Fun with Colors

Colored Tights | Everybody, Everywear

I don't think it's possible to fully express my excitement that it's tights weather at last! This weekend we saw temps dip all the way down to the low 50's/high 40's, so I was very happy to have this pair of gorgeous maroon tights courtesy of We Love Colors to keep my legs nice and cozy.

I'm very particular about my tights. It can be tough to find a pair that fits just right, especially for us curvy ladies. I can't stand tights that don't have enough stretch, either they give me the always attractive muffin top and pinch in the oddest places (I'll leave that to your imagination), or they slide down and I end up with the crotch halfway down my thighs. On the other hand, there are those tights that have too much stretch, and they lose their elasticity after one wear and end up pooling around my ankles.

We Love Colors has solved the problem of ill fitting tights and best of all, they've done it for the plus size girl. I'm wearing a pair of their Plus Size Nylon/Lycra Tights and they are absolutely heaven. No tummy squeezing, uncomfortable pinching, crotch drooping, or ankle pooling here. Just vibrant color and insane comfort. I'm wearing a size A/B, and the fit is perfection. If you're between sizes I would recommend sizing down as these are very stretchy and have a lot of give. I will definitely be picking up a few more pairs for the season! I'm thinking Mocha and Hunter Green...

I love the funk that this unexpected pop of color gave to my otherwise classically feminine outfit. This maroon color is so rich and will definitely be in my regular rotation through out fall and winter!
