Thights season is here

Zima je tu, vsaj po temperaturah sodeč. Ker sem po naravi zelo zmrzljiva, v tem času ne grem nikamor brez hlačnih nogavic, tistih malo debelejših, če oblečem krilo ali obleko in tistih kožnih najtanjših, ko oblečem hlače. Te začnem nositi takoj, ko temperatura pade pod 15 stopinj. Letos sem jih sicer začela nositi šele konec oktobra, kar je dejansko moj osebni rekord. Zato sem vedno presenečena, ko prebiram tuje modne bloge in vidim večinoma ameriške, angleške, pa tudi skandinavske blogerke oblečene v zimske plašče, debele puloverje in krzno spodaj pa krilo ali obleka brez nogavic – v škornjih in celo sandalih! Zraven pa tekst v smislu, kako je že mraz in kako fino, da je, ker lahko končno oblečejo plašče in puloverje. In ob tem si mislim: pa zakaj za vraga si ne oblečeš nogavic, saj boš še zmrznila!

Nekje sem prebrala (mislim, da na whowhatwear.com), da so hlačne nogavice v kombinaciji s krilom ali obleko, modni prekršek in da se je temu treba strogo izogibati. Halo, mogoče niste slišali, ampak ne živimo vsi v Kaliforniji!

Kar se tiče nogavic je moje mnenje tako: večinoma nosim debelejše (vsaj 40 denske) črne nogavice, brez vzorcev in brez barv. Edina izjema so nogavice z zvezdami iz letošnje zimske kolekcije Calzedonie (kjer ponavadi kupujem vse nogavice). Črne debele nogavice nosim jeseni oziroma pozimi za večerne priložnosti tudi na sandale, kot na primer letos za Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

Sicer pa svojim strankam priporočam prosojne, praktično nevidne kožne nogavice (recimo Calzedonia sabbia 15 den), mrežaste nogavice ali v določenih primerih (odvisno od čevljev) prosojne črne nogavice. In to je bolj ali manj vse, kar se tiče nogavic.

Kaj pa ti? Pozimi nosiš nogavice (tudi pod hlačami) ali raje zmrzuješ brez? Mnenje lahko zapišeš spodaj.

Spodaj je še nekaj mojih najljubših zvezdniških stajlingov s hlačnimi nogavicami.

The winters in my country are pretty cold. I really can't stand the cold, that's why I start wearing opaque tights with skirts and dresses as soon as the temperature drops below … hmm, let's say 15 degrees. This year I started wearing them no sooner than at the end of October, which was a record for me. That's why I'm always surprised when I see mostly American and English and also Scandinavian bloggers wearing coats, thick wool sweaters and fur jackets with shoes (even sandals!) or boots with no tights – bare legs in the middle of winter! And on top of it they are writing how cold it is, and how they have to start wearing winter clothes … and I'm thinking: why don't you put on some thights, girl, you're freezing to death!I read somewhere (I think it was on whowhatwear.com) that you should avoid wearing tights at all cost, even if it's freezing cold, if you want to be stylish. Hello, maybe you didn't hear, but not all of us live in California!So, here's my opinion on tights: I mostly wear black opaque tight, simply black, no patterns and no colour. The only exception are these really cute black opaque tights with stars from this winter's collection of Calzedonia (this is where I buy all of my tights). I also wear black opaque tights with sandals for the evening, like I did for the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.Otherwise, to my clients I recommend wearing barely there nude thights or fishnets or in some cases (depends on what shoes they are wearing) sheer black tights. And that's it as far as the thights go. How about you? Are you a thights person, or do you prefer freezing without them? You can share your thoughts below.

Below are some of my favourite looks of celebrities wearing tights and looking great.
