Be noticed with these colourful zigzags from I think House of Holland. A base colour of navy blue with alternating zigzags in primary colours red, yellow and blue. I certainly wouldn’t be missed! An older pair from my pre blog collection with added holes, which with a few hours shopping turned into this,

More chevrons for today’s second post. These are what I wore today, a more wool feel grey, chevron and line pattern pair of tights. A pair from my collection before the blog started so not a brand I can remember. These are soft to the touch, woolly and warm. I’m feeling the cold this week so again they’ve hit the spot and are keeping me cosy.

Like Mount Etna when she’s erupting this pair will keep you toasty. From their “winter collection,” Gabriella hosiery have delivered again. I felt ready for a winter battle when I unwrapped these. They had a reassuring thickness and with a reinforced toe section they meant business. The pattern was more distinct from the back than the front, maybe due to more stretch on that side. A satisfying pair of tights for the cold.

I am wearing today (actually yesterday) this delightful pair of fluffy tights. Kidding you! I was wearing a pair of plain opaque black tights by MeMoi which I was testing the control tops – see previous post. I did say this was a blog about all my patterned tights but I didn’t want to discriminate against this plain black pair! This is why I stay away from non-patterns, the amount of fluff that collects on them and there isn’t a distraction. I end up looking like my shaggy dog, Dennis. As for the control tops, the patterned herringbones from the […]

Thought I’d keep it relatively simple today with this pair of herringbone ladder pattern tights. I needed a well defined pattern running all the way along the length of the leg which wasn’t too busy or complicated to go with my knee high boots and short dress combo today, which is exactly what this pair of hosiery by MeMoi provides. They are soft and comfortable and supposedly control topped, but I’ll let you know how that goes towards the end of the day.

It’s always a pleasure to keep having the great Tom Jones playing in your brain all day.Thanks to these tights for making this possible. The main picture is the back view of this clever bit of hosiery and this is the front, I bought these a couple of years ago from Asos and they are great fun. Shaped pseudostockings, quite original.

My first pair of ombre tights today. Bought from a Chinese supplier in a very catchy fuchsia to purple to navy blue. Comfortable, warm and soft to the touch. I’m wondering if the ombre effect was sufficient or if the colours need to graduate into each other more smoothly. They didn’t squash my toes but they did fall a little and wrinkle. Anticipated a droopy gusset so went to work with a spare pair of knickers on over the tights for that superman look. This did keep the tights up for longer than usual as well as keeping me extra […]

It’s fair to say I’m dotty about hosiery! Five months on and about eighty eight pairs of hoseiry later, I’m still showing you my tights and I’ve still got some to keep showing you. Today’s pair is this polka dot mock sock by Pamela Mann. Kept me warm and eventhough my skirt hid the mock sock, it was fun knowing they were there. My only criticism is that they came in the universal “one size” which meant that they were more like mock stockings than mock socks on me and they were a bit long in the leg which meant […]

Today’s Valentines special are Love Pamela Mann tights and love Pamela Mann everyone should. They have a range of fantastic designs which can be as outgoing as you want to be. This pair “signature love seamed” is exactly what it says on the tin! A black back seamed with the signature “love” and a bow to tie everything up at the bottom. Another perfect addition to a special day going out outfit.
