Grazia: It’s all about the fashion hosiery at MyTights.com

As you know, we have got some great fashion hosiery at MyTights.com, particularly with the new autumn and winter collections from Bebaroque, Falke and Jonathan Aston having recently arrived.

However, it may soon be in short supply if an article in Grazia is anything to go by - its fashion and beauty editors were so full of compliments that we fear our shelves may be cleared!

Liz Hambleton, the magazine’s beauty editor, was photographed wearing Jonathan Aston’s Sweet Roses Lace Tights and revealed that she’d also bought lace hold ups - to wear over black opaque tights - and Gerbe’s Plumetis Spotty Tights from our website.

She said: "They’ve got the best stuff at the mo - I decided it was time for a tights update for winter."

We fear our doors may have to be widened to let us out of the office today - but we do agree that our 2009 product range is second to none!

Check out Liz’s purchases and all our other fashion hosiery on the website.

Our lace tights are number one for affordable autumn fashion

Pamela Mann Waterlilly Lace TightsLace tights are the number one choice for adventurous ladies this autumn.

You don’t just have to take our word for it, you can also listen to Evening Standard fashion writer Rebecca Boyce, who has been out on the streets of London to see what’s hot in the world of legwear.

And the answer is definitely lace tights - whatever kind of style you want to achieve.

Pulling on some lace stockings or tights can help to create a rock chick look, particularly if the outfit also has those rebellious stalwarts - the biker boots and jacket.

And according to Rebecca, lace tights can also work for the office when matched with a smart dress and shoes.

She certainly knows fashion, but it appears Rebecca has substance as well as style, pointing out that choosing fashionable hosiery is a cheap way to keep your look up to date and offering some wise shopping advice.

"For maximum choice that you can browse at your leisure, log onto mytights.com, where you will find lacy styles from Jonathan Aston and Pamela Mann from £7," she said.

We’ve certainly got the tights to keep you up to date with the trend that everyone from Megan Fox and Keira Knightley to the girl next door is following. Take a look at Jonathan Aston Sweet Roses or Pamela Mann Waterlilly lace tights.ADNFCR-2232-ID-19356811-ADNFCR

Essential accessories like sheer tights will make your wardrobe work

Investing in some key accessories will allow you to make your wardrobe work harder by rendering outfits suitable for both work and play.

This is the advice of Camilla Ridley-Day of the Daily Mail, who insisted: "Invest in the essentials and the rest is simple."

For example, the fashionista recommended popping sheer black tights on under city shorts for work, or wearing them with nude tights for the weekend.

Another suggestion was pairing a smart dress with black tights for the office, but toning it down with a snug cardie and grey leggings for a Saturday shopping trip.

And where did Camilla suggest you go for this transformational hosiery? MyTights.com, of course!

We have got a great range of practical yet stylish tights, even if we do say so ourselves! Why not try Charnos Run Resist Sheer Tights, which are available in black, barely black, nude and natural and will even prevent ladders. Now, if only we could teach them to make the tea…

Our hosiery turns a Pixie into a rebel

She’s always been the Geldof girl who looks the most like her tragic mum, but we were stunned to see the latest pictures of Pixie in the September issue of Vogue looking more like Paula Yates than ever.

However, the 18-year-old also has her own enviable style, so we checked out the snaps with interest - and found that our tights were among the items making her look like a true rock chick.

Called Leather Rebel, the shoot sees Pixie put into super-short leather shorts and a leather jacket in one photo, a look which is combined with sheer Levante Solare tights and Falke’s Cotton Touch Short Socksto add a bit of an edge.

In another shot, she sports an ’80s-style tee with a longer length leather jacket and Levante Solare tightsin Londra (black).

However, possibly our favourite snap is the one with her wearing a biker-style jacket and a huge puffball skirt with our Levante Fishnet Tights underneath. It’s a look that turns her into an edgy version of Carrie Bradshaw and which is sure to seal her reputation as a true fashionista.

If you want to copy any of the hosiery that Pixie wears, hop over to MyTights.com using the links provided.

Listen up, busy girls - MyTights.com can save you precious time!

If you’re one of the legions of women who got themselves ready for work this morning while simultaneously locating missing socks for your man and feeding the dog, then you won’t need us to tell you that time is a precious commodity these days.

Sometimes you wish you were Superwoman so that you could get everything done AND have some ‘me time’, right?

Well, one female executive reckons that getting savvy with your hosiery is one good step towards becoming more efficient.

Mrs Moneypenny at the Financial Times points out that keeping spare pairs of different tights at work could allow you to seamlessly flit from one event to the next - for example, work to evening drinks with clients - without having any wrong-tights-for-the-situation disasters.

And, she says, don’t feel obliged to forego tasks because you’ve got appointments - instead make the most of time at places like the hairdressers by taking your laptop along and doing the food shopping, or better still, shopping for the aforementioned spare tights!

Mrs Moneypenny states that she finds MyTights.com is the best place to do this, since her hosiery is always with her in no time.

We’re glad we’ve managed to make her life easier - why not let us make yours easier too? All orders placed with us before 15:30 BST are despatched the same day by first class post and we can deliver all the latest styles of tights and leggings to your place of work too!

Fashion expert recommends our sheer tights for summer

A fashion expert from the Times has recommended that you rely on MyTights.com to get you through all of summer’s hosiery dilemmas.

Sarah Vine said that she often finds it difficult to know what kind of tights to wear for everyday excursions, with opaque tights too hot, but bare legs too cold!

Not only this, but visible thread veins, crepey skin and pasty pins can all add up to a nightmare when it comes to derobing in the summer months.

However, she recently wrote that these problems occurred before she discovered Aristoc’s Ultra Shine tights in Nude from MyTights.com.

"A million light years away from the American Tans of my youth, these make your legs look completely natural and utterly fabulous regardless of stubble or blemishes," she enthused.

Sarah also pointed out that sheer toe is an added bonus because it means they still look smart and polished with open-toed sandals.

The sheer tights in question are available in a range of colours, including nude - Sarah’s favourite - bare gold, barely black and illusion.

Animal print legwear ‘is a wardrobe staple’

Animal print tights and leggings have become a wardrobe staple that anyone can wear.

This is according to fashion advice portal Pop Sugar, which points out that leggings and patterned tights in cheetah, leopard, snake and even giraffe prints have stood the test of time and can really transform an outfit into something funky.

"I would recommend wearing them with a plain top or dress as clashing prints can be difficult to pull off," its expert commented, adding that darker prints may be a good place to start for anyone who is a little nervous about brighter prints and shades.

Observer Woman recently highlighted Bebaroque’s Viper tights - which feature an exquisite silver pattern of flowers and tiny snakes - from MyTights.com as a hot trend for 2009.

Meanwhile, there’s also Celeste Stein’s range that is exclusive to MyTights.com and which features the gorgeous Rose Snake tights as seen in Vogue, as well as safari-style BlackGrey Cheetah Tights.

Try snake patterned tights to walk on the wild side

For anyone who likes making a bold statement when it comes to fashion, look no further than the latest trend - snake patterned tights.

Catwalk Queen calls the serpentine print "the surprise trend of the season" and recommends it as a great ’90s-style look, particularly when paired with a denim jacket or shorts.

It could also be a good alternative to zebra and leopard print for girls who want something a little bit different.

The fashion portal suggests Celeste Stein’s Rose Snake Tights - available exclusively in the UK from MyTights.com - as the ideal accessory for pairing with a little black dress.

Meanwhile, Observer Woman also recently recommended animal print as "big news" for both this season and next and said fashionistas should pair it with "block-colour frocks, perfect biker jackets and hard-ass sandals".

Celeste Stein’s Rose Snake Tights have a 40-denier appearance and the print - made up of pink, grey and black tones - runs the length of the leg.

Mytights.com makes Gok’s outfit all white

It was another triumph for the high street on Gok’s Fashion Fix last night as the guru showed us how to dress for summer.

While designer diva Brix again splashed the cash, Gok shopped like the rest of us, choosing one outfit in particular that had us reaching for our purses - and our sewing baskets!

He teamed a white shift dress with a white patent clutch bag and accessorised it with gorgeous daisies from a haberdashery shop.

However, the finishing touch was a pair of elegant white tights that he picked up from none other than MyTights.com!

This resulted in a great summery style that would be perfect for anything from the office to a day at the races.

If you want to steal this look, head to our website - Jonathan Aston has sheer coloured tights available in white, or there are the luxurious Seidenglatt variety from Falke, which are soft enough to wear all day long.

Sheer tights will help you with the bare leg look

Wow, where is 2009 going? It’s May already and that (weather permitting) means an upcoming season of barbecues, garden parties and warmer nights out.

However, this is Britain and both spring and summer can sometimes be a little on the chilly side sometimes.

While we want to get our legs out, we don’t want a) goosebumps and b) to show off the fact that they’re milky white from a long winter under trousers - dilemma!

However, don’t panic too much, because MyTights.com has come to the rescue with barely-there hosiery that will give the legs a beautiful finish but will leave people none the wiser as to how we have achieved it.

There is a whole range of sheer tights from brands such as Falke and Aristoc that will match your individual skin tone but will add just a touch of colour.

Plus, at only five to ten-denier, they are lightweight and will let the legs breathe, whether you wear them down the pub or in the office.

Try toeless or sheer toe versions for wearing with summery sandals and ones with non-slip soles for ballet pumps or court shoes.

Problem solved - get ready to set those pins free this summer!
