How to wear tights: recommended tips

I'm one of those girls who wear tights not because of necessity but because of my desire to look chic. I don't have to wear tights simply because the weather is cold or because I'm hiding something on my legs, but I wear them because of their capacity to transform an outfit into a statement.

But yes, they have to chosen and worn right. Otherwise, ...they can be a throwback.

Unless you prefer to stay on the safe side and wear only black tights whenever you wear a mini, there are some fashionable guides on how to wear them right all over the net which can be useful for you.

Instead of coming up with my own list of tips on how to wear tights, I googled and searched for some straight forward guides that are already available online.

Familiarize yourself with the difference between textured, printed, opaque, sheer and footless tights and leggings, fishnet stockings, panty-hose, and how to wear them year-round. Learn how to wear tights.

How to wear leggings: If you like the ease of leggings, but want to make sure you always wear them appropriately, you must check this guide.

Have a fabulous Tuesday everyone. :)

Try fashion like Italy

When I first saw these photos from an Italy fashion Show, I was totally smitten. And I never got over it.

I'm sure you would understand why. Look carefully at the combinations, the play of colors and of cuts and of that something that I really want to put in words but I couldn't. But let me try.

Perhaps, what really caught me is the notion of creating a street fashion look in a very sleek way. Can you think of any street fashion you'd wear at day time running around the city and at a dinner party straight away?

What about these?

You don't have to entirely copy the look but you can get the idea and start making your own combinations.

Early morning today, after I was hurriedly dressed up for school, I quickly checked my inbox. One of our avid readers here at Creative Fashion sweetly requested if I can do some "My outfit" posts. Yeah, it's quite a time now that we don't have some outfit posts on here, but guess what? sometimes, life can be so choking and exhausting that prepping one's self for some fabulous outfit poses is nearly impossible. Sometimes, the reality of life can be so demanding.

But of course, despite those some harshness in life, we girls should never ever let ourselves defeated. Sometimes, we just have to recover our energy and be rightly fabulous again.

Printed Flowery Tights Inspiration

“The worst was when my skirt fell down to my ankles, but I had on thick tights underneath.”
on tragedy ~ Naomi Campbell

That was lucky Naomi. To have your skirt fell down to your ankles without notice is embarrassing; however, having only beautiful tights between you and the world is a lot better than having only underwear, much more nothing. Therefore tights aren't only for fashion, but also for protection.

Did you know that Lillian Russell, a famous American actress and singer from the late 19th and early 20th century, refused to wear tights? During the time, when the garment was gaining popularity, public attention was diverted to Miss Russell because of her aversion towards it. It was assumed that nature did not bless her with a pair of great legs. Supporters of her however claimed that it was modesty and not legs issues that caused her refusal to wear the garment. [source: Ambrose Bierce quotes (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914]

But for my opinion, if Miss Russell just had the chance to see these beautiful printed flowery tights that I found, she would have had changed her mind. They are so inspiring that they make you forget winter and just dream of summer.

These tights are finds of The Kingdom of Style.


I am loving these tights so much, especially the first two. From the left: Multicolored Vintage Flower Print tights, available for $10.00 here, Flower Hippy Tights - pink $5.95 here and Foral tights for £3.00 from New Look.

Obviously, tights are back and these flowery beauties are a new black.

Comfy outfit perfect for getting around

When I go around the city to explore this "land of smile", I always wear simple and comfy outfits. I can't be in any crazy fashion given the heat; boy, it's terribly hot in here. Since I tend to sweat a lot under the sun, I always choose to wear anything white. That way, i don't trap too much heat.

I and my boyfriend took a cruise, a package worth 150baht each for seven ferry stations that lead to seven tourist spots.

This is one of those comfy outfits I easily pull out if I were to go around. Also, expect my footwear to be sporty tennis or rubber shoes.

We got off at the seventh pier to visit the grand palace. I was wondering if the early kings did use to live in this place.

The palace is a complete magnificence.

P.S.
Due to one fashionista's comment, I decided I have to mention this: If you are planning to visit the grand palace, make sure to wear something decent. No sleeveless tops, no minis and no slippers. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to enter the palace. :)
