Tights Take the Chill Off

Tights for Everyone!
Have you noticed? Tights are everywhere this fall, and we couldn't be happier. It's getting cold out there!
The freshest way to wear tights is to think of them as an accessory. That means that you're free to wear a contrasting color - there's no need to try to match your legs to your shoes. We're partial to mustard and plum-colored tights because they bring a shot of seasonal color and are surprisingly easy to wear.
If you want to make your legs look longer (a look that never, ever goes out of style) then tights are also for you. Look for opaque solids that match your shoes, thus elongating the leg, or wear ribbed tights. The subtle vertical ribbing will create an optical illusion that will make your legs look like they go all the way up to there.

I'm a man and I love wearing tights and pantyhose. I often wear them openly in public with shorts or skirts and I love the way my legs look and feel. Sounds crazy, but it's true.

Ladies, they make your legs look GREAT and they accentuate your outfit. Only one problem, what happens if they run and you're out on the town?

No doubt about it tights / hold-ups / stockings etc make legs look GREAT! (even on men wearing skirts bless'em). Regarding the danger of laddering it is not beyond the wit of man, let alone a woman, to carry a spare pair in their handbag. If there is a perceived danger of laddering then hold-ups really come into their own because (a0 you dont have to take your knickers off to change them and (b) you only have to change one leg. It can also be done so quickly you may be able to do it in secluded area rather than a toilet.
Go to it girls (and BOYS !!)
