Coloured tights

[ChrissyM]

looking very nice ladies!

lady.stardust i think your layering is great! i love the socks in the boots to break up the blue/black and give some balance with the grey cardigan thing you're wearing on top..

princessimp you look professional but sexy at the same time--i feel like the colored tights, aside from just being cool, also look so flattering! Everyone's legs look so great in them!

 

[lady.stardust]

thanks for the kind words

 

[pinkpolo]

silly question but do colored tights make your legs look thicker? i want to try them out but kind of afraid to stray from black/grays...

 

[ragtag]

^ i really haven't noticed that... unless it's a lighter shade like bright yellow (that one wasn't too flattering on me).

i'm sure you'd look great!

thanks!...
oh my gosh..
they ship them from japan!!!...
...

cool...B)

lady.stardust- i LOVE that!!!
princessimp...i've a feeling it was the open toe that confused people way more than the colour of the hosiery......
frankly- it confuses me too...
i'd almost start a new thread just about those...
because that is a WHOLE other thing that has nothing to do with the colour but the style...and i have questions!...

I asked the same a week ago or so. I think that they DO make your legs lock bigger. But it depends on the color bright red will make your legs look bigger but dark red is not that bad I believe.

this thread has really grown
lots of nice deep colours - so wintery..
i would never wear this bright a colour today, but I found this picture i posted in waywt, two and a half years ago, on my computer

 

[softgrey]

i remember that strawb..
i was wondering if we would get any pics from you actually....
...


so what colours would you wear today....

 

[Tinetush]

Yay, lots of new pics

lady.stardust, you look great. And I love the color as well, not as electric blue as the one normally sees..
princessimp. I love that color. It looks great with the grey and the black..
And I think it looks adorable the way you are wearing them.
chrissyM, I really really like that pic of that girl. Thanks for posting.. I haven't thought about wearing the same color dress as the tights. At least not when isn't not a neutral color. It doesn't look as loud as I had imagined.. yay for uni-color I guess.
Strawberry, I remember that pic too.. I really like the your color combo actually..
soft, Would like to see that thread..

Right now I'm in search after a pair of dark emerald green ones to pair with something dark grey..

I love colored tights:
teal, blue, aqua blue, plum, red, pale blue.

my friend wears Yellow.

I think that Fogal makes the best colors

what would that type of tights even be called?

they're not exactly footless/leggings style..
would those be considered stirrups?

 

[kristi_b]

I like this concept of pairing the same color skirt and leggings from the Maison Martin Margiela s/s 08 show

style.com

^this is a very flattering look. it elongates the legs. i like!

Still love em I wear so much black, clothing-wise, but my hosiery collection is an absolute kaleidoscope.

i'm not really sure...

[snowqueen]
