" target="_blank">tights trend has been spotted on celebs for a while now. But “Gossip Girl” star Taylor Momsen seems determined to single-handedly make sexy stockings the must-have statement item for your winter wardrobe this year.

While I’m not convinced that Momsen’s skimpy stockings are keeping her warm on the cold streets of New York City where she’s been spotted wearing the daring designs on and off set, I do think the look is “hawt.” But also to be tested by only the most daring of fashionistas (Lady Gaga, you listening?).

From fishnets to real garters, to the wonderfully frilly Wolford “Medallion” stockings that Momsen wore with a military jacket to visit MTV studios on November 30, Taylor is ripping her way through all different styles.

Try Tights: Wardobe Update for Under $20

Posted by babu 11:05am GMT

While most of us can't afford the $2500
Christopher Kane dress reality star Whitney Port
(of MTV's "The City") wore to the recent Video Music Awards, we definitely can afford a pair of bright tights for fall that can transform any LBDs in the closet right now.

I love how how designer site
MyTheresa.com paired bright red tights with a Kane dress similar to Port's to completely change the feel of the daring style into something much more wearable for weekends, holiday parties, or even for the office, for those who work in a creative field.

And, make sure to scour discount stores like Marshall's and TJ Maxx for lots of tights, often at 1/2 off.

Trend to Try: Statement Tights

Posted by babu 12:31pm GMT

I don't know about you, but this fall I'm craving touch-me knits, bright booties, cropped jackets, and tights with a mind of their own. From magazine spreads to the runway, there's no question that bold mattes, fishnets and intricate designs are making a serious comeback this year. The big question is: Where do you draw the line between tasteful and tacky?

For a sexy, yet sophisticated, approach to the trend (I love those spotted on Blake Lively while filming for "Gossip Girl" above), stick to simple cutouts and rich hues (like deep burgundy, plum and forest green--I also love mustard for casual affairs). Or, for something more work-appropriate, opt for charcoal and heather greys (perfectly paired with a deep purple or cream sweater-dress).

A few of my personal favorite shopping destinations for tantalizing tights on a budget this year include...
Best for Work: Kohl's (their Vera Vera Wang collection is colorful, yet conservative)
Drool-Worthiest Designs: Target (think floral, fishnet and houndstooth sheering. Warning: they sell out FAST--I learned last year the hard way)
Most Variety: H&M (from leggings to legwarmers, they have it covered)
Coolest Colors: Hue (available at Macy's, their extensive line of shades ranges from blinding brights to earth tones)

Get inspired by more than 200 photos of celebs wearing tights on All the Looks.
