Sheer Dotted Tights - Page 3

Lovely trend...

ApertureRomance · 19-08-2009

I've been surprised actually most of the ones in the editorials aren't actually Balenciaga , but around £15 like the ones in the UK Vogue shoot with Lily. Which is good news seen as low denier tights always do seem to rip easily.

Topshop has them too. However I have to agree, they've been around for a while! i got them one or two years ago already...lovely though!

**softgrey** · 19-08-2009

when they are this sheer they are not generally referred to as tights but as pantyhose...
and yes- they will snag and run...
generally sheer hose can only be worn once...maybe twice if you are really careful and very lucky...

...

* so stock up on these babies!!...

I'm really liking the general movement towards sheer hosiery after so many years of opaque tights. I feel like the look has a certain maturity to it, a certain glamour that just doesn't come through with tights. I have a vague recollection of my mother wearing these dotted hose back in the day. They're a nice mix of sexy and playful.

But I have a feeling this is going to be beaten into the ground by the end of the season as far as editorials are concerned.

There is no way in heck I can afford this trend if I can only wear a $20 pair once.

I could do something opaque with colored dots because those would last longer. If someone finds something like that, please let me know. I need investment tights.

I love these! I got 2 pairs while I was in london. One with bigger dots and one with smaller ones.

I love the ones with the hearts those are so cute!

Me too. I'm really careful with tights but those Tabio ones I've churned through - a few pairs I've snagged even just putting them on for the first time. And I have short/filed nails. Wore them a lot last year, and would have worn them a lot more if they lasted a bit longer. At 8 quid a go, it wasn't worth it in the end.

If you're careful and take care of them properly, sheer hose can be worn many times. It was done for decades by a whole generation before the trend went to no hose or opaque tights.

those were silk, wich was much more resistant than the contemporary materials used, but i have them and a lot of sheer hoses, and they last a lot!! and i'm not that dainty.. you have to make sure the clothes you are wearing on top of them doesn't stick to it (avoid rigid or tough textures), don't scratch your legs and avoid the cats!!! also, i had some microfiber hoses ages ago (when i was 12!

) and the store lady told me to slightly wet my hands before putting them on, so it would slip better.

it might help.

Oooo I really like this trend

. I'm a huge fan of patterned tights to begin with. Will have to pick up a pair for fall and start experimenting with them.
