Stripey Goodness

I cannot resist a wild tight. I’ve got argyle tights and zebra tights, tights that look like tattoos and tights that look like varicose veins. I wear them in gray, black, brown, navy, purple, green, and burgundy. This is my first pair with horizontal stripes.

Dress, vintage, thrifted, and shortened. Blazer, borrowed from New Gate. Sweater, Body Central. Tights, Miss Sixty. Boots, White Mountain. Earrings, Ali’s Boutique.


Let’s be honest, even on the most stick-like of legs, loud tights can create the illusion of extra bulk. Horizontal stripes, argyle, and sparkles are the worst offenders. My usual solution is to wear the craziest of my tights with boots, so that less of the leg is visible. Now I can enjoy the stripey goodness without looking like I have inflatable calves.
