Trend alert: it's red tights time
Interesting story on Style.com about a big trend heading our way later in the year: yes, red tights will be key. They were spotted on the autumn/winter 08 catwalks of Alessandro Dell'Acqua and Vera Wang and model of the moment Agyness Deyn has already been wearing them out. Get a head start on the trend at figleaves.com - Jonathan Aston's opaque tights come in a nice bright shade of scarlet. Available in the UK; in the US.

Red tights are great. Red is a hot color and a great accent. As long as its not over done I love to wear red tights with a short frilly solid color skirt and blouse in complemtary colors

I remember coloured tights from the 80's. I have photos of myself from that time wearing what was, at the time, the last word in chic - coloured, striped, lacy, animal print. They looked awful then, and they still look awful now. No matter how tempted you are - DON'T DO IT!!!!

I love colored tights, nylons, leggings etc..I wore them in the 80's and I will wear them again with sexy stilletos. I wonder is color just going to be limited to tights, will nylons begin to come in colors also???? I hope I hope!!!

"Every Generation laughs at the old fashions (80's) yet religiously follows the new."
Girls look so alluring and fashionable in Pantyhose; Colour should be welcomed. Even most of the Amish have brought colours into their clothing.

Red tights are cute even for a woman my age but I have to be careful where I wear them and how I accessorize.I love red anyway i just don't over do it.
