HUE makes an amazing black lurex pair. I wore them with Cazabat Deco pumps and a McQueen dress to a gala and it was truly a look for the ages.

Blue tights

To start with they sound really ugly. When I imagine them they feel ugly but I have seen a couple of girls wearng them (mainly in colder weather) and they look fabulous (IMO). Just wondered whether people agree or not?

Here are some pics I have found, I think with black they work wonderfully well but with brown not at all

Now I have to say I don't think this color scheme works very well -

I like the blue tights. I like them in all shades - navy, cobalt, smurf blue, pastels, whatever. I'm planning on buying a pastel-y pair from welovecolors sometime soon.

I wondered if Wolford tights are even better than tights dancers wear?
Really don't care about the price, but I want the best pair of black opaque stockings there is!

i think we discussed the chanel ones somewhere else...did anyone ever get price info?

 

[cygnenoir]

I saw those Chanel tights up close at a fashion show and they are sooooo cute!

I spoke to a Chanel girl and iirc the two-tone ones are $210 and the ones that are lace front/black back are $425. Why the difference in price I do not know! Anyhow it was something like that.

They are supposed to be in stores in August and there's a waiting list!

I have a tear on the inside of my leg. To stop the tear, my mother applied clear polish. Is that safe?

 

[seanutbutter]

^ Yes, it's perfectly fine - the polish may show on the tights/stockings, but otherwise it's a great (and safe) method of stopping the tear. Besides, I'd rather have polish show on my tights than a tear.

 

[livingsign]

The nail polish will work fine. It may make your tights a little sticky at first, but it will stop the tear from getting any bigger.

I wore tights for the first time today since i was like five but I noticed that the tended to slip down, awkwardly so as i was wearing a short skirt. I was wondering if they were too big or if there was some secret I just dont know about keeping them in place.... I loved the look, and they were comfortable while up but they wouldn't stay...

haha the same thing happens to me, specially when im walking around. when i was little my mom used to put on my sisters and i double undies haha one under and one on top of the tights to stop them from falling...but i dont think id do it now haha

 

[quimby]

^^ when my tights did that recently, i had to replace them. i think sometimes the elastic just wears out. or it may help to get the tall or "control top" version of tights.

LOL don't get me wrong but I haven't heard that in a long time i used to do it back home when I was a child and it does work , i wish I can use them again but here in FL is just impossible.
