Mad about Tights

Mad about Tights by tracey-j-whitney featuring tan boots

So yes in the random tradition of Pop Trash Beauty we are talking about tights . This post has taken me back to my first posts as a wee Pop Trash Beauty never taking fashion seriously. You really shouldn't it for its a mere suggestion always do what you want. So now we take a look at the world of tights.

Black Tights - Its a no brainier that these look good on everyone. Black is a magic color that thins us out .

Lace/ pattern Tights: This where it gets tricky , make sure you get the right size. If your full in the thigh you may incur the ham effect. I am a curvy girl what I found is if they fit right even go a size up if needed. Nothing pushes through the lace.( I keep it real here , If I wont talk about the ham effect who will )

White Tights : I haven't really witnessed this go good. With the exceptions of nurses who rock them well. It depends on how you pair them truly. White has a tendency to make things look bigger . They get dirty quite easily. Also we are grown women most of us can look very school girl like. Though if that is the look you want by all means.

Colored Tights : I find you can rock the colored tights at any age or size. I want you to remember that the tight with the bright color like say bright purple is the statement piece. I would pair with a toned down outfit . I wear mine with a black knee length dress , denim coat , chuck taylors , black flats. You don't need allot of accessories for the tights are doing the work. I have changed to pairing with boots for it is a bit chilly here in the Northeastern United States.

I found a more comprehensive guide to tight wearing online that you should take a look at. I know some of my fashionista friends are laughing for the tight was supposed to have excited in 2009. I will have to say a coast to coast adventure and four lay overs at big hub airports dont lie. The wonen are mad about there tights.

Here is a tight guide with more info and less ham.
