Dress and Tights: The Eternal Winter Dilemma

Dress and tightsPairing dress and tights is probably one of the most difficult autumn / winter dilemmas to manage for girls and women (fashionable women in general) in reference to clothes. In winter, the problem is more recurrent as the years go on, especially after some show women have openly declared saying 'no' to wearing tights. Too bad that the mere mortals have to contend with cold and not with the lights of a TV studio, as it happens to celebrities. What are the benefits of wearing the tights in the winter? And what are their disadvantages? How to choose the right stockings and tights for Fall wear or for any occasion? How to solve the dilemma between dress and tights? Let us briefly examine the various points:

Dress and tights are  garments often used by women and,  some TV programs do not sponsor hosiery, while in others  do and this has  influenced the fashion of tights over the years. In the famous series Sex and the City Carrie and company never wear tights, and because the clothes they wear will not fit at all well, and because in the Big Apple where the serial is set anything goes and no one will ever notice that you have not worn hosiery despite the temperature is below freezing! On the other hand, the female protagonists of  Gossip Girl seem to love donning dress and tights, especially lace, making their outfits fashionable to girls from every corner of the planet.

Dress and Tights
The choice of wearing dress and tights also depends on the event we are going to; whether it is a business meeting it is natural to think that the dress should be accompanied by a nice pair of opaque tights, or at least lace tights. If you were going to a gala instead it would be advisable not to wear stockings and opt for the open-toe high-heel sandals. An elegant gown made of a lightweight fabric will and will not stand well with tights, whatever type it is.

Opaque black tights are one of my winter wardrobe staples which I usually wear with a gray skirt and black shoes

You can show off your great tights and stockings when you know how to pair them with a thousand different skirts. tights-and-shorts have their positive points, too. I love wearing cute shorts with tights hopefully for a few more months without freezing to death.

With care putting them on I can manage to wear tights without a run problem. The first wearing is the trickiest and I usually dampen my fingers to ease them on the first time. They are never 'itchy' and provide great leg support all day. The reinforced toe lessens the dreaded toe holes. The problem overall is when you have problems with cellulite, you are forced to wear slacks or long dresses with your hosiery limiting your choice of outfit,
