We Love Colors Legwear for Spring




The lovely people over at We Love Colors, an amazing online hosiery boutique, recently sent me a bundle of their brightly hued tights in delicious pastel hues, including pink, lavender, cream, yellow and light green, as well as a pair of rich jewel-toned emerald green.




Not too long ago, I wrote a little post about how to wear colored tights and featured looks from the runway as well as some tres chic fashion bloggers. But this time, the challenge fell to me to incorporate these bold leg coverings into my wardrobe. Let me tell you, it was tricky working around such bright colors, but it was also oddly exhilarating. Colors have a mood-elevating effect and seem to spark the imagination in unexpected ways.

If you think you've got what it takes to rock colored tights—as I know many of you do—then head on over to the brand new We Love Colors "Trends" Blog and share your style with the world. Send them a photo of yourself wearing colored tights in a creative way, and you could be featured on their blog and even might receive a free gift! We love colors, how about you?
