Its late November and finally the fall chill has arrived.
Coats, scarves, hats, gloves and boots are major clothing staples during the
cold months. I’m a huge fan of all of those I’ve just mentioned (especially
scarves), but my favorite fall accessory or all time are
opaque tights. I buy a
couple pairs every fall season.
The benefits of wearing
tights – you ask???
- You can wear them with heels, flats and boots.
- They hide un-shaved and other leg imperfections (bruises,
scars) that sheer hosiery do not.
- You don’t have to worry about having runs in tights like you
do with sheer hosiery.
- They keep your legs warm. You can now buy fleece-lined tights!
- You can turn a dress or skirt that’s typically more “dressy”
into a contemporary, work-appropriate outfit with the addition of tights and a
nice bootie (I’m referring to the shoe boot).
- Finally, tights make your legs look long – especially if you
have a matching or coordinating shoe.
I stick to the basic colors - black, navy, brown and gray, but
black is my favorite. I have a multitude
of black tights with various intricate details and opacity, along with one or
two pairs of the other colors. I would love to wear hot pink, red plaid, or
lime green tights – but really - I’m over 45 years-old!!!
So get a fashion leg-up and wear some opaque tights.
