Make A Bold Fashion Statement With Coloured Tights

What’s your favourite colour? Go on. I’ll bet there’s one particular colour you wear more than any other. And sometimes people don’t consciously realise it until you point it out to them.

A close friend of mine has a drawer full of tights in every colour of the rainbow – and then some. And that’s all because her favourite colour is black. Is black a colour? It didn’t used to be when I was at school. But I digress . . .

And the main reason my friend Bex adores her ‘loud’ coloured tights is because they all go a treat teamed with black. They look terrific with her fave LBD, her black stripy skirt suit, her black leather mini (ultra mini), her black cut-down jeans . . . well, I’m sure you get the picture.

But what gets all the attention when Bex goes out? Her coloured tights of course. People are always commenting on how great Bex looks in her bright, bold tights, (plus her trademark black uniform, naturally). And asking her for fashion advice. And staring at her legs. Men in particular, tend to do this quite a lot I’ve noticed. The staring, I mean . . .



So what is Bex’s favourite colour? After black of course. Well Bex adores her fluorescent pink tights and the flo green ones – oh and the flo yellow – and there again, she loves her deep red cable tights and the pink spotted ones. Bex makes special mention of the purple ones for when she’s in one of her ‘woman of mystery’ moods. I think Bex has a special colour pair of tights to match all her moods.

Given enough time and the inclination and Bex is highly likely to run you through her entire tights collection . . . in minute detail. Best not to ask really.

As if her collection wasn’t already big enough to open her own emporium, Bex tells me she’s just been online and snapped up a pair of the Carnaby 60s Retro Tights. This woman needs professional help.

If, like my mate Bex, you can’t resist the calling of coloured tights, and you’d like to get asked for your fashion tips by envious women, or chatted up by men on the pretext of asking for fashion tips for their sisters, why not take a peek at the latest tights collections online – in all the biggest and boldest colours imaginable. Then you can get out there and make your own (bold) fashion statement.
