I still throw on my leggings underneath tunics and jean jackets on weekends and lazy days, but I’m about ready to toss the Lindsay Lohan staple out for good.

In fact, everyone from Spanx to Urban Outfitters (to Rodarte, if you think your tights will last longer than a month or so) have their own versions of lace patterned tights, including these Antique Lace Tights at Nordstrom.
