Fashion Merchandising

I think its safe to say that we can retire our leggings soon. Colored and patterned tights are back and bigger than ever. I was looking at the different styles and they are very bold…so break out from black and white this fall and get into the new colors. I actually found an articles online that gave tips on how to wear this new trend, because some looks are hard to pull off when you are not on the runway and I think this is one of those trends. Instead of jumping right in to a bright hue like lime green go a little more subtle, yet still stylish, with plum. They actually say to ease yourself into the look. Wear it to fill the gap in between the skirt and boots, so it will just be subtle and no too overpowering.
Also, when trying to wear bright tights please don’t match them to your shoes, that is too much color…keep it simple. This picture shows Rachael Bilson, who got the look right, and Joss Stone who really did not.

I really am not sure about there other suggestion. They say to wear fishnet tights over a bright hue, but I think that is way to much. Its easy to hear how to wear something but Anthropologie actually shows us how to wear colored, textured and printed tights. They can really add to and spice up a cute outfit. I can’t wait to see how people take to this trend and hopefully we will start seeing this look around campus. It is such a nice change to see color for fall.
