Like these Urban Outfitters Sheer Hearts Tights ($14); they're the opposite of shy, a great way to show your sassy sweet side. Enter for more ways to spice up your legs.

Trend Alert: Heart Print Tights

FabSugarUK — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 07:00:22 -0800

One of the few things I enjoy about the cooler months is being able to wear super cool tights! Avid readers of FabSugar UK will know that I am not adverse to wearing bright colours and love to make a statement with my legs. Heart print tights are top of my wishlist right now, and I particularly love this big graphic print pair (£10) from Topshop.

There are more subtle styles like Urban Outfitter's sheer ones (£10). Will you be wearing heart print tights this Winter?

Tights For Boys: Ga Ga or Gag?

Mommies wouldn't balk at the sight of tights in the girls' section but what if she saw them hanging near the boxers and briefs? Ladies enjoy the comfort and warmth they provide so why shouldn't their male counterparts? In the Victorian era, men wore tights regularly just like their lady friends. Perhaps in an effort to bring a blast from the past, the Swedish clothes manufacturer H&M is bringing tights back in a whole new way.

The $12 pair of navy car adorned stockings may have some mums and pops looking confused or horrified. Still some may find them practical and brilliant.

What's your take on them?

Trend Alert: Patterned Tights

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

I've heard friends say they're one of those things that are fun in theory, but dicey in reality. And don't plain black tights seem so . . . boring? Exhibit A: Diane Kruger at the ELLE Women in Hollywood awards. Even though her Balenciaga dress had a marbelized print, she opted for Swiss dot hose and a hot pink clutch. Sometimes more is more, and that means you shouldn't hesitate to whip out those striped, dotted, or zigzag tights you've been jonesing to wear. Patterned tights add depth, texture, and spunk to any ensemble.

Freaky or Fabulous: String Lace Tights

It's all about legs this Autumn as tights become an integral part of your wardrobe. As well as bright colours and funky patterns, there are interesting details like the laced together style of this pair at Topshop (£12). Do you think they're freaky, or fabulous?

Style for Style: House of Holland Tights

FabSugarUK — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 06:30:21 -0700

One of the things I admire about Henry Holland is that his collections always have a theme. He blatantly dedicates an entire range to one central point and runs wild with it. Who can forget the tartan of Autumn '08, the florals of Spring '09 or the pantone colour blocking of Autumn '09? It's the latter which has inspired this collaboration with Pretty Polly tights. It's an obvious move for House of Holland, which has previously joined forces with Levis and Kickers. When I heard about this latest venture, I couldn't wait to get my hands on a pair and they did not dissapoint!

To hear my tips on how to wear these tights, just read more.

The colour block legwear are available in a range of colours including black, blue and lilac all retailing for £10 each. They will be available from John Lewis, Debenhams and River Island from September. The lilac pair were very attention grabbing so I tried to keep everything else simple teaming them with black and grey, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy they were to dress up. I particularly loved them with denim shorts which created a cool daytime look. I think they look best with heels, but a flat ankle boot would work too.

What do you think of these looks? If you've been rocking some funky tights recently, why not show me how you wear them?
