  • 23 Pairs of Eye-Catching Fashion Tights for Winter

    by Estelle Puleston October 10, 2021
    by Estelle Puleston October 10, 2021

    For a long, long time I just bought plain black tights that I’d wear with everything. I was treating them as something purely practical, rather than thinking of them as an accessory. But that’s exactly what they are! In fact, the right hosiery can even be the centrepiece of your whole outfit.

    What to do when you want, say, a pair of sheer tights that won’t break the bank but you also want to shop sustainably? That’s where we get to the two man-made eco-friendly hosiery options I’m going to talk about today: recycled hosiery, and biodegradable hosiery.

    by Estelle Puleston October 22, 2020

    There are a number of reasons to consider wearing wool tights or stockings this winter. For one thing, it’s well known that wool is insulating. The naturally wavy shape of the fibers traps a layer of air against your skin, which keeps you nice and warm.

    Cotton can be a wonderful fibre for hosiery for a few reasons. It’s soft, it’s durable, and it lets your skin breathe, which may be the difference between your thick winter tights feeling comfortably warm and unpleasantly sweaty.

    Welcome to the second installment in my series on hosiery made from natural or recycled fibres, where today we’re focussing on bamboo. One of the most talked-about fibres in eco media, there’s a lot of debate about whether it’s actually all that sustainable.

    Today’s article is the first in a series that’s going to show you where you can find hosiery made from less commonly-used fibres. Silk hosiery isn’t just great from a sustainability standpoint. It’s also a soft, breathable fibre which makes it an ideal choice for sensitive skin.

    The lingerie blogging community is pretty small, but what’s even rarer is a fashion blog dedicated to just hosiery. I first discovered My Pantyhose Girl some years ago, when I was managing an influencer campaign for some legwear products.

    Thinking I wasn’t really going to need it, I left most of my hosiery (and all of my opaque/thermal hosiery) back in the UK when we moved out here. So I was really glad when APM Fashion contacted me and offered to send some bits back in October.

An unintentional new addition to my Lingerie Mix n An unintentional new addition to my Lingerie Mix n Match series - I've just gone through and hashtagged all of these #lingeriemixnmatch if you want to check out the others.

I adore this @emmaharrislingerie Melody bra, but sadly the matching knickers have gotten damaged. I am planning to repair them, but when I saw this @harlowandfox Eleanor thong in colour 'Hazel' in the brand's sample sale earlier this year, it looked like a reeeeeally good colour match to give me a second option to wear with the bra. It turns out the silk isn't *quite* as similar a colour as it looked online, but it's pretty close right? I might even add a little bow and pearl charm to the bra's gore to increase the resemblance (and also just because I love pearls).

There will be more mix-n-matches to come in 2023! I really haven't bought a lot of lingerie this year - my latest blog article explains why - so I'm feeling especially motivated to try out new combinations with what I already own. It's a great way to make a lingerie collection feel all exciting and 'new' again without doing any shopping 🛍️🚫

New blog post: Why I hardly bought any lingerie in New blog post: Why I hardly bought any lingerie in 2022. I'll pop the link in my stories 🔗

I only made 3 lingerie purchases throughout the whole of this year, including this Sulis slip skirt. (I also bought this Rosamosario camisole this year but I'm not counting it as lingerie - I wear it as a top). I started trying to live more sustainably in 2019 and admittedly it took me a lot longer to change my lingerie shopping habits than it did my approach to buying things such as food or makeup or even other types of clothing, because alongside fancy patisserie cakes, lingerie has always been my main indulgence. The thing I love and buy to treat myself.

But realistically, I have way more lingerie already than one person actually needs. I still love discovering new brands or designs, but I've stopped feeling like I need to *own* a particular piece to be able to appreciate it. So, anyway, just some thoughts I wanted to share as we wrap up the end of the year - there's more in the blog article.

I think a lot of us are trying to be more sustainable nowadays. Have you made any changes to how you shop for, or care for, your lingerie lately?

As someone who loves white and cream clothing, her As someone who loves white and cream clothing, here's something I couldn't live without: slips! A friend recently described hers as her 'granny slip', but we should totally reclaim this garment and make it popular again - it's SO useful. Do you wear them?

P.S. This slip skirt is by @sulis_silks in a custom champagne colour. A great brand to check for affordable, ethically-produced silk lingerie and nightwear!

One of the things I am trying to get better about One of the things I am trying to get better about is repairing my lingerie/clothing. I take really good care of my underwear in general - I hand wash everything, I let it air dry, and I store each set in its own protective bag - but I do have a terrible habit of throwing things on a 'to repair' pile when they break and then just forgetting that they exist. 

This Fréolic set is utterly gorgeous, and generally speaking it's one of the best-constructed sets I own, but the corded metallic lace appliquéd onto the thong was unravelling all over. Photo 2 was taken back in February and it had only gotten worse since, until I eventually stopped wearing it because I didn't want to damage it further.

Well, I finally fixed it. Unfortunately I couldn't find a gold thread in quite the same shade, and I'm definitely no expert embroiderer, but I don't hate the result. At least now I can get back to wearing this beautiful, beautiful lingerie set!

How often do you repair your clothing that breaks? Is it just the special pieces, or something you try to do for everything?

If you're in search of a really great, comfy bra t If you're in search of a really great, comfy bra that is relatively inexpensive and will work under lots of necklines, might I recommend the @lavinialingerie balconettes. The all-black Mia bra (swipe to see it 👉) is one of my everyday staples! Both bras are the same shape but different cup sizes; I got my best fit by going down a cup size from my usual, but I often have to do that in moulded bras so your experience may not be the same.

What are your favourite everyday bras? 

(P.S. These are both available in plus and full-bust sizes)

I saw this cute little book, Instant Expert Linger I saw this cute little book, Instant Expert Lingerie by Marilisa Racco, online and couldn't resist adding it to my cart. Just spent the afternoon reading it cover to cover. Unfortunately, it's not a great beginner's guide to buy now because it feels pretty dated - as well as some info/advice I don't agree with, it was written in 2011 and large swathes of the book are dedicated to recommending brands (and even some specific lingerie sets) of which a significant number are no longer around. Though if you like learning about now-defunct luxury lingerie brands from the 2000s/2010s, then it might be worth picking up for exactly that reason!

What are your favourite lingerie-themed books? I've read a few, but am now wondering how many others are out there that I've missed over the years...

I saw these obnoxiously pink trousers in the @port I saw these obnoxiously pink trousers in the @portmanbathboutique in Bath on my recent trip to England and simply HAD to have them. I'm not sure if they are intended to be lounge/sleepwear or outerwear - there was a matching lace-trimmed camisole which definitely gave the set a pyjama-y vibe, but it's possible they're just pyjama inspired.

I've been after a pair of high-waisted, loose-fitting silk trousers for ages but everything I'd liked was out of my budget. These aren't pure silk, but they are REALLY good value for money. When I saw the £55 price tag, I assumed they'd be polyester but nope - 20% silk, 80% viscose, and made in Italy too! 

The biggest downside is the sizing - they only came in "one size". Guessing that is a big part of why they were so cheap. My waist is currently 64cm and I had to reduce the waistband by 9cm to get them to fit, so they'd probably fit a UK 10-12 at most and smaller if you're willing to tailor them.

Although the brand has an online shop, these aren't on there right now. Definitely worth a look in store though if you happen to be in either Bath or Devon where they have another boutique. They came in lots of colours 🌈
