Get The Ladylike Look.

Friday, August 19th, 2011

Anne Hathaway has praised Kate Middleton’s style today, saying that she’s grateful Kate dresses like a lady. The Duchess of Cambridge, whose style is always under discussion by the media, has recently made sheer tights popular again and no outfit of hers is ever complete without some nude tights or  sheer hold ups.

With Anne Hathaway praising her style choices and loving the ‘ladylike look’, does this mean more A-List stars will be copying the Princess’s style? I wonder if nude tights will be making a more regular appearance on the red carpet…

We at Tights Please certainly always think Kate looks gorgeous, and in particular loved her nautical Alexander McQueen outfit as she visited Birmingham this afternoon.

For an elegant, ladylike look, shop nude tights here! These Pretty Polly Nylons Gloss Tights are a great essential for your wardrobe.

Voldemort Prefers Hold Ups?

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

With the final Harry Potter film whipping up a frenzy of excitement around the world, it only seemed right to dedicate one post to the nation’s favourite wizard…. (well actually, his mortal enemy!)

When speaking at a conference last week, the cast of the new film revealed some on set secrets…

Ralph Fiennes who plays Lord Voldemort apparently had a bit of a problem with tights!

The terrifying character wore some saggy tights under his cloak, which became so annoying that he had to cut them into hold ups at the top! He also revealed that he’d often lift up his robe and tease the cast with his thighs! An image I’d much rather not have in my head right now!  (Voldemort in hold ups?!)

Now if the costume designers had been better prepared with tights, they could have got some great Cette Dublin Tights (£10.50) for Ralph Fiennes in a wide range of colours that Voldemort could definitely work with! They also come in a plus size range which is perfect for men.

Let me know what you think of the new film!

Do You Suffer From Ninkles?

Friday, July 8th, 2011

Shape-conscious ladies out there have now found a new body part to worry about – knees! Having sagging skin above the knees is common among women over 30 and may sound familiar to a few of you? Knee wrinkles or “ninkles” can appear on even the skinniest frames and can’t be avoided!

However, if you are suffering from ninkles, there’s no need to hide your knees away this summer! Here are a few tricks from Tights Please that are cheap and don’t involve surgery that can help you…

Firstly, how about trying some fake tan? Tights Please have a wide selection of St Tropez products. St Tropez Airbrush is great for those first-timers and gives a natural glow to your skin; also perfect for making those saggy knees look firm!

If fake tan isn’t for you, the Skinkiss Caffeine Tights (in a handy 3 pair pack) release microcapsules of caffeine into the thighs, bottom and legs to speed up the metabolic rate of burning fat; these are great for not only helping legs to look slimmer but they actually make them slimmer! With gorgeous pins, no one will be looking at your knees!

As an alternative to tights, these Charnos 24/7 Sheer Hold Ups (2 pair pack) are ideal for wearing with skirts or dresses above the knee and giving a firmer appearance to any unwanted ninkles! Try these this summer in flesh tones for only £6.70!

For other great summer skin products, try the sun shop now!

Show Me How To Burlesque

The Queen of Quirky Tights, Jessie J, stepped out in a pair of ultra cool Pretty Polly style Ribbon Tights. But one pair of super cool tights simply isn’t enough for one night, oh no, Jessie continued the night in a pair of black opaques with tassles decorating her bottom! Cheeky! They’re a bit Lady GaGa if you ask me, but still sensationally cool!

Loving the burlesque style that Jessie J’s rocking? Check out our Burlesque Hosiery page. Jonathan Aston have a fantastic selection inspired by the film Burlesque and Henry Holland’s Tassle Hold Ups are also outrageously stylish for anyone looking to rock the Burlesque trend!

What Will You Be Wearing This Weekend?

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Talk of weekend antics always seems to happen on a Wednesday, usually because it gives us enough time to order an outfit ready for the weekend! Now that it’s starting to get a bit warmer (Highs of 20 Degrees are expected over the weekend!) it’s all about the sheers, hold up’s and ankle socks. Not forgetting the Shapewear which is an essential accessory right now for team Tightsplease!

This weekend …

Gemma will be wearing …

Henry Holland Superstar Tights in Gold, £15.00. Gem’s our vintage vixen, she loves contrasting prints and colours. She plans to wear her Henry Holland Superstar tights with a gorgeous floral print jumpsuit and chunky salmon heels!

Nicola

Nicola’s a sucker for anything that maximises her pins. Our queen of heels is taking it one step further with a pair of Jonathan Aston Vertical Stripe Tights, £12.00. The vertical stripes guarantee to take her legs to another level!

Bex

Minimalistic fashion is what Bex does best. Simple yet effective, she never fails to look anything less than effortlessly classy. This weekend she’ll be setting off her oversized, sheer, navy blue dress with a pair of Wolford Marlene Tights, £28.00. What did I say … effortlessly Chic, at ALL times!

ME!

And I will be wearing … something FABULOUS of course! I’m really loving the dressed down, preppy chic style at the minute. Ditching my heels in favour of Converse (really?!) I’m thinking Henry Holland Fringe Hold Up’s, £15, rolled down (to look like ankle socks) paired with my trusty denim shorts, buttoned up vest and super tanned (think The Only Way Is Essex … OK, not that far) pins!

Hope this has given you some inspiration for this weekend! Fingers crosses we see the sun. Happy Shopping!

Absolute MOMSENse?

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

For those who watch Gossip Girls; you’ll know her as the Blair Waldorf wannabe, but her off-screen counterpart couldn’t be further from the cutesy naive youth that she plays in the fashion fabulous, but incredibly catty, American series.

She arrived at Radio One on Tuesday for an interview with DJ Sara Cox in an incredibly quirky gothic get up! Bleach blonde hair down to her tiny waist, eyes thick with rock star black eyeliner, a zip up corset dress accessorised with this seasons must have item – Jonathan Aston Sweet Rose Hold Ups. She looked sensational in a satanic, gothic, bang on trends kind of way, however, she has caused huge outrage, mainly because she’s only 17. What do you think? Outrageously young, or fabulously expressive?

Black lace was bursting off the Autumn Winter catwalks again this season, and we have a huge selection to choose from on our lace tights page including the Jonathan Aston Sweet Rose Lace  Tights, a slightly less controversial version of the Jonathan Aston Sweet Rose Hold Up’s seen on Momsen. Featured on the cover of two magainzes this month, Lace is not only popular with the us and the catwalks, but the fashion mags love it! They’re going fast! Grab yours quick!
