Yes, I am just as suprised as you are! We are wearing tights yet another fall! I thought tights were only gonna last about a year or two. I thought this way back in 04/05. And look at us now!! I remember when I wore a short purple dress with black opaque tights to the Pretty Nasty party in 2006 or 2007. Everyone asked, "You wearing those tights with the feet in? OMG???" LOL. Back then people really only wore footless leggings, the opaque tight hadn't become the craze yet.
The thing that separates fall 2009 and the past years, is the huge variety in the patterns and textures. Before we would do opaque or not opaque, maybe a small pattern or a fishnet, nothing too drastic. This year tights can actually be the key item in your look. Trendy patterns, liquid, sequinned, torn, denim, or studded are just a few ways to rock a legging this fall.
I just bought some FAB floral tights from Forever that I cant wait to wear! Not to mention those houndstooth tights pictured above! Those need to be on my legs immediately! Lol!
Leggings and tights can very easily be a disaster if not worn properly. You have to know your body and know what flatters you. Tights are another one of those trends that does not work for everyone. Also you have to know what to pair your tights with. Some girls, depending on the body type and their style level, can rock a legging with just a shirt. Others cannot. And just because you are skinny doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
Even a crackhead saw the business opportunity in leggings. Lindsay Lohan started her very own legging line 6126. http://thefabulyselife.blogspot.com/2009/08/lindsey-lohan-and-frankie-get-clothing.html She even invented the "ankle glove." Which is a leg warmer on crack. Some of her leggings are pretty cute, but they aren't any different from any other leggings in the world. I'm done hating.
Happy FALL FASHIONS!! I love getting dressed in the fall! Its just cool enough to wear the cutest outfits without having to cover them up with a coat!
