Are Panty Hose Passé? | yohana
We hate to say it, but London's latest fashion favorite is kinda making the whole panty hose thing work. Grandma references aside, they're barely visible and make her legs look all shiny and flawless. Is it possible that Pippa Middleton is singlehandedly taking pantyhose from sin to in? We're giving it a solid maybe. And just in case you want to pull a Pippa, we've got the do's and don'ts on how to hose up the right way courtesy of fashion stylist Karen Raphael.
As Raphael points out, the handy weapon for our gams can easily be misused. Even the queen of pantyhose herself has made some stocking slipups. If you want to revive the stocking staple of yesteryear there is one cardinal rule to live by: "The moment darkness hits the sky, nude tights are allowed," coaches the stylist, "because in darkness they are barely noticeable." If you are a true tracker of Miss Middleton's tights, you'll notice the stunning brunette only hits the nylons after dark.
However, that does not mean once the sun goes down you're scott free. If you know you'll be exposed to flash photography that night, go ahead and forgo the hose. Chances are your stockings will be super visible on camera. As for other pointers, make sure your nylons of choice are as, "sheer and close to your skintone in color as possible." And lastly, never wear peep-toe shoes with your hose. We know it's become pretty much passable to wear black tights with open toes, but trust us the toe of a nude colored nylon is a dead giveaway to your stockings secret.
Now if you want the look of a flawless leg, but would rather leave the lunch lady hose at home, Raphael has some options for you too. If you only have a few blemishes on your legs, "Opt for body makeup instead of tights. This can efficiently cover up any scars, veins or flaws that make you feel uncomfortable." And if you need full leg coverage, look no further than Sally Hansen's Airbrush Legs. This way you can still get flawless gams, even if you can't seem stomach nude stockings. We won't tell Pippa!
