A Second, Sexier Skin
You will have to be living on Mars or hidding underneath a rock if you don’t know that leggings/tights are really hot right now.
In cooler climes, leggings serve the function of keeping legs warm while making them appear as close as possible to sexy bare legs. Little Red Dottians on the other hand, have some problems regarding this trend. The crazy humidity and resultant stickiness makes leggings rather unfeasible.
So, instead of sticking to opaque black tights all the time, which may be a bit much on a scorching hot day, give the sheer, patterned leggings a little time in the sun
With the right outfit, it can look absolutely delightful!
Fishnet tights has been misunderstood as being too trashy. The truth is, if the fishnet are fine, they can sexy instead.
Like these Triple Backseam tights from Charnos:

Wear them with a Little Black Dress for a night out, painting the town red.
Footless tights are best for the Little Red Dot, but why limit yourself to black?

I don’t know if I’d mentioned this before, but I have somewhat of a thing for tartan. And these tartan tights looks really cute! And again, the LBD comes in handy for this one as well.
I know that it is now rather trendy to clash your patterns nowadays, but I am an old-school girl when it comes to patterns, and I prefer to wear just one in an outfit.

Play spider-girl in this very yummily seductive tights by Trasparenze. What I love most about it is how the proportions serve a legs-lengthening function. I don’t know about you, but I need longer legs

For the festive season, glitz and glamour is a must, and what does that better than shine and glitter?
Find tights with a more subtle glitter like these Jonathan Aston Nite Lite Tights, instead of something that is a full-blown extravaganza, for a playful sexy look, instead of a costume-y feel.
Then there are some kind of leggings that mere mortals like use (read: without perfect legs) should steer well clear of. Like this stripy monochrome ones:

Horizontal stripes can only make your legs look thicker and shorter, and I don’t think any girls will want that!
Feel free to experiment with your tights, but do make sure that it has flattering proportions
For all else, the sky may just be the limit!
(All of the above featured leggings/tights are available at mytights.com)

Wow! I like the fishnet stockings/ tights that you featured in this entry. Indeed, the patterns and finer lines elevate it from ‘perceived trashy’ to tastefully done!
I need longer legs too, Dottie! (-_-)

Hi Dottie,
Do you know where to buy tights of such nature in SG? I saw a pair of Charnos-like ones on a mannequin in Forever 21 (vivocity) but the sales assistant informed me that it’s out of stock already.
The prices in mytights.com is rather steep. Not to mention shipping costs!
