SUMMER TIPS ON KEEPING COOL WITH PANTYHOSE
Happy Monday Bloggers! I have a great treat for you today, the fabulous editor over at The Panty Drawer is guest blogging for the beauty/fashion tips and tricks section about wonderful tips on choosing the right pantyhose for summer weather. We all need some help on choosing tights to help up beat the heat and staying glamorous while doing it. While some of us are abandoning pantyhose for bare beach legs others may still have to work the office with that dreaded required dress code and I'm sure you ladies will appreciate this post the most! Enjoy! Side note-tomorrow's post is Tarte's Trueblood Palette Swatch and review while there are more sponsored giveaways and surprises in the works!
Hello Venus Loves Virgo readers. For those of you who don't know me, I am Tights Lover from the most awesome lingerie and leg wear blog The Panty Drawer. I am very grateful to have been asked by Maria to do a guest post.
This past winter and spring, I was loving all of the different leg wear trends that I had been seeing around. But just because the hot weather is here, you don't have to put the leg wear away for the summer. There are plenty of great options that will keep you looking great and feeling cool all summer long. And you can trust me. As I sit here typing this, the temperature is getting dangerously close to 100 degrees.
The other thing to keep in mind is that you don't have to spend a lot. Finding a few inexpensive brands that deliver on quality is the most important thing. I have a few favorites that I know I always can count on. I've tried to pick out a few different things that span across different price ranges, to help you find what's best for you.
Tights
The key with finding cool tights is looking at denier count. The lower the count the more sheer the tights are. And just as opaque tights can keep your legs warm in the winter, sheer tights can help keep your legs cooler in the summer.
Expensive
Wolford Aura 5 -- The '5' in 'Wolford Aura 5' is, of course, for denier count. 5 is about the sheerest you can get, which means these will look and feel like your bare legs. The only difference is that these tights will give a subtle shimmer to your legs, making these perfect if you've been a bit lax on the shaving and/or moisturizing.
Moderate
Max Mara Origami Tights -- MaxMara might be better know for their clothing lines, but their tights are among the best I've ever tried. These here are sheer throughout and ultra lightweight, making them perfectly comfortable in the summer. Their 9 denier, so again, your legs are going to have plenty of chance to breath.
Inexpensive
Charnos Simply Bare Tights -- These tights were created with the summer in mind. Not only are they sheer at 7 denier, but they come in a variety of skin tones that can give your legs a more tanned look, which is great if you're like me and are stuck in an office all day long.
Footless Tights
Footless tights are a necessity in the summer. They allow you to combine the fashionable leg wear with the open-toed shoes perfectly.
Expensive
Falke Aquarel Leggings -- Falke is another high quality brand. Anything I've bought from Falke has lasted forever. These leggings give the look of a flower tattoo on the thigh. They also go great with open-toed shoes.
Moderate
Levante Chevron Footless Tights -- These tights are made of net so they're perfectly breathable for the legs. The net is done in a chevron pattern, and again, they're perfect for open toes.
Inexpensive
Pamela Mann Waterlilly Footless Tights - Again we have footless and open-net. But what makes these tights even better for summer is their gorgeous floral pattern and bright colors that go great with so many different looks.
Open Work
We've touched on it already, but fishnets or open work tights are a great way to dress up your legs in the summer without making them unbearably hot.
Expensive
Fogal Flamenco Tights - Fogal is another luxury brand that is both long lasting and durable while looking and feeling amazing. The Flamenco tights are just a basic fishnet pattern that can go with so many different looks while keeping the wearer stylish and cool.
Oroblu Eclatant Fishnet Tights - Oroblu is another brand that has quality high above its price point. I like the Eclatant tights because they're a bot of a wider fishnet than you normally see. The best part about them, though, is that they feel amazing on.
Inexpensive
Hue Sheer Micro Mesh Pantyhose - These tights are like the opposite of the Oroblu tights. The net pattern is so small, that you almost can't notice that these are net tights. But at the same time, these tight are allowing your legs to breathe and stay cooler.
I hope you enjoyed today's guest post. If you did, feel free to drop by THE PANTY DRAWER for many more posts like this. Thanks again to Venus Loves Virgo! STAY BEAUTIFUL! XOXO
