Blossom’s Colored Tights
When I started seeing the girls on the subway wearing bold colored tights, I was immediately transported back to my younger days of watching Blossom on TV. Remember that opening sequence in the television show where she was wearing those red opaque tights and the tie skirt? Yeah, that’s what I thought of.
I have not really been a proponent of bringing the late 80s and early 90s fashions back to modern day. I was never a fan of acid wash and I really hated stirrup pants (basically footless tights with a strap that went under your foot.) But colored tights are something I think I can wrap my head around. That is, if I have the proper guidance of course.
Wearing colored tights is more akin to ridiculously colored accessories than a clothing piece. They need to be coordinated with your outfit and accentuate great areas of your body not distract from that super cute top. So here is just one tip for wearing (and rocking!) a great pair of colored tights.
This one is the most important rule: always wear something over your tights. A skirt is always cute, even jeans are adorable, but don’t think you can get away with wearing only your tights. They’re not that attractive on their own. Think back to what I said about them being an accessory. Would you walk out of your home with only a bracelet on? I think not. I’m always tempted to softly whisper to the girls wearing only tights on the subway with a too-short tunic “Excuse me, I hate to point this out in public, but you forgot to put on pants today.”
Keep this in mind and you could be as long lasting in fashion as that great tie skirt sequence in Blossom!
