Latest Pattern Pantyhose

Are you so ashamed of your tights that you want to hide your face?

Well take a look at these ultra funky tights from etsy.  Now I don't suggest that you have to buy these tights, but they show what cool designs are available.  Have a look in your local tights store, department store or on the web.

Lily of Ankle

These 'Lily of the Ankle' tights (Etsy, $39), for example, would look great with a little black dress - and they're certainly not too over-the-top.

Lily of the ankle is a non symmetrical design.  The lilies climb up your ankles to different heights but do so on both your legs. These tights are very seductive.  They make the person looking at the pattern wonder how far up the leg the Lily will climb..? All of Gal Stern tights are made with a very high quality threads. They feel like silk on your skin. You can spend your entire day in these, feeling sexy, feminine and most importantly, comfortable!
Similar - but not the same

Actually not that similar at all.   Not so much a single lily as shrubbery on your leg!

Ballerina Tattoo Tights

Careful viewers will see the subtle toe seam

These Ballerina Tattoo Tights (Etsy, $60) will certainly turn many heads ... and glam up a boring outfit to boot.

LIMITED EDITION - 50 denier Opaque tattoo embellished tights.  These  50 denier tights are really one of a kind! Sexy, bright and distinctive for the winter months.  Combines light lavender colour with a dramatic jet black cross over ribbon that is fixed at the centre back of your thigh and ties up freely around your leg.  The feet are covered with dazzling heat fixed crystal black rhinestones.   Perfect for a partying. 

(Almost) my favourite!

If you cannot get cross-over ribbon on your tights, get it on your shoes.

Maple Leaf Dyed Merino Wool Tights Leggings

Maple-leaf-dyed merino wool tights (Etsy, $70).  These merino wool leggings are dyed with Maple leaf and Eucalyptus. The print is from the leaf itself extracted with the heating of the garment, not ink or paint. Beautiful rich purples and greys ranging from light to dark give you a stunning pair of legs  Fine knit merino wool is made to wear against the skin with no itch.  Great for layering and multi seasonal wear as wool breathes.  Wool is naturally antibacterial and absorbs moisture whilst allowing your skin to breath at the same time, which means that you can wear your clothing much longer before it gets stinky and needs a wash.

For all these good points, these tights are not my style.  I really like feet in my tights to keep my tootsies warm and cushion them in my shoes.  Personally I don't like to have to wear tights and socks.  After boogieing all night even wool will be smelly.  Making patterns from real leaves seems over the top, perfectly good patterns can be made in nylon.  This is the 21st century.  I prefer these:

Zipper Tights

Something totally different: a pair of Zipper Tights (Etsy, $22)

These tights will not just turn some heads they will knock over every guy in the room!  If you always wanted tattoo but don't like the idea that it stays forever; these amazing tights will be perfect for you, they create the feeling that you have tattoo on your leg, and lets be honest - an  awesome one.

There is nothing like these tights anywhere else - the ones below have almost a zippy pattern but not quite - nevertheless they are having the desired effect on the guy!

But I must say that as cool as these funky zipper tights are, tattoo tights aren't a tattoo.  The guy may be disappointed if the tattoo is not there when you get your kit off!  A tattoo is more of a statement that tattoo tights, a tattoo says I'm a hard bitch and I do what I like with my body.  If you want a tattoo get one, then tease the guys by showing it under some nice sheer tights.

Sequined Tights

Regulars will spot the sheer toes and subtle toe theme

Sequined tights (Etsy, $56) would be perfect for New Year's Eve ...

Hand embellished with a tattoo made of rhinestones and sequins on 50 Denier tights. Utterly decadent! These tights are one of a kind!   They are sexy, bright and distinctive.

Similar but not the same

I like the stocking effect on these.

Pre-ripped
Also available on line are pre-ribbed tights.  Excuse me?  Isn't it cheaper to rib your own? Or better still get a friend to rip them while having a new year snog.

Finally my favourite
Although I didn't recommend for Christmas dinner, I think these big spots would be great for new year parties.  With their reinforced toes and worn with platformed sandals, these tights give a fun retro feel.  Should be available on line.
