The Royal Secret to Nice Legs


Many fashion trends have been launched by world renowned celebrities. Perhaps due to their influence and sheer beauty, many people tend to follow such trends immediately, creating a huge demand for whatever hairstyle, clothes, as well as accessories and fashion items they are using. From Farah Fawcett’s trademark hairstyle, to Twiggy’s waif-like look, or Audrey Hepburn’s pixie style—enduring fashion trends create and define a particular look that will forever be associated with the celebrity. With a global media obsessed with royalty, it is no wonder that people across the world are also focusing on the fashion choices of these royalties, especially when it comes to the current ‘It’ girl, the Royal Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.

A case in point: when she swept through North America for her first official visit after her wedding to the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, many people closely followed her fashion choices and some were surprised that she dared to wear shimmery ultra nude stockings with her dresses during official state visits and functions. A few days after images of her circulated in various media outlets, sales of these previously unpopular sheer
pantyhose increased by as much as 85% compared with last year’s sales—and this is just for the first half of 2011!

Thanks to this trend launched by Kate and her sister Pippa Middleton, many people around the world have also begun wearing sheer tights or nude pantyhose, even incorporating them to their day wear.  What was previously viewed as a poor fashion choice is now making a comeback as a hot trend among women. Today, technology has made it possible to produce barely there or ultra sheer stockings that are also durable, comfortable, and allow your legs to ‘breathe.’ High tech materials also reduce constriction while providing firm support for those who need it.

Another good thing about this latest trend is that they allow women to wear clothes that they have not been able to wear when the ‘bare legs’ look is highly preferred. Nowadays, women can walk out with confidence, knowing that their flaws are covered oh so naturally with these sheer tights. Finally, they are no longer confined to special events and can now be worn practically anywhere and anytime. With popular celebrities, such as Beyonce also sporting these nude tights, sales are expected to increase for the rest of the year. At least for now, it looks like sheer pantyhose are here to stay!
