subject: How To Wear Tights This Spring / Summer [print this page] During the summer months it should be sunny and too hot to wear tights; however in the UK were not always as lucky as to see the sunshine, so our ideas of summer fashion must be adapted so that we dont end up buying hot pants and bikinis when its raining outside!
Tights are still very wearable during the spring/summer season, so if youre a hosiery lover and dont want to bare your legs then its definitely worth investing in some spring tights; there are many different styles that can be worn with your spring/summer wardrobe and compliment your outfits nicely.
Sheer tights are great for this season as theyre slightly cooler due to the lower denier and if you opt for a nude shade, they can add a summer glow to your legs. Take inspiration from Kate Middleton and go for ladylike elegance in nude sheers; whether you like yours matt or glossy, these will make your legs look irresistible and can be worn with any daytime outfit!
If youre not a sheer tights lover, then dont worry because here it is still okay to wear opaques during the summer. In the spring months when its colder you can wear black opaque tights with different outfits; a big high street trend at the moment is to wear denim shorts, black opaques and high top trainers such as Converse. This is a great formula for a casual spring outfit which can be adapted to trends by changing shorts and tops accordingly! You can also add some colour to your looks by opting for a seasonal colour palette and trying hosiery in this colour. Pastel colours are a big trend this summer season and so pastel coloured hosiery is an easy way to update a look.
Another big hosiery trend coming through is the revival of white tights, which work perfectly for most spring/summer trends when the weather is cold. White tights are also a great investment as theyre going to be a big style statement for the autumn/winter season seen on so many catwalks including PPQ.
If you like to lead the way in fashion trends, then pick yourself up a pair of fishnets this summer before the trend goes big! Seen on catwalks such as House of Holland, fishnet tights and socks are back and are more fun with lots of fashionable styles such as pastel fishnets and patterned styles appearing. House of Holland has designed some gorgeous animal print fishnets in their collaboration with Pretty Polly which are some of the most fashionable tights this season.
Patterned and printed styles are still at the forefront of fashion hosiery and there are many gorgeous new designs this season that will make your legs look fabulous and summery.
Lace tights are a brilliant choice, especially in white and ivory shades which are nice and light for the seasons palette and also add a pretty touch to any outfit. Spots were massive last autumn and are still on trend so opt for delicate polka dots this season and think delicate patterns and prints.
You may not like the sound of this last suggestion, but flags are in! With the Olympics coming to London and the celebration of the Queens Jubilee, everyones going Britain crazy and we cant resist a good union jack. Keep your eyes peeled for some gorgeous union jack flag tights coming from Henry Holland and Pamela Mann which are perfect for making your legs stand out this festival season!
