How to Wear Patterned Tights

Patterned tights are in for Spring. They are a great addition to your wardrobe to add a bit of texture to an outfit. I’ve got people asking me all the time how they can add a patterned tight to their outfits without looking ridiculous. Here’s what I say.

1. I love to add texture to my basic black dress (but they go with almost everything).
2. I love the openwork patterns that let your skin peek through.
3. I tend to go for patterns with a smaller repeating pattern because it’s subtle.
4. I like the vertical openwork stripe.
5. I tend to pair patterned tights with simple dresses (more solids than patterned dresses).
6. I also tend to wear tone-on-tone patterned tights. What I mean, I wear black tights with a black dress).
7. I wear them with almost every shoe I have in my closet. Including open-toed shoes.

I hope this helps. I’ve seen great deals on patterned tights at Dress Barn, Banana Republic, Jockey, and Bass and other store at Outlets at Castle Rock, Outlets at Loveland, and Outlets at Silverthorne.

The Cure for Spring Fever!

The “must have” pieces to add to your wardrobe!

Even though the weather report is predicting almost 10 inches of snow by tomorrow (in the great Denver metro area) we can still catch spring fever. It’s getting warmer and it’s staying light out just a wee bit longer. I’ll admit it, I have Spring Fever. If you do, then I’ve found the cure. Here are some of the key fashion pieces you need to add to your wardrobe.

Bright Colors: Add a punch of color. Tones ranging from citrus to neon are the hottest shades for shoes, belts, and bags.

Day Clutches: Don’t carry a big bag this spring.

Yellow and Cobalt: High-voltage colors are the colors to find for your wardrobe. They look great with gold jewelry to add warmth and balance to these unexpected colors.

Silver: The metallic color of the season. There are fabulous dresses and accessories in the hot metallic shade. Don’t discount gold or bronze – they are still chic, too.

Cut-Out Wedges: Platform wedges are still in, yeah!
