i absolutely love colored tights!
so far i just got them in teal and purple, i really want a red pair though and some other colors

[longlegsue]

Yes! I love this. My favorite pair to wear are my burgendy ones, but I'm looking to get some more unexpected & bold colors. .

here is me doing this....
my way...



*might be kind of hard to see because it's so dark-
but the first is a thick braided rib in burgundy/cinnamon colour and the second is a semi opaque teal...
might be easier to see if you enlarge..

Ooo lilac ! I'd personally love some the shade of purple used at Commes Des Garcons but er..they were just socks so here is some John Galliano.

ps. All the shades of blue at Alexander McQueen =

I like tights because they're democractic more accessible as a trend and easier to work into an outfit.

another quirky color combo. it seems like tights invite some wild color combinations.

i prefer duskier hues for tights. although i do have a pair of bright pink ribbed tights that i pull out once in awhile. i get a lot of up-down looks when i do. not always in approval.

but i think that's the thing about colored tights. they seem wild, even when an outfit is pretty demure.

soft, you look great in your tights. i think teal and burgundy are two of the best of the offbeat colors. they seem neutral, with a kick.

oh, and one more. i've saved a lot of these images without really knowing why i'm drawn to them.

I love the tights with the open shoes. so subtle and gorgeous with that dress.

Oh my gosh, both the examples from Sartorialist and Fashionista are immense. I love this trend - colored tights are an instant way to make an outfit pop.

because the tights are NOT a colour and the shoes are not open.......
