All Business for Wolford

Today I dove into my Wolford tights collection and came out with the Maja Tights. As their fashion tights go, there is a lot to like about these. As is the case with much of what Wolford does, these tights can make the transition between business and casual wear.

These tights almost give the impression of a smart looking business suit, with the pinstripe pattern that starts at the waistband and descend down to the foot. Because these tights are sheer throughout, the design can look good with a skirt of pretty much any length. However, because of the floral stay up effect, one can decide to be daring and opt for the short skirt to show off the lovely detail. The effect is done slightly above the mid thigh, to mimic the look of a stay up band (a long time Wolford favorite). Instead of a reinforced toe, Wolford repeats the floral pattern on the toe of the tights. Pairing these tights with a dressy looking sandal can show this effect off quite nicely.

The tights are 88% nylon and 12% elastane. They are 20 denier. They are available in sizes XS-L in colors black and caviar (a sort of lighter shade of black). They retail at the London Boutique for £27.00. I opted for mine in my local store for $55. And I'm glad I did, because the only thing I like better than the way these tights look, is the way they feel.
