I love all this legwear. I hope this tights and leggings thing never ends. Too many tights, not enough days to wear them!
ReplyDeletewww.fashionsnag.com
Oh hooray!! Thank you! I am so excited for some goodies from ECBC!!
ReplyDeleteAnd these tights are everything from fabulous to freaky, have to agree with Fashion by He about being careful! I think I'll stick to basic colors this season!
I'm really happy that legwear is not going away... This is a trend I can live with. I hope to acquire some fancier tights and leggings for Fall! LOVED the Rad Hourani show. The leggings dripping with silver are just so dazzling in person. I was lucky enough to see them in the showroom and at the show. I nearly died of bliss.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the L.A.M.B. tights! So lacey and pretty! great picks as always Carrie!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations pretty pink rat!
ReplyDeleteAminaka Wilmont = love. Though I abslutely adore the neutral unobtrusive style of Dennis Basso, as well. So lovely. :)
I love Anna Sui, but I think you need to have perfect legs for them ^.^
ReplyDeletekisses
Ooh-lala. I am always looking for new, knockout legwear. Please count me in!
ReplyDeleteI am positively trembling with excitement. And the chilly fall weather that just walked in the door last week. I so desperately need some new woolly, snugly, warmy stockings!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner!
ReplyDeleteU know, I love tights. I agree with Jacqueline!
XoXo
Lovely post and giveaway dear CC! Those Alexander Wang open back stockings are amazing and so are the transparent and slightly white Marc Jacobs leggings... also, the giveaway is awesome. I love StockingGirl's textured tights!

I'm sticking to patterned, colored tights and plain black leggings this season
ReplyDeleteGreat post as always, CC. I can't get enough of legwear lately...I've been stocking up on tights for fall like mad. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have my usual arsenal of black and solid opaque tights for the chilly season to come, but this post has made me want to include some fancy little prints mixed in as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely patterns!

I like Marchesa designs, but frankly, I am pretty much a classic colours girl... :) What a great job you did on collecting all these images, darling! x
ReplyDeleteI am SO into leggings and tights these days so this post made my day! I am in love with all the unique designs. So fabulous! My favorite: the colorful Ostwald Helgason tights. Soooo beautiful!

Leggings are a great way to make any outfit stand out in a good way. While I love all the leggings featured here, I would say lace leggings are still my favorite~
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like my blog's new look!
amazing! i love how last fall it was all about colored tights (thank you, blair waldorf) and now they just keep getting more and more fun! great post!

I love patterned tights! You picked the best ones too! It'd be hard to choose just 1 pair from StockinGirl, but I think I'd have to go with the Gray Abstract tights - I just love the marbled print!

Sass & Bide KILLED it this season! Want those leggings and the Wang knee socks.
ReplyDeleteSexy, stockingirl!!
ReplyDeleteEspecially, i'm interested in Alexander Wang's short leg wear.
Just like an athletic supporter.
Woah, those ones with cloud prints on them are trippy to say the leeast!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner.
ReplyDeleteI love tights and leggings. I'm taking advantage of wearing them now that I'm on vacation. Back in the tropics, I would definitely be laughed at if I wear them.
I love these cool stockings and leggings!! Congrats to the winner.
ReplyDeletethere are so many interesting leggings and legwear out now. i am just scare if i don't pick the right print, my legs will look short and stubby.

I love the look and can't wait to start layering now that there is a chill in the air!
ReplyDeleteI love any lace leg wear!
ReplyDeleteLove the legwear. Very different. Love all the bright colors. :)
ReplyDeleteI love ripped stockings, they add that trashy yet fun look to it.
ReplyDeleteThough the rest of the collection was a little off, I loved the leg wear at Issey Miyake!
ReplyDeletehot-bots.blogspot.com
Ok. Not everyone can wear these leggings without something covering the bottom. These will look great if worn tastefully.
ReplyDeletehubhop@bellsouth(dot)net
I am so excited by legwear this season (and next)! I really would love a pair of sequined and/or embroidered tights...
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of over the knee socks! I'm still not too sure about the legging trend. I think they would have to be really special for me to try them out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely giveaway!
Oh how I love patterned tights! The tattered leggings are a little too rugged for my taste, but other girls pull them off beautifully! Like any other item of clothing, you have to self aware :)
ReplyDeleteDear CC,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! I have the utmost love for leggings and stockings though the weather in my country rarely permits it! I'm now looking for tights with little hearts on it:)
xx,
Sher
I love the fact that the Marchesa tights look like tatoos!
ReplyDeleteI love those stockings with the first black mini dress.
ReplyDeleteAnd pink stockings are fantastic!
xoxo
we were talking about your blog in intro to fashion journalism class yesterday. :) all good things.
ReplyDeletefabulous and unique leggings!
ReplyDeleteso cute!
http://momfashionworld.blogspot.com/
These are amazing. I love leggings. It's great to see these. Hope your week started off well. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteGreat timing! I've maybe worn stockings/leggings twice before as an adult but earlier this week I rediscovered what a wonderful fashion statement they are! :0)Thanks for paying attention to leggings-they deserve it!
ReplyDeleteA stockings post? You make me so happy! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe black mesh tights with the circular cutouts on the back of the leg are really interesting. I also like the ankle socks with the cutouts over the calves.
Hmmm...I see a pattern here.
Not sure some of these patterns would work on anyone who doesn't have model-thin legs, but I do love bright solid hues for fall (and into spring). In fact, just picked up a pair of violet hose and I love them with black.
ReplyDeletelove those leggings! most of them.
ReplyDeleteI love how your post are so detailed!!
xx
So many great looks here... LAMB is always a favorite for this kind of clothing!
ReplyDeletewow, that jill stuart and marchesa stockings are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI also love the ones from LAMB, great selections CC!
