In the poetcore aesthetic, sheer black tights are the ultimate “moody protagonist” staple. They act as a sophisticated bridge between delicate, romantic layers and more structured, academic pieces. For a true editor-approved look, skip the opaque versions and opt for sheer textures that add depth and a hint of edge to your outfit.

The Styling Secret: Use sheer tights to ground feminine pieces like a lace-trimmed dress or a pleated skirt. When paired with chunky loafers and slouchy socks, they create that perfect “lived-in” academic silhouette.
