Tightsplease

We love a bit of praise every now and again, and we love nothing more than when our fantastic TightsPlease fans put it in writing!

We recently sent Amanda, founder of fabulous fashion blog, Forty Not Out, a selection of Tights Please products for her to do a quick review on. The selection we sent included our exclusive to Tights Please, Red or Dead Addy Tights, Spanx Power Panties, and Charnos Cotton Cable and Ribbed Knee High Socks.

All three of the products are must have items and accessories for the season ahead! Spanx Power Panties are an essential, more so than knickers I’d say! Guaranteed to smooth out those lumps and bumps – yes please! Socks are now in a league of their own, worn with trendy brogues, chunky clogs or peeping over the top of boots, just like Amanda has in her photo, you can’t be without a pair they are this season’s ultimate accessory! Red or Dead is now exclusive to Tights Please and their Addy Tights are a quirky updated alternative to the seam tights!

Enjoy the weekend!

For us here at Tights Please, and I’m sure many others would agree, being invited to the 67^th Venice Film Festival would involve an outrageously expensive dress, fabulous shoes and a huge diva temper tantrum when the false eyelashes wouldn’t stay glued on! However, it seems for stunning Jessica Alba, none of this applies; she arrived at the Venice Film Festival in a denim jacket, a grey vest dress, loafers and opaque black tights, in this rig out she’d have struggled to looked dressed up at V Festival! This isn’t to say she didn’t look incredible, just unexpectedly under dressed.

She does however enforce how key the opaque black tights trend is for the Autumn Winter season. Incredibly chic, exceptionally flattering and featured all over this season’s best catwalks investing in a pair of reliable black tights is a must!

Wolford Velvet De Luxe 66 are guaranteed to keep your pins looking fantastic, not only do they offer exceptional quality but they are also incredibly comfortable and offer an ultra smooth appearance. For a more cost effective alternative to Wolford, Charnos 60 Denier Opaques are perfect!

Visit our black tights page now, you’ll find something to suit every occasion … including, apparently, film festivals!

Beyonce’s label House of Dereon is under fire! Beyonce has been accused of directly copying a pair of leggings that she was spotted buying last year from designer, E-label. E label have told the Daily Star that they were completely shocked by, what co-owner described the fiasco as a total ‘copy/paste’. Initially Helba Hallgrimsdottir, co-owner of E-label, had thought that the Crazy In Love singer was wearing their leggings in a shoot!

Leggings are clinging on to their catwalk status again this season; spotted on all of the best catwalks around the globe! From opulent lace at Gucci to chunky ribbed wool at Prada and Chloe! Here at Tights Please we have just what you need to make you look catwalk fabulous! Henry Holland Lace Footless Tights are guaranteed to win you major brownie points in the style stakes! Jonathan Aston Velvour Wool Type Leggings can definitely satisfy going for the country trend!

Whatever it is your sure to be a winner in leggings!

It’s been a busy six weeks! Making cakes, days out at the beach, camping in the rain, holidays abroad, friends round for tea…the list is endless! Yes we’ve all tried exceptionally hard to keep boredom at bay for our little ones during their school breaks, but it seems after this weekend’s bank holiday they’re back to school!

For those who have spent far too much time enjoying the sun, sea and sand to even consider the school uniform (and who can blame you?) Tights Please have a selection of all of the best girls school tights that you’ll to send your big and little princesses back to school in!

What Would Your Mama Do…?!

Suspender Tights?! First she was first spotted wearing them on a night, with a ‘good friend’. And this weekend she performed wearing them at V Festival and looked sensational! Clearly Pixie has a Lotta love for the new suspender tights! And who can blame her? They’ve been brought to our attention by one of our favourite London based designers, Henry Holland. His latest collection features exceptionally cool designs that the celebrity club simply can’t get enough of; Sophie Ellis Bextor was also seen looking outrageously cool in his tights last week!

Tights are a great way to match a celebrity trend without breaking the bank. If you’re looking to cause a stir then Henry Holland tights are what you need! Visit our Henry Holland Tights page now and secure yours before Pixie steals the Lott!!!

The LBD, short for Little Black Dress, has been in fashion for decades! It’s the wardrobe staple that no woman can live without, almost like a best friend, it’s there for us in times of desperation (like last minute dates) and when we need to feel fabulous (the planned ones!) Yes the Little Black Dress is a trustworthy, iconic wardrobe staple

Finally the LBD’s loyalty has paid off! Its hard work has been recognised by The Oxford Dictionary of English and the abbreviation LBD was

added to the third addition of the dictionary on Thursday! Congratulation’s LBD!

To celebrate the success, treat your LBD to a style update! What keeps the eldest member of our wardrobe out of the (GASP!) charity shop is because we can easily update it every season with key accessories, and this Autumn/Winter Tights Please has exactly what you need to carry

your favourite item forward!

Gucci married off their LBD’s with lace tights, where as Prada was all about collaborating theirs with thick ribbed wool tights ones! Givency opted for opaque tights including post box red tights, and Mui Mui went cosmetic tights crazy, unable to resist the stunning natural leg look!

You don’t have to choose one look, be fashion fabulous and go for them all! But whatever you do – be quick! This season’s leg wear is not to be overlooked!
