Shaded





I'm totally digging these ombre tights! Spotted in the Sept issue of Style, seen on the runway of Tsumori Chisato F/W 08 Collection. The ombre effect creates an illusion of depth and layer. Unlike the usual opaque tights (solid and stark), it has a softness to it. Wear it with floaty dresses in layers of chiffon and silk (go the romantic route) or juxtaposing it with solid structured pieces. Whatever you pair it with, it's gonna look fabulous. 

Now, the question is, where can you get one of these without forking out a Chisato pricetag? Hong Kong? Japan? I doubt any of the high street brands will be churning these out. I might have to DIY and try if it works if i really have to!
