TIGHT TREND

Try Tights!

Tights: The answer to the long-debated question of whether to go pale bare-legged and goose-bumped in the cooler weather that's ahead or don the dreaded, aging nylons. All the runways, catalogs, and style photos for the upcoming fall and winter seasons are replete with various shades, textures, and degrees of opaque to near-shear tights. Try them with dresses, skirts, and even winter shorts for a leg-lengthening, skin-warming, sensible and stylish accessory to update your current fall and winter items. Combinations can be monochromatic or complimentary colors, like the brown with gray above. Two caveats--stick with less pattern and texture if your clothing items have pattern and texture, and vice versa. Also be aware that a bulky fabric will add weight to the leg, so adjust the weight of fabric you choose accordingly. And walk tall!
