Gray tights on the runway
Regardless of the weight or shade you choose, gray tights create visual interest, transforming even the simplest outfits with a modern effect that classic black tights don’t always provide. Great examples of this were spotted on the runway at Jil Sander. For the Spring/Summer 2027 collection, designer Simone Bellotti chose a unique style, somewhere between sheer and opaque. Here, the gray tights blend seamlessly with the brand’s signature aesthetic, characterized by minimal details, delicate pastel shades, and classic shapes.
Let’s take a step back. Even on the Fall/Winter 2026–2027 runways, gray tights were the undisputed stars, appearing in an endless array of styles. Bottega Veneta chose a darker, heavy wool style and paired it with a fur jacket and lace-up shoes. The texture and shape of the jacket transformed the tights into a pair of leggings, similar to how street style has played with tights as leggings this season. MSGM, on the other hand, went for a classic look, opting for a sheerer style paired with a midi skirt and pumps.
