 Oh happy freezing day!!

 this shot was another attemptment at layering fishnets with

tights underneath. (wearing the crotch-scraper!)

 

 I'm freezing my butt off! (anything for a good shot!)

Having an old Hollywood moment!

TRENDY WAYS TO WEAR THE TIGHTS TREND 

The more the merrier when it comes to covering our legs! (and a great way to hide those veins!). LAYERS!   Usually when I wear crotch-scrapers (mini-skirts or dresses) I turn to my old faithful thick black tights, but today colorful  tights and even Knee sox are warming the legs of women everywhere! -not to mention Over-The-Knee socks.  A trick I have seen women doing is wearing the over-the-knee sox with shorter boots to create the look of the thigh-high boot, without the price tag. -Theses photos are 2 looks I like--- I layered  FOOTLESS Diamond patterned fishnet tights over plain light- colored ones. Also, layered a pair of brown fishnet stockings over a pair of light pink tights. Both work great, but I liked the footless better for boots! --As a woman over 40- I stick to keeping my legs covered and especially when wearing a shorter skirt, I keep the tights very thick. This can still look trendy without being too overexposed! 

TIPS to TRY! 

**TIP**-WHEN U WEAR FISHNET STYLES OVER LEGGINGS, U CAN CHOOSE A FOOTLESS VERSION-I find mine at sears- THIS WAY YOUR BOOTS DON'T FEEL SO TIGHT OR CRAMPED**

*TIP*--wear short sox over bright tights  for a pop of style if u wear flats or mary-janes*

*TIP--wear knee sox over tights and under boots for a pop of color*

*TIP--wear knee sox darks over lighter color tights, and vise-versa*

*TIP--Layer 2 colors together to make a new color-like nail polish!*

*TIP--or combine all of the above and create a really special look!*

*TIP--add a transparent  'tattoo' style tight over a bright color*

*TIP--don't be afraid to show those "hosed" toes- it's no longer a no-no!*

How to layer tights

Layering has become a big trend over the past seasons. And now, layering with tights has become a bigger trend. Tights have exploded in the fashion industry and now come in different colors, textures, and styles. You can layer tights with dresses, sweaters, and tunics. It’s becoming more acceptable to wear tights as leggings. But of course they may not be appropriate to wear everywhere. Layering tights is easier than you think. You can give yourself a quick makeover by having one different look.

First, you should buy high quality tights. These tights should be durable and have several purposes. Your best bet would be to have tights that offer shaping and tummy control. This way, no lumps or bumps will show underneath your tunic or dress. Plus, these tights will give you extra room when wearing tight skirts.

Always pick tights that compliment the colors in your wardrobe. If you’re dressing for the office, think conservatively. Wear tights in blacks, browns, or navys. If you’re dressing for a party, then pick tights that contrast with your wardrobe. Spice up a little black dress by layering a red or cobalt blue tight. Or do the exact opposite. Wear a black tight with a sexy red dress. The color of the tight will tone down the look and feel of the dress. Plus, it adds interest to your look without having to be sexy. Leave the white tights to the nurses and children. This is a big fashion don’t for older women. Play with tone on tone colors such as a tan dress with chocolate tights, and a baby blue sweater with navy tights. It’ll break up the monotony of your look.

Tights come in a variety of textures and prints, so don’t be afraid to experiment with those. The textures of tights can range from lace designs or fishnets. If you’re ever planning to wear fishnets, it’s best to layer them with a darker tight underneath, preferably black or brown. Your total look won’t appear as suggestive. Colorful patterned tights should only be layered with the natural colors in your wardrobe such as black, brown, white, and navy.

Now that you have the type, style, and color tights you need, you can learn how to layer them with other pieces in your wardrobe. Layer tights with a mini or knee-length skirt. Depending on the length of your skirt, you can add boots to your look. This creates a more finished look than traditional flats and Maryjanes. You should layer tights with a casual dress or tunic and knee-high boots. Evening and cocktail dresses look best with pumps or open-toe shoes. Don’t be afraid to contrast the color of your shoe with your tights and outfit, as long as it matches
