Hot and New Legwear Fashion!

Looking back at fashion history, vivid patterns have always set a trend towards brighter times.  Italian trend analyst Andrea Dall ‘Olio recently said, “A feeling of optimism is the most important thing this Spring”. Legwear patterns this season will be guaranteed mood lifters!

Read on to find out more about our inspiration in designing the Silks Legwear Collection and the “must-have” hosiery looks and colours you will want in your hosiery drawer this Spring season.

As you know, we check out the international fashion scene and forecasts thoroughly when developing our inspiration for our seasonal hosiery collections. Based on our research, here are what we see as the three “must-have” looks for Spring 2010.

1. Gypsy Lady

Immerse yourself this season in decadent versions of the exotic! Our “Gypsy Lady” theme is inspired by the rich, eclectic beauty of the Middle East, their way of life, fashion and culture. Look for artistic colours extracted from nature, like tarnish golds, silvers and metallics. For the “Gypsy Lady” in you,  we have created patterns like paisley 7047 and geometric looks as seen in styles 7376 and 9037

2.  Warrior Princess

One of the strongest looks this season is the tribal theme, as designers draw on diverse sources for inspiration such as Africa and the South American rainforests - inspiring prints, patterns and colours. Key silhouettes are sexy safari-inspired casuals mixing contrasting earth-tone hues. This season we embrace the “Warrior Princess” theme and the power of nature.  Show your sense of adventure when wearing Silks style 7377 leopard print tights. And don't forget that a nude pair of sheers are a perfect compliment to this look.

3. Greek Goddess

Drawing our inspiration from the beauty of Greece and the exotic and graceful beauty of Aphrodite herself, we interpreted this softer influence into elaborate brocades and floral looks  Check out Styles 7049, floral ribbed control top pantyhose, 9038 wave pattern sheer pantyhose and 9084 scroll crochet tights

And finally, for more classic, every day wear we want to emphasize these two legwear looks:

 

• Bare Minimum-With lots of delicate fabrics on the runway, this season a pair of nude sheers will be the perfect accessory. Silks has many options of sheer hosiery available: take a browse through our Collections
• Leg Up

Leggings are here to stay, and knit hosiery leggings have a smoother fit, a comfortable waistband and no seams down the leg.  Every season leggings are the key legwear piece to compliment a variety of outfits, whether you are wearing a tunic or a dress. Try our style 7936 - the Ultimate Legging, or our new fashion legging style 7379

The 'Hot" Colours

• Earth Tones – Browns, oranges and reds will make a come back this season as tribal wear the new trend.  Brown coloured tights and sheers will again become a staple. Check out Moka and Copper.

• Neutrals- Pair Naturale from our Silks Desire Collection or Natural from our Silks collection for a bare-legged look.

• Metallics- Silvers and metallic-like colours like Metal really compliment the “Gypsy Lady” trend.
