Opaque black tights F/W 07.08

I love this trend, too. I wish I were ballsy enough to wear sandals with them here in the winter; alas, my state is too fashion backward to be able to handle it.

*style tip--wearing two pairs at a time insures a completely dark and elegantly sleek leg

that is a great tip!

I never seem to find tights that look black enough once I wear them. I'll try that tomorrow with my white ultra mini lace dress thing..

two pair at once-that genius

I think my legs look bulky with two pairs on

Most of the winter, if I am in a dress, I wear black opaque tights and black shoes. I have never developed an appreciation for stockings unless I am heading out on an exciting date. In spring and fall, I wear tights and shoes that are the exact same color. I think tights are good looking, practical and comfortable. And they don't run! I usually buy shoes first, then go shopping for tights if I don't have some that match the color of the shoes. It is amazing how many shades and colors of black there really are!

I feel like it's become so safe. Everyone takes a dress or long top and puts black tights underneath. I prefer something with a pattern or embellishment or bright colored ones.

^ Thats weird you mention it, I do the layering thing all the time. I dont like how with one pair some parts are completly opaque on me while some parts are kind of transparent.

my god i have to congratulate you, because one pair is restricting enough for me! couturex, i agree with you, it has become very safe but i also think its quite classic and like anything that becomes a trend gets overdone. Though I cant get my head around wearing it with open toe and contrasting shoes. it just screams wrong to me!
