Like many women, I have a love/hate relationship with tights. On the one hand, they sort of feel like they've been vacuum sealed to your thighs. On the other hand, they can be really cute and keep you warm(ish). Now that fall is officially upon us, it's time to consider introducing the legwear back into your life. Sure, we still have a few bare-legged days ahead of us — it's not that cold yet. But the temps are falling and you may want to think about perfecting that tights collection before it's too late.

When it comes to tights, I personally believe the quirkier the better. Sure, plain black has a go-with-everything upside, but fun legwear has the capacity to upgrade your outfit from "sorta chic" to street style worthy. Plus, tights are super affordable! You can re-stock every year, thus breathing new life into your cold-weather wardrobe without spending big bucks. And, frankly, you'll probably need to replace tights most years because of how fragile they are. Unless Taylor Momsen is your style icon, in which case, shred away!

Ready to commit to covering up this season? I have just the selection of next-level legwear to make your embracing of the tight far less painful. Here are the 15 most badass pairs the Internet has to offer!
