Spring tights trends 2018

After all the recent snow and cold weather, we thought we should try to cheer ourselves and you up by talking sbout some of the Spring trends on offer.

Firstly pastels are big this spring, whether you want sheer tights such as Jonathan Aston’s Colour Palette range which includes both subtle and strong shades, or if you are not brave enough yet for sheers, you could try Jonathan Aston or Gipsy who both offer pastels in 40 denier. Children are catered for also with Trasparenze Corrine 40 denier tights in an array of subtle colours as well as stronger more vibrant colours. Gipsy also have brought out a 60 denier footless tight in a lovely mint colour for this spring.

Gipsy 40 Denier Baby Pink Tights

Crayola Bright colours are also trending this season. Again both Jonathan Aston and Gipsy offer great choices. If you prefer footless, you could try Trasparenze Dorella in Cina which is a cobalt blue , Bouganville which is a bright pink or Viola which is a lovely Violet. Trasparenze also have Stockings (Sandra) or Holdups (Miranda) in various colours.





Polka Dots come in a range of sizes this season, our ranges tend to have smaller spots which are, perhaps, more subtle and wearable. It tights are your preference, you might like Charnos Spotty tights in a very wearable natural colour or Charnos Mini Spot tights which are opaque. If your preference is for holdups, you might like the Ballerina or if your preference is for stockings, we have Trasparenze Rame. If you prefer just a hint of polka dot, look no further than Gipsy’s footless which is a plain black footless with a polka dot cuff.








Why Statement Tights Should be a Staple in Your S/S18 Wardrobe

From floral patterned to gossamer iterations studded with crystals, AnOther Magazine makes a case for incorporating tights into your springtime ensembles



The origins of tights can be traced back to ancient forms of dress, with some of the earliest iterations taking the form of thin strips of insulating animal hide wrapped around the legs. While materials have changed and technologies have advanced, the function of hosiery remains much the same as ever it did. Such close proximity to the body allows for ease of movement, and thus stockings – or ‘panti-legs’, as they were coined in 1950s film and theatre circles, sewn into the briefs of actresses and dancers – meant that pulling on a pair is akin to sporting a synthetic second skin.




Fashion, too, adopted tights as a wardrobe staple, as their form-fitting stretch – right up to the waist – eliminated the need for suspenders and garters. By the 1960s, thanks to the likes of Pierre Cardin and Mary Quant, they were the most popular form of undergarment, contouring and shaping the thighs and buttocks. As hemlines were hitched ever shorter, they began to become accessories in their own right, adorning the lower extremities with pattern and colour. Opaque or sheer, woolen or Lycra, tights became emblematic of a particular kind of sexiness that is difficult to pinpoint. David Bowie, too, championed the garment, in his gender fluid garb: “I still derive immense pleasure from remembering how many hod-carrying brickies were ­encouraged to put on lurex tights and mince up and down the high street, having been assured by know-it-alls like me that a smidgen of blusher really attracted the birds,” he wrote in 2001.




For S/S18, tights were back on the runways with a vengeance: at Gucci, in gossamer stockings that were studded with crystals; at Fendi, where logomania ruled supreme right down to the model’s legs printed with ‘FF’ insignias; at Richard Quinn – whose floral spandex engulfed the entire body – and in Demna Gvsalia’s pull-on Balenciaga knife boots, which were printed with images of desert-scapes. Far from just a practical item offering supreme comfort, it has been proven time and time again that tights make for a strong statement – which is reason enough to incorporate a pair into your wardrobe for the transitional springtime months.

These Are The Next Hosiery Trends As Seen In Paris

When you are into fashion, ‘Paris’ always makes you think of style. We think of elegance, glamour and a sophisticated (yet effortless) looks. If you have ever been to Paris, you surely must have noticed nobody goes out without hosiery out there, especially in winter. Of course, the most important show in the lingerie industry had to be in Paris: the Salon International de la Lingerie.




Every year, when we visit Paris Salon International de la Lingerie, we pay attention to all the next hosiery trends. This helps us know what brands would be introducing in the next seasons and what we’ll be seeing in fashion magazines, too. At the same time, this is a great opportunity for us to bring you the latest trend insights before anyone else.

If you are crazy about fashion and, more particularly, absolutely crazy about hosiery trends, you cannot miss this.
Velvet hosiery is ON!


In the past, velvet tights were exclusive to the Autumn-Winter fully opaque hosiery styles. That was it. Classic and minimal. Things have changed in the last two seasons, though. Everything changed last winter, right after we stocked these Girardi velour hold ups. Everyone went crazy for them and we realised we had to embrace this style.

So, this year we made sure to stock a large selection of velvet hosiery, starting with these Oroblu velvet leggings and these Pretty Polly velvet-effect tights. Our latest arrival, the Wolford Emily Tights in the picture above, which put together two trends: velvet tights and statement tights. These velvet tights include a message, put together in a nice way to create a beautiful back seam effect.
Shaping your curvesJust arrived: Wolford Whitney Control Top Fishnet Tights

Shapewear is one of the next hosiery trends that’s going to be big in 2018-19. To understand how this trend is evolving, you think of shapewear as a sort of body-contouring, this is, wearing hosiery to shape your body curves and do the best for your shape. Think of tummy control hosiery, bum lifting tights and, of course, leg support. It’s not only about looking good, but also about giving your legs the care they deserve.
Coloured stockings, the hit of 2019!


Best-selling Trasparenze Valentina Hold Ups, available in 12 colours 

As you know, lingerie and hosiery often go together. In 2019 you’ll see your lingerie drawer go brighter, as coloured lingerie and hosiery walks it way back to fashion. Both pastel tones and bright rainbow-inspired colours will be on trend, always combined with matching lingerie. One style you can always count on if you want to go for colourful stockings or hold ups is Trasparenze Valentina hold ups, one of our absolute best-sellers out there.

Which of these trends do you think you’ll be wearing in 2019? Are you ready to start wearing before everyone else?

She always turns heads with her stylish ensembles. 
And Nicole Scherzinger ensured all eyes would be on her as she settled into the front row with these tights on show at the Redemption show during Paris Fashion Week on Friday. 

Looking effortlessly chic in spotted tights, the 39-year-old songstress proved that less is more in her monochromatic ensemble.


Nicole Scherzinger attended Redemption's autumn/winter 2018 catwalk during Paris Fashion Week, and her front row style did not disappoint.

The leather-crafted mini features a bow applique that makes a real statement in contrast with her tights. It’s the perfect piece for adding a glamorous feel to both daytime and after-dark looks.

Try teaming it with knitwear for a stylish contrast and a pair of opaque tights.

All in the black outfit is fun to wear on the streets, you will need a tuxedo jacket, LBD, and slouchy knee-length boots. If you are more into casual style, then I do recommend to give a try to a draped black blazer, asymmetric green dress, black leather skinnies and slouchy OTK boots in black leather. Some ladies try to keep things mannish, that's why they choose short boots teamed with dark color slim jeans, sweater and cozy jacket complemented with fedora hat:

I am so in love with a blush cocoon coat teamed with beige heeled boots. Keep things sexy by wearing black OTK boots with pastel blue separates and geometric print oversized jacket. If you want to make things look mannish, then the best way is to try on a beige slouchy coat and wear it over oversized rich blue sweater teamed with dark blue skinny jeans tucked in vintage brown leather boots:

Have fun with green parka by pairing it with an abstract print blouse tucked in dark blue skinnies completed with lace-up black leather boots. If you are more into evening style, then try on a white cape-coat over black LBD with long sleeves and complete it with black tights tucked in slouchy black leather boots. I know women who want to keep their outfits simple, casual, yet ladylike, that's why I advise to try on a classy coat, bright color sweater, black skinnies and glossy black leather ankle boots:

Keep it elegant and sexy! You will need a pair of black leather pointed-toe stiletto heel booties and khaki green wool coat. Sure you can choose something sexier, like these OTK boots in black leather. They look awesome with coats:

As you can see from the images below, ankle boots and over the knee boots can be styled in different ways, starting from casual to eye-catchy formal look. By the way, if you are looking for more inspirational ways how to wear ankle boots this year, then I highly recommend to check out this post and see the best outfit ideas to copy. :

Lace-up dark gray knee-length boots look slouchy and sophisticated. Try them on with casual basics, like a slouchy gray T-shirt and blue denim shorts.
