Well done to Lucy Elliot who has just bagged herself a complete set of Henry Holland’s Spring Summer designs after she won the MyTights.com Facebook competition on Friday! She showed us she let her playful “Wanna Party” House of Holland Tights do the talking by styling them with patent black heels and simple accessories. Lucy might have got the most “likes” for her outfit on our Facebook page but I thought there were a few girls who also deserved a mention.

Suspender Tights featured heavily in the competition Marla Magante also went for an all black outfit to showcase those mock suspender straps. Take a leaf out of her book and wear heels the same colour as your tights to make your legs look longer. Diana Passy also chose Suspender Tights (this time by House of Holland). Those cute Mary Janes are the perfect way to offset the raunchiness of the suspender tights. Gorgeous.

Special mention to Ngoc H Le and her eclectic style. Mixing so many different prints is tricky but this girl looks so cute she carried it off with aplomb. I love these kooky tights. Are they Celeste Stein we wonder?

Of course it is no surprise to us to find out we have such stylish customers! The competition might be over but we love seeing pictures of your outfits so please don’t stop posting pictures of your favourite looks on our Facebook page.

As we mentioned in our last post, we searched the streets of London for people with great style that incorporated tights or socks. We wanted to show you 4 more of the lovely people we photographed! Two of them were wearing sheer tights with details, such as sheer with hearts, and sheer with spots. Sheer patterned tights look great with an LBD, or even with everyday work wear or casual wear!

Another common trend we saw a lot of was the use of ankle socks, worn both over and under leggings or tights.  Ankle socks look great when work under leggings with a pair of brogues or new style loafers, or you can wear them over a pair of tights with high waisted shorts or skirt.

Bright tights have been predicted to be huge this coming S/S, and we spotted a great pair of bright blue tights on the stylish lady below! Coloured tights are certain to brighten up your day, as well as brighten up the days of others who pass you by! How lovely.

View all the pictures on our facebook fan page. If you think you have great style and love incorporating tights or socks into your outfits, then upload your pics to our facebook album or email them to latisha@mytights.com.

So this week, we decided to take to the streets of London and harass people for pictures! We love seeing how you’ve put outfits together involving tights and socks!

Last season and this coming season, layering with tights and socks is huge – and we completely understand why. Ripped tights have also become a ‘thing’, and they look great with the punky/grungy look, or even as part of the dishevelled Shoreditch scene look. However, ripping your own tights can be a pain- especially when it means ruining a perfectly good pair and the laddering goes a bit too far! Jonathan Aston and Pretty Polly however, have come up with ingenious tights that already have that ripped-look effect. One of the girls pictured below has worn some ripped tights with black knee high socks and a gorgeous camel coat. Fabulous look.

Sexy look tights are also big, with suspender tights being spotted on most fashionista’s legs at the moment. However, back seam tights are also popular and a more understated option. But if you really want to make a statement, why not try lace-up look tights, such as our Wolford Artiste pair. They’re on the more pricey side, however, they’re a long lasting investment that will be the main feature of any outfit! Take a look at the girl photographed below for inspiration, she has a pair of lovely Wolford lookalikes on, and she really stood out in the high street crowd.

If you love the slightly more grungy/rock look like the lovely Charlene of www.struttlamode.blogspot.com then we have plenty of products to suit your taste!

Charlene seems to love very sheer black tights which add to her sexy, chic, and slightly gothic style. They bring old school glamour to any outfit.

An outfit of hers below (with the peach dress) screams 50’s chic but with a slight indie, teddy-boy twist, and her gorgeous lacy-look ankle socks complete the look. We have some great Jonathan Aston lace ankle socks that are a fab option!

Suspender tights are still huge and they’ll be sticking around for a while yet! Charlene rocks some utterly excellent Henry Holland gems, which we stock here at MyTights. So if you haven’t got yours yet, you better hurry up before it’s too late!

It’s not all just about knee high or ankle socks, mid-calf socks get a look in too! You know what they say… the ‘middle’ is a great place to be, so go mid-way and have a look at our range of socks that are a great alternative to full-ons or ankle skimmers, Charlene, as seen below, seems to be a fan! And quite rightly too.
