Spring is finally here. The clocks have now gone forward, bringing with them lighter evenings, there are lambs in the fields, daffodils blooming and chocolate eggs have just left the shelves of every supermarket. All of these things signify the approach of warmer weather, and as nature starts to transform and shed its wintery guise, it’s time for us to do the same. We’re all packing away the winter coats and slowly starting to ditch the jumpers and scarfs, and along with them, those trusty fleece lined leggings and 80 denier tights that have kept you cosy through the winter months are probably also being pushed to the back of the drawers. But even now, with the sun making an occasional appearance here and there, you might not be ready to completely say goodbye to your tights in favour of bare legs. With the emergence of your lighter spring wardrobe you may be looking for some inspiration on how to move on from your thick autumnal coloured hosiery. I for one tend to wear t...
