Sequins And Opaques – The Trend That Keeps On Giving

 

Here at UK Tights, we are very keen on spotting new and exciting trends. This isn’t easy, of course, because fashion is ever-changing and evolving. What people might love today might become something less interesting tomorrow. But we have spotted one fashion trend that is emerging that we are absolutely confident will be around for quite a while: sequin dresses and opaque tights.

This is not necessarily a new combination, but it has also not been one that has really had its day or seen its full form either. But with winter coming up and the weather getting chillier, women want to wear their opaque tights, and the natural choice for something to pair with them is a sequin skirt or sequin dress. Why exactly, though? What is so appealing about this particular combination?

Why The Big Change In Women’s Fashion?

Shiny tights and sequin tights have always been super popular, so if you want something eye-catching, shiny and shimmering in your legwear, you have two choices: lurex tights or glossy tights.

Glossy tights are really lovely to wear and very feminine, but they are usually only available in sheers. This makes them great for adding a dose of femininity and eye-catching sexiness to your outfit, but sheers are not so great for winter.

Lurex tights are also a wonderful material for parties and for making any head-turning outfit you can think of. But it also has one major drawback. Namely, some people find lurex a tad uncomfortable. After all, lurex is a metallic-like fibre that is woven into the nylon or cotton or wool to add a glitter effect. Most lurex tights are gorgeous, but those with very sensitive skin might not get along with them.

Why Are Sparkly Or Sequin Dresses And Opaque Tights The Answer?

So what is the solution to all of this? Well, it’s the sequins and tights combination that has come to the rescue. By pairing sequin tops and tights or dresses with sequins and opaque tights, you can get the warmth that you need for winter. You can also get the beauty of something shiny and glittery and gorgeously chic too.

You can wear sequins on your dress and keep your opaque tights plain. This way, you will keep your legs much comfier. A great thing to do considering they move around a lot more than much of your body and a metallic fabric might be too irritating for you. You can even maximize the glittery look of the sequins by having them front and centre, whilst the opaque winter tights are there to keep you warm and make sure your outfit isn’t too overpowering with its shine.

And what’s more, it is super festive. The thick woolly tights are a great option for winter outfits, and a sparkly top is always a festive favourite.

If you love lurex, then we have got plenty of items that you will adore too. But if you are thinking of an alternative but still want the same gorgeous, eye-catching look, then the sequin and the opaque combo is just what you need.

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...
