It is common knowledge that stockings come in a variety of textures and styles. It is perhaps not as well known that hosiery can be worn in a variety of colors as well. The typical thought is that hosiery is black, white or skin colored. This spring’s and summer’s color trend lends itself to Easter egg, summery cool pastel colors as well as some darker, more smoldering colors. There is sure to be a color that works with your outfit and your mood of the day or evening. Hues of blue, soft light gray, pink, floral patterns and the list goes on.

Sexy hosiery in the form of short and sassy socks come in white, flower pink and sky blue colors that accent your spring or summer outfit with ease. These colors attract the eye and add an element of whimsy to dressy clothes or carry on the fun theme of more casual ensembles. Lacy tights are often found in wedding dress ensembles or intimate wear clothing. Shades of gray or blue are available in addition to the traditional white tights. Soft blue tights with a floral pattern add zip to that summery frock or those short shorts and high heels.

The spring and summer 2011 trends in color lend an element of fun surprise to hosiery. Capri leggings paired with tank tops are cool, comfortable and eye catching. In deeper shades of blue, purple as well as pastel pink, these leggings are ready for anything from a day on the lake to a night spent dancing. Color adds such a zip to any outfit when coordinated with both other colors and the mood of the evening or day. There are even fun tights that appear to be thigh high boots. These are fun paired with a short skirt, causing people to look twice or even three times.

Trendy hosiery has come far beyond plain old pantyhose or sexy
thigh highs meant for the bedroom only. Fashion has evolved to include
lacy thigh highs and hose with
criss-cross ribbons or
vertical stripes as part of exciting evening wear. Many men confess to being allured by pantyhose of all kinds, with thigh highs being a personal favorite. Wearing sexy thigh highs with a short skirt and high heels is perhaps one of the sexist ensembles you could come up with for an evening out on the town with your man or an intimate supper at home.
