//// Diamond legs
Posted on | April 14, 2010 | 8 Comments
I sort of regret not realizing the possibilities of all sorts of funky tights, socks and leggings until my early thirties. Before that I have been one of those very cautious legwear users, opting for opaque black tights and very, very undetectable nudes (I was particularly specific about the quality of sheer nudes — yeah, the thrill of styling back then… …haha). Then Lindex and H&M expanded their legwear selection and I found myself staring and stroking the microfiber in bright colors more and more often. And thanks for the interwebs, these days my options are not limited to those two (not too bad) options. I’m also always checking the hosiery departments of large department stores when traveling.
Recently I wore some super simple things for running some errands — Babooshka Boutique tunic dress over DIY skirt, We Love Colors diamond tights in nude and black, Rützou wedges and old super narrow glass beaded scarf. I really like how heavy and jewel like this piece is. Without the tights I would never have considered photographing this.
Would you wear diamond tights?

Nice tights. I know what you mean about reaching for the failsafe black opaques or sheer nudes. I have a drawer full of coloured stockings (teal, maroon, purple) but they never see the light of day. Perhaps this winter I will be brave!

I would now! I currently own only 3 pairs of leggings, no tights. I’m ready to experiment.

Oh, this is so fun — to be located around the globe! In this climate tights are useful almost around the whole year, though.
Oh, wow… …that is not much. I think I have about 10 pairs of leggings, only.

The tights add a nice touch to the look and I love how you layered the sheer shirt underneath the tunic dress. I have to start using mine more, I totally forgot that I have it…

i have a fixation for tights — consequence of the shoe fixation. my legs should always be extraordinary that is why i identify with your recent style especially. love diamonds!

Yes I would wear them. I have them in purple. Tights like these dress up my outfits because I have a ton of black dresses and tunics.I was surprised by the quality too! I love the way you wore your outfit. You can add a belt to make more for night or dinner. Oh the possibilities!
