The Best Patterned Tights For Autumn: Inspired by London Fashion Week
Five original outfit ideas built around statement hosiery, inspired by the creativity of London's fashion scene.
As wardrobes transition into autumn, one accessory makes a confident return to the spotlight: patterned tights. The right pair can transform even the simplest dress into a fashion statement and this year's runway themes, from romantic florals to gothic glamour, translate surprisingly easily into everyday outfits.
At Simply Joshimo, we've created five exclusive outfit concepts inspired by recurring runway themes: romantic florals, graphic prints, gothic glamour, animal patterns and sparkling evening wear. The rule across every look is the same. Let your tights be the hero, and keep everything else simple. Black separates give patterns room to stand out; if you want colour, rich autumn shades like burgundy, forest green or plum work beautifully alongside black tights.
Runway Ideas, Styled for Real Life
Romantic Florals
Romantic florals soften darker autumn wardrobes while staying sophisticated enough for evenings out. A minimal satin blouse, black wrap mini skirt, structured waist corset belt and pointed heels keep the outfit clean so the intricate floral lace pattern naturally takes centre stage.
Modern Polka Dots
Fishnet mesh gives the classic polka dot a contemporary twist. A tailored oversized blazer, structured bodice, asymmetric mini skirt and patent court shoes create sharp, architectural styling — the softness of the mesh balancing the crisp tailoring.
Bold Animal Print
Leopard Pattern Fishnet Tights>
Rather than pairing leopard print with more bold pattern, this look takes it gothic-elegant: a soft draped black corset, layered chiffon overskirt, statement waist detailing and platform heels let the leopard fishnet remain visible and unmistakably the focal point.
Gothic Elegance
An architectural long black coat, structured leather-look corset, asymmetric draped mini skirt and layered gothic jewellery create a modern gothic look that feels luxurious rather than theatrical — with the skull fishnet tights rewarding a closer look.
Evening Glamour
A crystal-inspired corset bodice, soft draped satin mini skirt, sheer flowing sleeves and pointed heels keep the sparkle concentrated around the legs rather than across the whole outfit — a refined alternative to a heavily embellished dress.
