It has just come to our attention that Pixie paid a visit to her old school, the Italia Conti Academy of Performing Arts, wearing an amazing pair of tights. How we missed such an amazing look we have no idea… but the good news is you can get the exact same look with the super cool Jonathan Aston Wild Tights.
You can dress these tights (which are an absolute bargain at just £12, by the way) up with heels and a mini dress but we just LOVE the way Pixie has styled hers with flat lace ups and a matching leopard print shirt for a casual daytime look. Teal is leopard print’s best friend -we don’t know why, they just look amazing together- so by adding a splash of colour she really brightens up what could otherwise be an outfit verging on boring.
To match Pixie, get the tights in Black (sheer black with an opaque black leopard print), but if you really want the design to stand out go for contrasting nude with black pattern.
If these aren’t quite what you were after, take a look at the entire collection of animal print tights to find your perfect partner!
The Saturdays are one of our favourite girlbands ever, so imagine our excitement when they decided to wear the super cool Pamela Mann fishnet tights supplied by MyTights.com on their sellout tour! Fishnets have come a long way over the last few years – relegated to the back of our wardrobes for being too trashy and/or the sole preserve of high kicking jazz dancers, they’ve emerged again in recent months, with Kate Moss appearing at the British fashion awards in a fishnet dress in November and Cara Delevigne sporting fishnet tights on the Oscar de la Renta Autumn/Winter catwalk last month.
Nude fishnets are the way forward for working this look for the spring. They’ll look perfect with your pastels, and other celebs are getting in on the trend, too – we spied Zooey Deschanel two days ago at a New Girl press event wearing nude fishnets with her sweet summer dress. Fishnets are ideal for the warmer weather as they give your legs a bit of coverage but allow you to keep cool, too.
The Saturdays prove that nude fishnets are the perfect with other upcoming trends, too. Rochelle paired hers with neon pink for a sports luxe look, while Una worked the season’s hottest (and most challenging) colour combo – orange and purple. Meanwhile, Vanessa and Mollie teamed theirs with sparkling silver sequins in a subtle nod to the aquatic trend as seen on the Chanel SS12 catwalk.
And the best news of all? You can get these exact Pamela Mann fishnets for a teeny tiny £5! If nude is a bit too subtle for your liking, they come in a huge range of colours including some summery pastel shades that will perk up your plain sundresses. Or for something more outlandish, from seamed styles to cute mesh anklets, take a look at the entire range of fishnets. After all, as they say, there are plenty more fish in the sea…
Has anyone else noticed that Rihanna has been making some brilliant hosiery choices lately? Her Jonathan Aston Tights and Henry Holland Super Suspender Tights have been selling fast since she was pictured in them a few weeks ago. But what about the basics? Well we have it on good authority that, for her performance at the Grammy’s last week, Rihanna was wearing Falke Pure Matte 50 Tights.
Sometimes you want your tights to be the centre of attention but other times you just want them to do their job and not get in the way of yours. Falke’s Pure Matte 50 Tights, feel beautifully soft and offer amazing quality and fit. If you are an international pop star with a reputation for energetic and raunchy dance routines like our RiRi, Falke tights are where you turn when you need good opaques.
Falke tights feel beautiful when you slip them on but once that’s done you won’t need to think about them until you take them off at the end of the day. Because they come in such a wide selection of sizes you can be sure of getting the one that is just right for you. I bet Rihanna high kicks and shimmies with extra confidence knowing that her tights won’t budge no matter what she gets up to on stage.
Falke tights are also made from high quality yarns which make them that bit more durable. When you are rocking out on stage you want to know your tights are not going to let you down. With quick costume changes and sexy dance lifts to contend with Rihanna can’t afford to hold back for fear of laddering her tights.
You don’t need to be rocking out on stage like Rihanna to appreciate the brilliance of Falke. When you need a great fit and feel from your tights you can’t go wrong with Falke’s amazing range of sheer and opaque tights. Sure they are a little more expensive than other brands but their high quality yarns tend to be more durable so if you consider cost per wear then they may even work out the same in the long run. Check out the full range of Falke tights and socks in the brand section of our website.
If you are a UK celeb you’ve probably had a pretty busy week. London Fashion week has been in full swing. Then of course there were the Brit awards last night and that always promises an eventful evening.
If you were checking out the Brits red carpet pictures you might have noticed X Factor winners Little Mix in an eclectic ensemble that included a pair of Trasparenze Monique Ankle Socks supplied by MyTights.com. Jade Thirlwell teamed her sweet shorts and blazer look with a pair of our Monique ankle socks in white.
Jade has clearly got her finger on the fashion pulse as ankle socks are set to be one of the biggest trends for this spring summer. They’ve given a sweet and girly touch to Jade’s slightly androgynous look. Avoid looking school girly by combining your ankle socks with platform heels and tailored shorts and a jacket like Jade.
Little Mix girls, if you are reading this don’t forget our Trasparenze Monique Ankle Socks also come in a wide range of colours so there should be something to suit Perrie, Jesy and Leigh-Anne too.
Our favourite hosiery queen was on the Jonathan Ross show this week, flaunting those pins in another Henry Holland creation. So which pair of legendary Jessie J Tights were on display this time? The I’m Laddered, of course – which seem to be rapidly becoming her favourites. She’s been spotted wearing them so many times we’ve lost count – with everything from sailor caps to sequin basques and even in the video for her latest single, Domino.
For the Jonathan Ross show she teamed them with black boots, denim cut offs, a midriff-baring black t-shirt and heavy duty golf chain. Happily chatting to Jonathan about her success, she expressed her sympathy for fellow songstress Adele, who has been off the radar since undergoing vocal chord surgery last year.
We just about managed to drag our eyes away from David Beckham, who was also a guest on the show, to watch Jessie in an awesome performance of Domino at the end of the show, where she showed off her tights to their maximum advantage.
Get the look and snap up a pair of the Henry Holland I’m Laddered Tights for just £12 while stocks last, or browse the rest of our range of fashion tights for statement legs just like Jessie!
Our founder Laura met the lovely Henry Holland last week at the Pretty Polly AW12 Preview Party at the Pretty Polly Pop Up Store in Covent Garden. Sporting the Henry Holland Alphabet Silver Tights, which she teamed with a bright colour pop dress, Laura thinks that the fashion is fab and she can’t wait to wear it!
With top designers like Henry Holland working for them as well as Jessie J as the face of the brand (not to mention the numerous other celebs that have been spotted in Pretty Polly designs), Pretty Polly are flying high at the moment and there’s no better (or less expensive!) way to get your hands on a slice of designer fashion for your wardrobe.
Copy Katherine Heigl and team the Pretty Polly Nylons Back Seam Tights with chic basics, or get Caggie from Made in Chelsea’s style with the Henry Holland Super Suspender Tights paired with slouchy casual pieces and bedhead hair. Or go for a look just like Laura’s and team bright colours with statement tights – choose pieces with simple cuts and textures to make your legs the centre of attention!
Dione Bromfield (singer and goddaughter of Amy Winehouse) and Jade Thirlwall from Little Mix have both been spotted out and about recently in a twist on the classic suspender tights. Both girls stepped out in tights which were opaque to just above the knee and then gave way to sheer hosiery, with a pretty line of opaque hearts around the top of the opaque leg – perfect with Valentine’s day just around the corner! You can get the look with the Pamela Mann Large Overknee Heart Tights (pictured), a snip at just £7.99!
Both girls are no stranger to exciting and unique hosiery – Jade stepped out in customised Little Mix Henry Holland tights just before her and the rest of the band won the X Factor, while Dionne has been spotted in suspender tights and polka dots among others.
Jade wore hers to the Tickled Pink Girls’ Night Out gig and teamed them with black shorts, and a zip up jumper over a black shirt with a pink tie – see her look here. Coincidentally, Dionne also performed at the gig and plumped for the classic suspender tights design. However, the singer must have recognised Jade’s tights as she had worn them already – to switch on the Christmas lights at the Brunswick at the end of November.
Dionne dressed hers up with a black prom style dress but added an edge with some heavy duty black army boots. A slick of pillar box red lipstick completed the look that earned her a nod of approval from the fashion elite including Vogue Italia, who named it their “Look of the Day” (see it here). But Jade isn’t without her fair share of admirers, with designer Henry Holland counted among the bands biggest supporters.
So who do you think wore it best? Do you like Dionne’s Punk Princess take or is Jade’s urban cool more your thing? Tell us on Facebook or Twitter!
Society Heiress Paris Hilton has been spotted in LA working the trend for suspender tights in the Henry Holland Mesh Suspender Tights (see the photo here). Despite being the heiress to an estimated $20 million fortune, she shows us that fashion doesn’t have to be expensive with the £12 tights. Paris teamed her hosiery with an unusually understated and demure (for her) combo of a black dress, gilet and heels.
The mesh version of Henry Holland’s bestselling Super Suspender Tights work perfectly if you want to try the trend for suspender tights but are worried about looking like you’ve come out in your underwear, as the mesh, which from a distance just looks like sheer hosiery, lends the design a subtler look. They are perfect for everyday wear too, because the mesh at the top makes them more difficult to ladder.
Paris is just the latest in a long list of stars to tap into the suspender tights trend, including Saturdays star Frankie Sandford and pop sensation Rihanna. With a line up like that, it’s hardly surprising that the design has been honoured by other hosiery designers who have created variations featuring hearts and pearls – check out our full suspender tights range and pick your favourite!
Try rocking your suspender tights with simple basics like Paris has – it’s too cold for bare arms this side of the pond at the moment, plus we’re not entirely convinced by the furry gilet if we’re honest (and yes, we KNOW it was on the AW Gucci catwalk). Try an all black look like Paris with a skater style black dress and leather jacket, or if you want to add a splash of colour keep lines clean with shift dresses and tailored cocktail shorts.
If you’re anything like us, you’ll be feeling the shame of your Christmas eating binge whilst simultaneously turning green eyed over pictured of celebs who should KNOW BETTER than to flaunt their perfect bodies in front of us at such a vulnerable time. So hurrah for Kristen Stewart, who let us catch a glimpse of her figure fixing Spanx not once, but TWICE in one day back in November.
It just goes to show that no matter how slim, beautiful and successful you are, body insecurities just don’t go away (not even if you have a boyfriend as hot as Robert Pattinson). And although we’re betting that Kristen was red-faced about flashing her slimming secret (first at the Grauman’s Theatre where she was taking part in the hand and foot prints ceremony with Robert and Taylor Lautner, then later on the Jay Leno Show), the fact is that almost all of the celebs wear them for extra slimming and an elegant streamlined figure.
Kristen looks like she’s wearing a shorts shapewear product such as the Spanx Undie-tectable High-Waisted Mid Thigh Shaper. By getting something that extends right the way up to your bra line, you can pretty much eliminate the possibility of telltale lines under your clothing – or alternatively choose a seamless product for a similar effect.
If you’re struggling with the extra pounds that Christmas can bring, why not try a shapewear product from the new ShaToBu Get Fit Range, which is shapewear featuring inbuilt resistance band technology that means you actually burn more calories when going about your everyday life with no extra effort!
Oh, and FYI, Kristen… most shapewear products come in nude shades which are perfect for blending in a bit better if you’re wearing a shorter dress, or else try a briefs product rather than shorts, which will be no more visible than normal underwear, no matter how short your hemline is!
The new Jessie J single, Domino, has already reached number 7 in the midweek iTunes charts and is AMAZING! The video is equally brilliant, with tons of Jessie’s trademark cool and an eye catching array of outfits. From Goth style studded lips to acid bright colours, there’s no trend too out there for Jessie. She also wears her favourite I’m Laddered Tights, with mock hold up top, backseam and witty “I’m Laddered” motif which she’s been spotted in all over the place recently, plus we catch a glimpse of her in the super cool Mock Fishnet Suspender Tights, which feature the uber-trendy mock suspender top and mesh panelling at the top of the thigh which looks like sheer hosiery from a distance.Both of these styles are from the hugely talented Brit designer Henry Hollandin collaboration with hosiery legends Pretty Polly, and are available at MyTights.com for less than the price of a pub lunch.
Watch the video and let us know what you think – is Jessie the Queen of Cool?
