A Tight Spot
As wee ones we loved our polka-dot tights and knee-highs with strawberries on them. Our tastes have matured, but we still get giddy about dressing our gams.
And just as we thought that wacky hosiery had taken a hiatus, yet another eclectic crop of quirky prints have appeared for fall. Leopard is big, and so are semi-sheers with raised dots, little hearts and faux suspenders.
Our current crush is Hansel from Basel for their simple yet playful designs. Pick from snowflake-covered raspberry tights or sheer stockings with a kneepad. Our favourite pair has giant polka dots on them.
Maybe we haven’t grown up that much, after all.
