Technicolour Tights

I wash my hands off coding the website. It's fine though, like my majorly plain site the runway model should never steal the focus away from the outfit, right?

I was inspired by ELLE and decided to do my first feature on, well, Technicolour Tights. These solid-coloured tights, footless or not, have made several noted appearances on the runway this Spring.

Myself have not seen them on people in real life, not even impressionable individuality-seeking youth who choose to stick to their red fishnets [EUGGGHH by the way.].

These vividly orange pair make you sit up and notice, but doesn't detract the eye from the whole ensemble. Very complementary.

Cute. The season's hot neo look made less work-appropriate, coupled with bright yellow stockings.

Translucent purple footless with floaty dresses. Psychedelic ethereal? Loves it.

Aah, a skirt suit over electric blue. Lolita much?

I like the idea of peekaboo tights. I hate wearing mini skirts with footless tights, they are so overrated. I guiltily learnt that the hard way.

Peekaboo neon turquoise! The Japanese people rock. They experiment like hell hath no fury.

Rihanna in hot pink tights. I love this outfit, very modern disco.

Personally, I love them immensely. I just haven't been able to find one. Colourful flashy tights aren't exactly coveted in Singapore. Even when I do find one, they're leggings made for the petite Asians and hence too short for my longer legs.

When that happens it cuts my calf in 2, and that, is a fashion faux pas because it makes you have half a leg. I like feeling tall.

So till the perfect pair of technicolor tights comes my way, i'll stick to my black stockings.
