Trend examined: Red tights

Ok so I really want to jump on the bandwagon of the red tights trend, but I realize that for my everyday life, I don’t have many opportunities to wear red tights. I suppose they would be ok for parties and going out, but with Christmas right around the corner I feel a little weird wearing bright red tights. Also I think I need to start thinking about my style more before I go out and buy trendy pieces that don’t really fit into my wardrobe. Sometimes I get a little carried away. So to put my own spin on the red tights trend I thought I would go for a more subtle red. I feel that these burgundy tights would fit better in my wardrobe. What do you think? Am I making too much of this?
