my tight, legwarmer, and toeless sock order arrived!
Every winter tights and legwarmers come back into the picture, mainly as a cute option for warm winterwear. This fall and coming spring is no exception. With platform peep toe shoes ruling the runways and streets both this fall and also on spring's runways, and leggings still continuing to prevail as the pant of choice, I've been noticing a newer trend happening- longer leggings that cover the heel and most of the arch of the foot- basically full tights with the toes cut off.

on the street-
the past few days I've seen a lot of pics showing the stirrup / toeless tight look, but unfortunately I can't seem to find any pics of what I was looking at...so I guess you just have to use your imagination...!
Though this style has been around, it is all the more apparent now that open toe shoes are the trend. I've been seeing more stirrups, and that's going to continue morphing into toeless and even heel-less (i bought some! pic above) versions. Tights and other leg coverings are the easiest and cheapest way to freshen up an old oufit- just take a look at Sheena at the Uniform Project. The best part is that the 80s flashdance style legwarmer has been reinterpreted, and you're going to start seeing it a LOT more. I believe in my prediction so much (or rather, I was inspired to spruce up some of my looks) that I caved and bought an assortment of legwear to satisfy any whim when it hits:
-loooong slouchy legwarmer-esque socks
-not quite so long slouchy socks
-fuzzy leg warmers
-japanese leg warmers more like thin socks without feet
-japanese tabi socks- toeless and heeless
I'd totally layer all of these. Maybe with a sheer tight underneath, or with a looser legwarmer over. I'm sure you're wondering about the striped tabi socks- I imagine them with my red ballet flats and leggings. I can also see the orange leg warmers layered with shades of grey (no black!), or worn low covering just the arch/heel/lower calf, layered over another open toe tight. Such a cute pop under boots too. Can't wait for it to start getting cooler (yes, another heatwave in LA..boo!)
