Two weekends ago I went to Edinburgh and bought seven pairs of tights at Topshop. Seven. I know that’s excessive, but you know when you can’t find a particular thing you’re desperately searching for, and instead you just get everything close to it that’s sort of similar in hopes that it will satisfy you? Well these are the tights I was lusting after:
Knitted tights (especially loose knitted tights) are such a sweet alternative to the black ones we so often turn to. Topshop has some right now (but not in that deliciously Christmasy berry color) and so does Free People (the cost to ship them from the States is entirely worth it – their knit tights are chunky and warm enough to almost double as leggings). White or cream knit tights (and stockings – La Boutique might have a few pairs left) can almost be an innocent interpretation of fishnets, if the knit itself is loose enough to show some skin.
