I don't know what things are like where you are, but where I am it's cold. Really cold. As in, there's a nor'easter coming and I wore my winter coat to the office today -- cold. Along with the cold weather comes all sorts of seasonal fashion changes. Longer sleeves, longer skirts, boots, and of course, a favorite of many -- tights.

You don't feel weird wearing brightly colored jeans, so why not opt for brightly colored tights, right? These Linear Dot Tights ($32, katespade.com) are cute and totally office-friendly. Get funky by choosing a different pair in other bright solids like pink or green.
