But I am not sure if we can get uniqlo in Canada. I am keeping my eye out for a better pair than the Hue ones, which were never really exactly what I wanted just what I found in the stores. Which to be fair were 3 different locations of the same chain (Legs Beautiful), they just happen to be the most convenient for me. But PPP must prevail </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fair-isle-tights#post-1103468 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 13:47:00 +0000 Astrid 1103468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about these instead? No thick stripes anywhere and Uniqlo is supposed to be very warm. I like the navy!</p> <p><a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/lifewear/women-heattech-knitted-tights-1p-fair-isle/079772-03-005?ref=womens-clothing%2Fwomens-underwear-and-loungewear%2Fwomens-socks-and-tights" rel="nofollow">http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store.....03-005?ref</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fair-isle-tights#post-1103414 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 12:04:55 +0000 VenusCow 1103414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find print tights are great way to vav up simple styling. Too old?

It sounds like a really interesting look, and certainly not too young, rather fun and funky! Not sure what kind of legs you have, but if the sheath dress comes to your knees, I can't see that the horizontal stripes will be an issue.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fair-isle-tights#post-1103397 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 10:40:04 +0000 Jules 1103397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm good point. I wasn't 'seeing' the overall bold striped effect (it's not so obvious in the package because you only see a small stretch of pattern). Good eye fabbers, thank you. I'll keep looking for interesting sweater tights and maybe satisfy the fair isle craving in a different piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fair-isle-tights#post-1103289 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 04:33:28 +0000 Hestonian 1103289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your idea for showcasing the tights, and the grey chevron tights outfit sounds great. Like Gigi, I wonder if the wide horizontal stripes that you're considering would shorten, rather than elongate your legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fair-isle-tights#post-1103281 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 04:24:35 +0000 Gigi 1103281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the tights are nice looking and not juvenile, but my concern with thick horizontal stripes on tights is that they seem to make legs look short. But I have short legs, so I might be overly concerned about this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fair-isle-tights#post-1103267 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 04:13:22 +0000 Jeanie 1103267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this idea! &nbsp;I hope you go for it. &nbsp;I bet it will look great on you will paired with a simple sheath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fair-isle-tights#post-1103226 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 03:38:09 +0000 Jules 1103226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason I am craving some patterned sweater tights. Like these:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/HUE-Hue-Fairisle-Sweater-Tights/dp/B00F8LB3SY">http://www.amazon.com/HUE-Hue-.....B00F8LB3SY</a></p> <p>And I am thinking of wearing them with my new Sam Edelman Circus oxfords, which are dark, almost&nbsp;navy patent blue (rather than black) but still with a black sole as shown:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Circus-Sam-Edelman-Womens-Darien/dp/B00BYPGEOQ">http://www.amazon.com/Circus-S.....B00BYPGEOQ</a></p> <p>The rest of my outfit would be a simple black sheath dress (the Alfred Sung one from Costco that a few people have - it's a good weight knit), cardigan in navy or dark burgundy, possibly a&nbsp;leopard patterned grey scarf. Basically pretty low key so the tights would be the star.&nbsp;I'm already wearing this outfit with grey chevron-patterned tights. I am just having trouble deciding if the fair isle tights are too juvenile for 40yo me,&nbsp;and the look will be silly, and of course I can't return tights if they don't work.&nbsp;</p> <p>Should I be looking for fair isle tights for my young DDs instead of myself?!?</p>
