I would like to encourage everyone to think outside their Spanx this season when it comes to leg wear. With stockings being the au courant accessory, now’s the time to think beyond basic black. And since everyone from Target to Wolford is peddling high-fashion options, you can name your price. Take advantage of the cornucopia of tights that will be on sale the day after Thanksgiving and experiment with something new.
Hue
You can play it pop art style and step out of a Warhol painting in luridly colored tights. Anything goes and you’ll have maximum contrast with a black skirt. Or be dark and sophisticated with deep hues. Try eggplant with black, navy with grey and rust with brown.
Emilio Cavallini
Crazy patterned tights abound this season! To keep from looking crazy while wearing them, pair patterned tights with a solid outfit. If you’re feeling adventurous, try patterned tights with a similarly patterned outfit- grey herringbone tights with a grey herringbone dress.
Sock Dreams
If all the colors and patterns flying around make you a little dizzy, go for tactile impact instead. With everything from frisky fishnets and saucy seamed stockings to cozy cable knits and rustic ribbed tights available, your legs will still command attention.
