  • Christmas tree patterned tights (sparkly, graphic, or cartoonish)
  • Christmas bauble prints (glittery, colourful, unapologetically festive)

These prints make your legs the star of the outfit—perfect for parties, office fun days, or any moment that calls for a smile.

Style with: mini skirts, simple dresses, or statement boots that let the prints shine.
