Pastels And Berries, An Unlikely Friendship

Colours are a huge part of the fashion experience and something we love to explore here at UK Tights. Coloured tights are some of the absolute best in the world of legwear for adding depth and beauty to any outfit They are the easiest way to bring something new to your wardrobe. But the perennial question is always the same. What colours should I get?

Here are a few tips on how to choose a few shades this winter that might make combining your outfits easier. We could give you a list of great winter colours and festive favourites. But we have one particular tip in mind that is a bit more original. Pastels and berry shades combined.

Combining pastel shades and berry colours are often seen as clashing, but it really doesn’t have to be. If you pair them together with a careful eye, then you can find something amazing to wear that is very original.

For Spring 2020 pastel shades were all over the catwalks and this included hosiery too. Designers were mixing floral midi skirts in berry shades and contrasting with lilac or pale yellow tights. Tights can help to extend your summer wardrobe into autumn by teaming short skirts and dresses.

But this works for winter wardrobes too. You can get much more mileage out of the same outfits by using the above strategy too. Ever seen warm winter tights in a mulberry red paired with a cream or ivory jumper for Christmas? This is the same tactic!

Try a pair of burnished orange or rich tangerine pair of tights with something much lighter like a cornflower blue, and you will have warmth and subtlety in the same package. Not a berry shade technically. But a dark orange is as rich as any raspberry or pomegranate red, and the combination works just as well.

Or how about a pair of plum tights and a baby blue or baby pink dress for a very feminine outfit that contrasts but never clashes? This is a great way to get a combination of the richest coloured tights that we have ever seen with something more light and refreshing – an exciting combo.

This is a method you can use to make a whole new wardrobe out of your existing outfits and accessories. And trust me it’s one of the most creative things you can do in the world of fashion. Be careful with this method, though. You have to pair something rich with something light and pastel enough that the two are not competing for attention too much. If you execute this with a little extra care and some pairing skill, then you will have some of the most captivating and original outfits of the season.

Denier, The Complete Guide To What It Means For Your Leg Wear

Denier, The Complete Guide To What It Means For Your Leg Wear What is denier and what does it mean? It’s one of the most important measurements in the leg wear world. Only sizing measures are more important and relevant to people. But you still need to know what you are ordering, as it hugely effects your outfit. In short, denier is the weight of the fabric in your tights, stockings and hosiery. That is the simple explanation. But simple explanations are not always full ones. It is often used colloquially for general how thick the tights are on your leg too. But weight and thickness are not necessarily the same thing. So let’s take a closer look to see what this means exactly. The Real Definition Of Denier The confusion over what denier means is understandable. People use it to mean thickness. A high denier item means it is just woolly and thick, right? Not exactly. Technically, the definition is the weight of the fabric. That means something thick and cosy ...

My Favourite Fashion Tights This Christmas

My Favourite Fashion Tights This Christmas Good design is like the imagination. It takes heaps of originality and a new perspective, otherwise it’s just, well, boring . Someone we knew, who had a penchant for thought puzzles, once asked us to imagine a new colour. It’s an impossible task, but it’s not too dissimilar to what we do. Everyday we try to capture, in words, a new pattern, something that wasn’t made to look like anything else around us. We’re supposed to tell you what a colour means and how it weaves its magic on your eyes. It’s even more puzzling for us when Dawn meets one of our agents and picks the most stunning fashion tights available to her. This complicates matters, but at least we have photography like this to help us out. See what we mean? Designs like these are difficult to capture in just words. They’re also quite amazing, and this might well be the last you read from us this year, so we wanted to show you something real...

Happy Halloween!

Guest blogger - Raven Taylor The leaves are turning orange. Suddenly the air is filled with the smell of woodsmoke as the first fires of the year are lit. Shop window displays are full of pumpkins, witches and skeletons. It can only mean one thing- the witching season is here and halloween is just around the corner. Halloween, or Samhain as it was known in the old days, is an ancient festival, dating back hundreds of years. It was traditionally the Celtic new year, and it is said it is the time when the veil between our world and that of the spirits is at its thinnest. It was the last of the three harvest festivals celebrated by old cultures, a time when the last of the animals were slaughtered and their meat stored for winter, and any remaining livestock were brought in from the fields. It was a time when dark nights started to creep in, driving people indoors to huddle around their fires, and with more time spent inside with the night pressing in, it was only nat...
