A few decades ago, the question of the appropriateness of tights could not arise in the minds of our women. There are tights, and it's already good. They would be stronger, but more shine for beauty! But with the penetration of the words “stylish”, “trend”, “dress code” and the like into the domestic lexicon, women increasingly began to ask the “pantyhose” question. Which tights are better: black or nude, or maybe you need to go out without them at all? Let's try to figure it out.
Fashion or comfort: what's wrong with pantyhose?
Before figuring out which color to choose, you need to identify situations in which this piece of clothing would be appropriate.
In the average woman's wardrobe concept, the concept of "tights" is a kind of universal, additional thing that no one will pay much attention to. Well, maybe he will, if the arrow crawled … Both under a festive dress and to work - pantyhose are needed everywhere.
Soon, tights began to have not only aesthetic, but also practical significance. Women were offered models with a slightly slimming effect, more or lessmysterious "den", and extremely popular in the nineties lycra.
But our mothers (and possibly younger women) are increasingly wondering why nude pantyhose are bad form? They would be extremely surprised to learn that tights as an element of the wardrobe are given considerable attention at fashion shows. What's more, there are world famous brands that only design tights!
And these same trendsetters decided that wearing tights is completely unfashionable. Even almost invisible bodily tights. Better bare feet everywhere and everywhere. The only exception can be tight tights of different colors that complement the stylish look.
Of course, you need to follow the latest trends and trends in the fashion industry. But still, if you are not a style icon and a role model for many, then it is worth adapting the advice of world catwalks to the realities of our life.
Wear or not?
There are not many situations in which tights are a must:
- Office with a business dress code. A modern business woman, of course, must be fashionable. But at work, the word “business” should remain the key. Therefore, tights are relevant in the office.
- Cold season. Here the key characteristic of a fashionable woman should be common sense. If you put on a dress or skirt in October, then bare legs will look at least strange. As a maximum, an autumn bouquet of diseases is guaranteed to you.
Categorically no version of tights in open shoes looks. Sandals or shoes with a cut-out toe or heel suggest a complete lack of "clothes" on the feet. Nude, black or colored socks or tights are absolutely not appropriate in this situation. Modern manufacturers have come up with special tights for open shoes. They are distinguished by open fingers, and the tights themselves are kept on the leg according to the principle of flip flops: due to the membrane between the first and second fingers. But if you plan to wear sandals, it means that it is not cold outside and you are not going to the office. Therefore, it is better to refuse any pantyhose at all.
Nude palette: how to choose the right tights
If you decide that tights must be worn without fail, you should know a few basic rules for choosing them. To begin with, let's decide that if you are wearing bodily tights, then their task is not to draw additional attention to your legs and pretend that there are no tights on your legs.
To realize this task for your tights, you need to choose the right density, color, texture.
The density of the product is usually marked on the packaging, the unit of measurement is designated den. The larger this value, the denser the tights. Therefore, the more they are visible on the leg. It is advisable to choose nude tights, the density of which does not exceed 20 den.
Special attention should be paid to the choice of color. Shades of corporal tights, at first glance, are hardly distinguishable. However, it is necessarytake your time and choose your very color. It is not difficult to do this: when choosing, it is enough to stretch the tights on your hands. The less the color of the tights will differ from the color of your skin, the better. No need to try to create the effect of tanned legs or choose just the shade you like. In this case, the legs will contrast with the arms and face, and the task of the pantyhose to remain invisible will fail.
Products with lycra
A very important element of tights is the presence of additional threads in them, to put it simply - shine. This notorious lycra fell out of fashion as soon as it entered. In addition, shiny covered legs look visually much fuller. No woman wants this. Shiny tights look completely unnatural and often spoil the whole look.
Transparent haze or matte coal: the secrets of black tights
If nude tights are considered predominantly a business option, then black tights are an evening option, and it is unacceptable to wear them to the office.
Black tights of low density look the most advantageous (optimally up to 20 den). They emphasize the slimness of the legs and visually lengthen them.
When choosing tights for an outfit, do not forget that they should never be darker than shoes. If you have light-colored shoes, then it is better to choose nude tights. What to wear with and whether to choose tight black tights is a delicate question. This type of tights visually emphasizes all the possible shortcomings of the legs, seals them. It is worth giving preference to this type of tights if they harmoniously complement your holistic image.
We won't stand up for the price
The problem of women's tights is known to all: they are able to break suddenly and at the most inopportune moment. In an attempt to make wearing tights more durable and predictable, the fair sex is turning to famous brands and manufacturers with a good reputation. And she, as you know, goes hand in hand with a rather high price.
But practice shows that the principle of good shoes does not work with tights: buy expensive, but one for many years. Tights are a consumable element of the wardrobe, intended as short-lived. Therefore, when buying very expensive branded tights, think: maybe you are paying more for a promoted brand?
It is worth choosing the best combination of price and quality, picking “your” color and model once and sticking to the chosen brand in the future.
Fashion dictates its laws to us every day. To follow it or not is an individual decision. When choosing flesh or black tights, thin or dense, remember: the main thing is comfort, harmony with your vision of beauty and a great sense of self!
