Black Out

On Friday’s I love wearing my cloak , which I honestly find to be part of my most elegant clothes in my wardrobe . I love the freedom it gives me , the flowiness of its movement , the comfort , the silky feel … and of course the look as I find them absolutely elegantly gorgeous.

 

My under clothes when I wear my cloak is usually a staple pair of tights and a black tank or a t-shirt , as I find these most comfortable for my work day wear, and I find that they “carry” the cloak so much better.

 

Today’s rave is dedicated to tights as EVERYONE should have a good few pairs of black tights in their closets given they are the most comfortable pieces of clothing and can be glammed up, glammed down , worn as pj’s , sweats , for frump days (we all have those) , or just as an under garment (as I plan on wearing mines today)

 

Given just HOW versatile they are , I can honestly say that I have owned way too many, due to my tights getting ruined by over use  , so finding the right pair that ticks the box in comfort , look and durability was a huge plus for me .

 

I decided to purchase a few pairs of Wolford tights last year (Hyde Park outlet) and have been absolutely blown by the quality and wear these tights give ! They have been washed, and worn so many times , and to me, look the same as the day I unwrapped them from the box .

 

Yes , the high price might scare off some budget-minded people (as the average at about R800.00 a pair) , but these are an investment in your fashion future. One pair can last for years—a reliable and significant improvement on most ultra-disposable options in the market today.

 

The Wolford tights are thick but not ludicrously so, warm enough for an average chilly day, and attractive under a range of outfits. They have a comfortable but secure waistband, the material feels silky and luxurious, with an even opacity and a smooth finish that resists snags and pulls.(huge plus here)

 

This purchase is a value for money as its evident in the high-quality construction, which means these will be a fixture in your closet for years to come.

 

My opinion – next time you are out there replacing a pair of your tights that have faded or become ratty with all the snags, make a stop at Wolford and have a look at a their wide range of tights … you will not be tights shopping again.
