Apologies to my 40 deniers—this is the professional fashion way to wear black tights this winter.

      The City of Lights has been home to numerous style icons throughout its rich history: Marie Antoinette and her rococo splendor, Josephine Baker and her flamboyant showgirl attire, Audrey Hepburn and her beatnik sophistication… Now, at the start of Paris Fashion Week, the legendary supermodel Kate Moss has taken it upon herself to showcase why this French capital is the ideal setting for fashion-forward individuals to express themselves. Known for making her beloved wardrobe staples the highlight of her outfits—including the Levi's 501s she frequently donned during her '90s downtime, the Wellington boots she wore at Glastonbury in the early 2000s, or her vintage Hermès bag that she brought to the beach in Formentera—Moss’s most recent appearance centered around a very straightforward formula. However, it was her embodiment of the effortless sensuality and refined elegance that the city is known for that truly caught my attention.

      (Image credit: AP Images) I’m referring to how the 51-year-old elevated a simple little black dress into something much more sophisticated by pairing it with black tights and stylish round-toe heels. She donned this outfit while running errands in the 1st arrondissement: checking in at The Ritz in Place Vendôme, attending a fitting at Tom Ford’s studio, and enjoying the sights after witnessing Saint Laurent’s spring/summer 2026 collection on Monday night. For the last event, it seems she drew inspiration from Anthony Vaccarello’s latest collection, as the Belgian designer also presented a range of striking looks paired with lighter stockings and modest pumps.

      (Image credit: ImaxTree Launchmetrics Spotlight) While a luxurious monochromatic outfit like this aligns with what one might consider packing for Paris, what surprised me most was her choice to swap her higher-denier tights for a more sheer pair. In the past, I’ve almost entirely avoided anything under a 40 denier, mistakenly believing they wouldn’t provide any impact. However, Kate has demonstrated that there’s a quiet sophistication in exercising restraint and not opting for overly bold hosiery this season.

      (Image credit: Getty Images) Those who wonder, "What ever happened to glamour?" will be pleased to see Kate properly dressing for both the occasion and the location. With the party season and colder weather approaching, it feels more appropriate than ever to embrace the joy of dressing up just for the fun of it. Who knew that all it required was slipping on a pair of tights that have been sitting in your drawer since high school? I’m not advocating for you to grab this exact pair, but consider this an invitation to refresh your collection and check out my selection of the most stylish black tights currently available below.
