Alright, I’m convinced—sheer tights look most stylish paired with this "affordable" ‘90s shoe trend.

      Each winter, I encounter the same styling dilemma: figuring out how to make tights appear sleek instead of frumpy. Every year, it takes a bit of adjustment before they start to feel renewed. Typically, I resort to knee-high boots, but this season, I've been inspired by a much more unexpected combination. While out one evening this week, Hailey Bieber reminded me of a shoe trend I hadn't considered in a long time. Instead of the ubiquitous black high-vamp heels, she styled her tights with white pointed-toe pumps—a '90s classic that looked refreshingly modern alongside her ensemble.

      Combined with an otherwise all-black outfit, the bright white shoes and sheer tights elevated her look. They lightened the heaviness of her leather, offering a sense of buoyancy that black heels simply couldn't provide.

      Now, white heels haven't always had the best reputation—often considered a bit “cheap” or difficult to style—but Hailey’s outfit demonstrates their stylish potential lies in the contrast. When kept polished (a quick clean or a visit to a cobbler can resolve any imperfections), they give any outfit a sharp, sophisticated edge.

      If you're also keen to try this two-part formula, scroll down for my selection of the best sheer tights and white pointed-toe heels to replicate Hailey’s surprisingly sleek winter look.
