I have such a hard time keeping my dresses and skirts from sticking to my tights, even with a slip on. Help!Kara

During cooler weather, tights are the ultimate way to pull together a great look featuring your favorite dress or skirt. But static cling can totally rain on your style parade. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to battle these clingy annoyances.
Read on for three ways to keep your dresses from clinging to your legs:
Use anti-static spray:
For a traditional approach, pick up some anti-static spray at your local store. Be sure to check the label, but these puppies are generally always safe on all colorfast fabrics, even silk, satin, wool & fine cotton.
Hairspray the static away:
There’s one way to stop the stick using a beauty item you probably already have on-hand: hairspray. Grab some it from your at-home styling station & add a quick spritz up & down your tights. Sure, it may sound strange, but it gets the job done.
Pat static away with a dryer sheet:
Another great go-to hack is to pat the area with a dryer sheet. Keep some stashed in your bathroom cabinet for easy access to dab it on your tights & skirts before you slip them on or do a quick swipe before you head out the door.
Now that you’re able to keep the static away with these easy tricks, style your tights until your heart’s content!
