Coloured tights

[Nemova]

^I promise I'll try and take some pics when I wear them.

It's really hard to find bright colours where I live. I only know one brand that makes coloured tights and they only have colours like the ones I bought.

 

[Tinetush]

^Great.
I know, It's not easy to find any here either. H&M sometimes have some, but I'm not that crazy about their colors. The only brand that really has some here is 'vogue' I have some petrol, electric blue and dark purple colored ones from there. they are the ones I've seen on sale though. And I noticed there was some in orange, burgundy, teal, brown and navy. So I'm actually looking forward to buying some tomorrow

nemova those are some really great, muted wintery colors..!

very wearable imo

definitely snap some pics when you get around to wearing any of them

i really want some gold ones for Christmas...but im afraid they will make my legs look fat

 

[ChrissyM]

^^i think you should be ok..
i have a pair of yellow and when i wore them i didn't think my legs looked any bigger than usual..

 

[Nemova]

Thanks ChrissyM. I'm going to Buenos Aires next month and hope for the temperature to drop a few degrees so I can wear my tights there.

ah thank you!
my legs are rather skinny but i consider my knees as a bit lumpy!

 

[Tinetush]

sounds interesting fairy. But I'm with Chrissy, I don't think it's going to be a problem, especially not since you say that your legs are rather skinny.
btw. You don't plan on wearing them with a dress in red velvet now do you?

Oh I just remembered this outfit Laura Bailey wore. I love the dress with the tights. Though I would prefer the tights to be more opaque..

well theyre not THAT expensive...3 pound or something, if theyll make my legs look awful its not a waste of much money!
haha red velvet would you like that...
i would look a bit like a wrapped christmas gift!

 

[Tinetush]

^Yeah that's not that expensive.. I would go for it..
Yep just add a green bow in your waist and you are good to go

 

[fairy]

yup and then im gonna lay down under the tree and try not to move...maybe someone will unwrap me

haha seriously...i think i will go for a purple dress as purple is my fave colour!

nemova inspired me to take a pic of mine haha

black, purple, red, navy, yellow

i got all of them except for the navy at american apparel. i love the quality! the purple and black ones were my first ones i got over the summer (can you believe i wore them over the summer when it was like 90+ degrees outside lol) and im planning on getting a dark grey color and royal blue.

fairy: Being unwrapped sounds good - and dirty too.

m4ryb3ar: I'm glad you got inspired by my pics. You've got some nice colours. How did you rock your tights in the summer? I'm trying to get inspired to wear mine but it's so hot where I am.

thank you, you too! haha i just wear them under mid-thigh/mini dresses. also i have a dark grey pair of shorts (dress shorts? like pinstripe cuffed shorts) and i wear black tights under them with some flats. i dont know how to describe it well haha it might sound tacky but i like it. i really like tights because i dont like to show too much skin. and i always get them a size bigger so that theyre not so opaque. ill try to post a picture next time i wear shorts.

 

[Nemova]

^Great suggestions! Thanks.

I ran into this young designer at the Lane Crawford opening party here in Beijing:

Interesting with the shin guards - is that a new trend?

 

[ChrissyM]

looks like she's got the peep-toe tight thing going on as well

are those really shin guards though??

 

[unipine]

they look like leg warmers to me..

 

[Nemova]

I know these are not coloured in the sense that we've been discussing here but I liked the contrast between the tights and the flats:

I slipped down the stairs and broke my favorite pair of red tights at the knees Does anyone know where I can find a pair of really thick red tights?
