Period. 745369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gabi, yesterday I posted my outfit with very brightly colored tights: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thats-bold" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....thats-bold</a></p> <p>They are in a very bold pairing, but it's another idea of how to liven up tights and break out of the black tights rut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-for-styling-printed-tights#post-744272 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 12:24:41 +0000 April 744272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gabi, are you talking about tights with a colorful print <a href="http://www.mytights.com/us/fashion-hosiery/patterns-prints/celeste-stein-be-my-heart-tights.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mytights.com/us/fas.....ights.html</a>, or a "pattern" that's more of a texture <a href="http://www.mytights.com/us/tights/fashion/charnos-matte-melange-spot-tight.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mytights.com/us/tig.....tight.html</a>? </p> <p>I'm a big fan of textured tights, but not of brightly-colored patterns. To me, they look really young, and since I'm not really young but am pretty short, I think colorful tights give me a "Baby Jane" vibe. </p> <p>I think it depends on whether you're looking for tights to be part of an ensemble, or whether you want them to be the star of a one-woman show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-for-styling-printed-tights#post-744244 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 10:43:07 +0000 kkards 744244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>start with basic black with a small pattern, maybe small dots or stripes. once you are comfortable with wearing them, start to experiment with bolder patterns and colors.</p> <p>i love mixing textured tights with my denim pencil skirt, black knit skirts, and a basic gray knit dress...it makes them more interesting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-for-styling-printed-tights#post-743877 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 21:35:18 +0000 K. Period. 743877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear printed tights all the time and suggest the same as Elisabeth and Zapotee. I often try to match something in the pattern of the tights to the pattern in the outfit if the color isn't a match. If the color is a match, then I go a little wilder with the pattern. I've found that the patterns I get the most wear from a ribbed or subtly textured. However, an argyle type one in black has been a surprise favorite of mine too. </p> <p>When the weather cools down this week, I'm busting out a new outfit with a bold tight. I'm going to wear a navy dot shift dress with mustard yellow tights, black shoes and a bright blue cardigan. I saw the combo in Boden and it looked fantastic. Wish me luck and look for it as a WIW later this week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-for-styling-printed-tights#post-743860 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 21:09:45 +0000 Gabi 743860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Elisabeth and Zapotee, i'll try both of those ideas </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-for-styling-printed-tights#post-743858 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 21:06:58 +0000 Aziraphale 743858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear boldly patterned tights sometimes, and when I do, I make the tights the focus of the outfit. I keep the rest of it -- the skirt and top -- in a solid, neutral colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-for-styling-printed-tights#post-743848 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:54:43 +0000 Anonymous 743848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely disregard the pattern and used them just as plain hose. I don't even try to match it to anything. More fun that way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-advice-for-styling-printed-tights#post-743840 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:38:34 +0000 Gabi 743840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I go to school in San Francisco and I wear tights probably three to four days a week but I'm getting tired of plain black ones. I'm thinking of buying some patterned or colored ones but I have no clue how to style them. Does anyone who wears (or knows someone who does) patterned/colored tights have any suggestions? </p>
