The French Girl Street Style Handbook Includes Matching Your Tights to Your Shoes

PARIS, FRANCE - MARCH 06: Tiffany Hsu wears red tights, Magda Butrym burgundy bag, grey belted overall outside Rick Owens during the Womenswear Fall/Winter 2025/2026 as part of Paris Fashion Week on March 06, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Christian Vierig/Getty Images).

As Fashion Month draws to a close with the shows in Paris this week, I set my sights on the stylish French girls and their chic ensembles. In my sleuthing, attendees picked up a street style trend perfect for incorporating into my end-of-winter outfits: the ingenious hack of styling my tights with matching colored shoes.

The easy-to-master look is so great because it relies on a piece I already have in my closet—I've been wearing tights as a much-needed extra layer this winter, and they're great for transitional spring dressing. But you don't need to rely exclusively on your usual black stockings to get it right. Colors like burgundy, cherry red, dark brown, and white have become stylish options when teamed with ballet flats, heels, or trendy sneakers in a coordinating hue.
