Your summer dresses will have to go and your wardrobe will need a boost.
Stockings known to be the hottest garment in the industry have been around for decades.
When it comes to utilising fashion accessories, most women automatically assume that a pair of earrings, a necklace, or some bangle is enough to set one outfit apart from the rest.
Some women are savvy enough to realise that the right handbag and shoes can also add to a fashion statement.
But few women truly appreciate the role that tights, stockings, thigh highs, and other hosiery can play in creating a distinct and contemporary look.
Go shorter with your dresses and skirts, and team those up with a beautiful pair of woolly tights.
They will keep your legs warm on chilly days. Tunics look great any season. Pick up a smart knee-length wool tunic and wear it over a good pair of any dark-coloured stocking.
Out with friends in the evening? A short pleated skirt or a short pant worn on a stocking will give you a smart and trendy look.
Consider colour
Experiment with colours but don’t be too bold. It is advisable to stick with earthy tones. However, you could once -in-a-while go funky with bright shades of blue, pink, green and purple leggings. You can achieve eye-catching appeal with stockings that are stripped and patterned.
When you are in doubt or experimenting for the first time, consider basic colours.
Go with nude or black. Consider whether you want pantyhose or stockings. Wear pantyhose with short dresses and skirts, and with anything clingy. Stockings, especially the kind that stay up on their own, can be fun, sexy and more comfortable than pantyhose.
Usually the right choice in stockings means no one will notice them. Occasionally, stockings can make a dramatic statement -- a pattern or a seam up the back, for example. Use these judiciously as they can easily overwhelm an outfit.
