Black tights 'could be wardrobe staple'


With spring now here and summer on the way, ladies may be preparing to hit the shops in order to stock up on new clothes for the warmer months.

However, they do not have to break the bank in order to get a whole new wardrobe, as stocking up on a few key pieces and then picking up some smaller staples - such as women's hosiery - could see ladies investing in a wardrobe which stands the test of time.

And should money be too tight to stretch to a summer coat or new dresses, black tights or hold ups could reinvigorate last year's favourite pieces from the spring and summer, without anyone ever realising it is a recycled look.

Simple pieces for a busy wardrobe


According to Eliza Scarborough, in an article for the Daily Mail, ladies can make their wardrobes work overtime by investing in just a small number of classic garments.

"A simple hero item such as a plain shift dress or pencil skirt can become an entirely different outfit with the addition of a jacket or a change of top and shoes," she claims.

Ms Scarborough gives an example of how versatile such pieces can be by demonstrating how ladies can create three unique outfits using the same skirt.

For a day at the office, the grey pencil skirt is teamed with black tights and patent heels, a white blouse and black blazer, while the outfit can be made more casual for a shopping trip by replacing the heels with pumps and the jacket with a long cardigan.

In the evening, sheer tights can replace the black women's hosiery and a lacy black top and peep-toe heels can see the look working perfectly at a bar or restaurant.

Women's hosiery for every occasion


Ms Scarborough chooses black tights when it comes to each of the office outfits on offer, while selecting sheer tights for the more casual looks - which may be a tip ladies wish to follow.

Black tights could be said to be a more formal look for women while they are in the workplace, while such garments will continue to be on-trend for the spring and summer.

Meanwhile, sheer tights can help to create a more glamorous look for the evening.

In addition to stocking up on tights, ladies may also wish to branch out when choosing their women's hosiery by buying hold ups.

Cathy Winston, in a post for stylelist.com, recently stated that hold ups are "super sexy" and the perfect garments for injecting some fun back into wardrobes, without breaking the bank.

And Helen Attwood, Selfridges' lingerie buying manager, added that hold ups are perfect for making winter outfits a little more feminine.

With so many types of women's hosiery set to prove in vogue this season, ladies are likely to find they have an on-trend wardrobe, without putting too much pressure on their purses in order to achieve it.
