5 ways to spice up that Summer wardrobe!
Written by: Channae Gibson
Turn your summer clothes into fun picks for the winter. Winterize your mini skirts and peep toes with leggings. Get warm and cozy with a variety of textures: wool, nylon... there is just so much to choose from. Try something fierce! Choose a ribbed, solid bright opaque or metallic inspired pair of tights. Check out our model, Taliah, showing off some of these looks.
Here are some of Tyra's tips to guide you when winterizing your summer clothes with your own signature style.
1. Legs for miles! Wearing same color opaque tights with same color shoe will elongate the legs. It's great when wearing a mini skirt, giving the impression of sexy long legs.
2. Peep 'N Go. Snag your favorite pair of peep toes from last season and grab a ribbed pair of tights or metallic inspired. Try a contrasting color for a great piece of eye candy?
3. Rip and Tear. Do you remember those sassy pair of ripped jeans you wear every chance you get to slightly show off your great legs? Well now you can show off your sassy pair of print or metallic inspired tights under your jeans.
4. Simple dress. Need a hint of color? Pull out those tights with the funky print you thought you would find an outfit to match it. Show off your funky legs.
5. Slim and full. A vertical ribbed stocking will give your legs a slimmer look. Horizontal stripes will give your legs a fuller look.
What are YOUR favorite type of tights?
These are great tips. I usually seem to have more summer clothes than winter, so when winter comes I'm stuck and wishing I could wear those summer clothes without freezing. I'll definately try some of these looks.
