I am always on the lookout for new hosiery and shapewear to try. Day to day, I usually wear my beloved Sweet Nothings Get The Skinny Shaping Leggings, but, depending on the season, event and outfit, leggings are not always appropriate so I try to keep a good selection of other items which can do the job of smoothing and shaping instead.
Tights are something I have been keeping an eye out for recently. Here in the UK, the weather has taken a turn for the worse and it's been much colder of late. This means that I need to wear tights when wearing a skirt or dress so I was really pleased when Yours Clothing got in touch to offer me a pair of tights to review.
I was recently contacted by Marisota to see if I wanted to review something from their Autumn/Winter collection for this year and of course I jumped at the chance. It's always so flattering to be asked to do this and seeing as I had been eyeing up several items I knew I would have a great selection to choose from.
I wanted to get something special and I was particularly attracted to some of the items from the Coleen Nolan collection, as they are glamorous and great for special occasions. Coleen says the following of her collection on the Marisota site:
Since I started wearing dresses and skirts around two years ago (yes, I really had spent the vast majority of my adult life wearing trousers as I believed that skirts did not suit/would not work for me), I have been a fan of tights. I would wear black or natural shaping tights under my maxi skirts and dresses, but as I did not wear skirts any shorter than ankle length I had never considered coloured tights before now.
However, all that changed when I was at Plus North last month. I had the opportunity to try out a few different items from the wonderful We Love Colors range, thanks to the gorgeous Toni, and I leapt at the chance. We Love Colors sell tights, fishnet items and socks for women, men and children. They have a specific section for Plus Size Hosiery which comprises tights, footless tights and fishnet pantyhose.
