Getting dressed today I couldn't help but laugh and think of my best friend Brigitte who used to cringe at the thought of wearing tights. She always tried talking me into seeing her side of it- how they were unbearably itchy and made her feel claustrophobic. I wanted to agree with her but back in the day my Mom would never let me out of the house during the cold winter months if I was wearing a dress or skirt to school without having tights on. Even though I tended to like to rebel against her wishes, as most pre-teen girls do, wearing tights was something that never really bothered me since I basically lived in them anyway growing up as a dancer. Not to mention the fact that you couldn't have paid me any amount of money to sport pajama pants under a dress on the way to school just to avoid frost bite like the older high school girls did. My mom always commented on what a bad look that was and this was one of the few things she and I actually agreed on. I was quite pleased with my final decision to pair black Danskin tights under my Current/Elliott boyfriend shorts when I stepped outside this morning. Although the sun is shining, it's rather brisk out there. So here's to you Brig, miss you htb.
Tights are chic, classic, and a huge trend for Fall and Winter- forget the fact that they're actually practical, especially for those of us bearing the cold in the Northeast region. Trekking through the streets that could be easily mistaken for tundras, it's suicide without them. If you're bored with the standard black look, the patterned styles are worth coveting. Right now, I'm loving tights with jean shorts or a sequined mini. They should actually be a requirement with the hemlines they're showing this Fall, so be a doll and keep your Lindsay Lohan to yourself.
