Pantyhose with shorts. Part II.

See Part I.

I hope it’s a tendency. All fingers crossed. But I notice more and more nylon clad legs on the streets in Europe. Jeans, trousers and skirts are getting shorter. If, say, in 2000-2003 most women was wearing short jeans (longer than capri), 2003-2005 – long (below the knee) breeches and capri’s, 2006-2007 – miniskirts, short breeches and shorts. Even when the temperature goes down, only the pantyhose density goes up.

These photos were made in Paris near Musée d’Orsay:

Yesterday I saw a tall woman wearing (everything was “off-” or “near black”) short coat, mini shorts, opaque pantyhose and high (under knee) boots.

Needless to say that I like it 😉

Rotterdam. Oroblu Style 15.

The person on the left (the one with Canon 5D) is wearing shiny Oroblu Style 15 pantyhose. Guess, did anybody notice?

The photo was taken in the centre of Rotterdam by my sister-in-law while I was taking a photo of her taking photo of me ;-D

Oroblu Style 15 pantyhose have a well pronounced “glassy” shine. Visible? Under the direct light? You bet 😉

Shorts with tights

With a great surprise I discovered that shorts with pantyhose (tights, stockings, leggings, whatever) combination is thought by some (many?) people as strictly prohibited by the fashion canons. Does fashion have canons, actually? I doubt it. Probably caNNons, but not caNons 🙂 It wouldn’t be fashion if it was so conservative (“You can’t do this!, because … errrm…. Because nobody does this!) and lacked innovations.

There is no difference between shorts and skirts of the same length and made out of the same material. (I think shorts are more convenient). But there are people who fight for the right to wear shorts with pantyhose. And no, I don’t mean men (NB: Though it also looks ridiculous – nobody prevents men wearing shorts with pantyhose except themselves, but that’s another story).

Two examples (back to women): Continue reading “Shorts with tights”

Moscow, high heels, greyish pantyhose

mini-skirt and stockingsEver been to Moscow? A completely different world of dressed-to-kill girls. Posh, expensive, thoroughly chosen clothes, make-up and accessories, “f* off” expression on their faces, high, very high, stiletto heels regardless the situation and place…

But rather strange pantyhose. Dull, greyish, “cold” coloured, “dead skin” looking. I don’t understand why. Even in the shops (Wolford is the only exception) I could not find any transparent tights with normal “warm” colours. Just coffee-brown, dark suntan colour with a slight lilac shade and that light “greyish” one called “natural”. Yes, you can buy black, blue, red, etc, but I mean close-to-skin colours. I checked Oroblu, Filodoro, Glamour, Levante, Philippe Matignon with exactly the same result.

Dutch women, pantyhose and bicycles (or Wat heb/had je aan vandaag?)

To make a short story long 🙂 In the thread “The shiniest pantyhose you know” (Russian) it was asked about shiny red or pink ones. The only brand that came to my mind was Oroblu Magie 20. But I was not sure if there’re pink ones (I’ve seen red Magie 20). So I asked Google and found this thread: “What are you wearing today?” (Dutch).

I could not believe my eyes! Girls/women are discussing .. not only clothes, but pantyhose! What surprised me most was not the topic, but the attitude and the interest! I got used to the fact that the most (I don’t know, say, 95% women) hate pantyhose or think of them as of something they have to live with though not willingly.

And the models… OK, look:
