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.
