tights, leggings, shorts with tights, dresses with tights, shirts with leggings, no need to give every clothing combination I use to escape the restriction I feel when wearing pants. My style is not only known for it's pants-less nature, it's also known for copious amounts of holes and runs in my daily tights. In America, I use the Alexander Wang's look as both my role-model and excuse for my hole covered tights.
However, during my time in Europe, I realized the old A. Wang excuse was lost on many... the elderly islanders were actually a bit horrified at me being aware of the holes and wearing them anyhow.
Elderly Greek Man: "Excuse me, I have secret to tell you"
Me: (I've had alota old men want to tell me "secrets" that usually have some perverse undertone) Yes, what is it?
EGM: "You have hole in your nylon" (He's pointing to a dime sized hole just behind my knee, these were tights attempting to be classy)
Me: Yes, I know
EGM: You know? (Tears practically welling up in his eyes)
Me: Yes, I know, but thank you.
EGM: okay, okay, I no look at woman....no look at woman.
At this point is when Jani becomes my saving grace with Foot Traffic's Perfect Pair. I've worn and ruined a lot of tights in my day, but these lived up to their name. No waist band rolling down, no toes popping though the foot hem, and most importantly after a days in a row of wearing them (extensive travel to for my return to America) there were no holes...still a mystery as to how they managed to make something like that. I wanted to share about the Perfect Pair because I believe you can buy cheap things that will fall apart the one time you wear them, but you should invest in quality for your daily wardrobe staples.
If I can just acquire a few more pieces of perfection I might become quite the classy lady!
