Ten reasons why tights are not on the way DOWN

Not literally - in terms of being "in"

According to the Guardian:

"Tights (are on the way down) Bare legs – ignoring the goosepimples – are the A-list way to wear skirts this party season. Spend the money you usually spend on hosiery on cab fares."

In support of the Guardian's point, here is Katie Holmes at a Jingle Ball with bare legs

 Here are 10 reasons not to take the Guardian seriously

1. Not all celebs are going bare legged.

Here is errrrrm - from the Sugarbabes - maybe at one time - OK point taken - not at A-lister.

Even Katie Holmes has been in tights recently - and they had old fashioned reinforced toes!

2. Don't be influenced by celebs

Perhaps your mates are in tights

Perhaps they think you should be in tights too!

3. It could be very cold without tights

4. You might get sick
Imagine catching a cold due to lack of tights and not being able to go out for days.

Even worse she might be treating you!

5. Do you want to wait for a taxi?
In the cold - extra cold in fact - because you'll need your tights money for the cab fair.

Waiting in the cold and dark when the cab doesn't show - lucky she remembered her tights

If you can afford a taxi, you can probably afford tights too

6. You can match your tights with your shoes
Bare legs can't be matched in the same way

7. You can match your tights with your dress

Or not

Or you can match your tights with your shoes and dress or not....

8. You miss out on the fun of patterned tights

9. Without tights on you can't kick your shoes off and dance in your stocking feet
(Yes it is difficult to find ten reasons).  You don't want to be dancing on the cold floor in bare feet do you?  (OK you could also get stocking feet with, well, stockings)

10. You'd miss the sexiness of tights

Nuff said

Who has taken the A-list way?  And who is not freezing cold?
