfits with this chic styling trend:

It\'s raining pearls

From Giambattista Valli's collection in collaboration with H&M, these pearl-embellished tights took over the catwalk. If you usually go for black, this option takes the more traditional approach and moves it up a notch; the pearl bead appliqués stand out over the dark mesh, giving a fun twist to a classic garment and an otherwise plain outfit.

Picture Perfect Houndstooth

If the houndstooth print is one of your favorite trends from the last few seasons, Calzedonia's catwalk could be a major source of inspiration. This macro version is an original take on the popular houndstooth trend. Ideal for a comeback in style.

Eye-catching red

As always, Versace astonishes with a striking, sensual, and very glamorous design. These red lace tights are the perfect way to add a colorful touch to an outfit in which neutral colors predominate.

Conspicuous animal print

Dolce & Gabbana always features daring and feminine outfits. The fashion house keeps coming back to the animal print again and again, and this time they've used it on a pair of leggings to complement the overall outfit.

Need a pair of these in your closet? As always, we're here to help, we'll give you some options that'll fulfill your desire to stand out from the crowd.

With polka dots

What they lack in texture, they make up for in sparkle. These Gipsy Sheer Sparkle Polka Dot Tights in black and silver can be found at Asos ($14.50). This is the perfect pair of tights to flatter your legs using a delicate and feminine touch.

Animal print tights from Pretty Little Thing

Leopard print

If you like Dolce & Gabbana's concept of treating animal print as a work of art for your legs, then this is the perfect proposal for you. These Brown Leopard Tights are available at Pretty Little Thing ($15.00). It'll only take one almost all-black outfit to make them the elegant key piece for your look.

Tights with a classic print

The houndstooth print is proving to be very popular this season, although this isn't the first time it's established itself as a featured embellishment. Calzedonia's Red Macro Paws Pantyhose ($10.95) just might be your next obsession. Try this modern version of the classic design to spice up your winter outfits.

Floral tights

If you've always been a huge fan of lace and fishnet pantyhose, then Commando's Floret Net Tights ($36.00) were made just for you. Wear them with a mini dress featuring a front slit on the skirt and combat boots. An ideal alternative for heading into the spring.
