Guest Blog Snapshot Fashion - Tights, Tights, Tights! No comments yet

Greetings Wishpot readers!

I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Diane and I write for Snapshot Fashion, a blog that concentrates on the latest trends and styles going on around the world. I am happy to have recently become one of the newest Fashion Experts here on Wishpot.

There are a million trends going on this fall, from western boots to leather minis. But the one trend that never goes out of style and that I absolutely love to wear is TIGHTS. I already started wearing them this season…and actually went shopping for even more this afternoon. Wearing tights can add so much to an outfit. They really make a great accessory.

There are three types of tights that I feel everyone should own.

1)    Colorful and opaque- You can make any outfit more fun with a pop of color. If you don’t have a cool necklace or scarf to wear no worries. Use your legs as your accessory! Tights that are colorful and opaque are all you need to look stylish and amazing.

2)    Patterned- Now patterns can get a little wild. Keeping them simple would be best. A simple checkered pattern, houndstooth, or stripe will really go a long way. It will keep your outfit interesting without becoming too overwhelming.

3)    Lace or fishnet detailing- These are probably the most sophisticated and sexy. Never going out of style anytime soon they really add some va-va-voom to your look. I wouldn’t suggest pairing them with anything too short or revealing (you don’t want to come off looking skanky)…but wearing them with a pencil skirt and peep-toe pumps will keep it looking classy.

Not sure where you can find some fabulous hosiery? Snapshot Fashion suggests checking out some of our favorite and affordable stores: H&M, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, Brooklyn Industries, Topshop, and American Apparel.

Prints, colors and layering.

Dries Van Noten is considered an “eccentric” designer for his love of bold colors,even bolder prints and layering. He is noted for keeping an extremely low profile, strictly making ready to wear lines, not making haute couture and not advertising. The clothes he designs, speak for themselves.

Mr . Van Noten, displayed his new Spring 2010 collection at the Paris Fashion Week. It was utterly chic and flooded with ethnic prints. It is defintely one of my favorite collections from the Paris Fashion Week.

Here are some of my favorite looks from the Spring 2010 that I will be adding on my Dries Van Noten Wishlist once they hit the stores.

My favorite item from Dries van Noten’s Fall- Winter collection have to be the shoes . They have a vintage feel to them that I love, and are definitely a fabulous fashion find.
