2011 Spring/Summer Trend; Black Tights with Shorts is Hot

Angel Vee
One hot clothing trend for spring/summer 2011 that is creeping upon us quickly is black tights/pantyhose with shorts. This hot look can be worn casual, or dressy, but if done wrong it can also look trashy.

How To Wear Shorts With Pantyhose/Tights

Ladies shorts are great for summer, spring, fall, and yes sometimes winter if worn correctly.

Tweed Shorts- Choose a cool pair of gray tweed shorts and pair it with a fitted tee and a crop jacket for an office look. Then off comes the jacket for a fun casual look.

Another cute and sassy look is a pair of tweed shorts along with a decorative sleeveless blouse tucked in.

Denim Shorts- This look you have to be careful with. You don't want to look like you belong on the corner. Pair the shorts up with a cute white blouse tucked in along with a vest for a fun chic look. For a more dressier style wear the denim with a sleeveless printed blouse along with a lightweight blazer.

Everyday wear can be the denim shorts with a loose fitted tee. And don't forget your black tights and cute sexy boots of choice.

Leather Shorts- Yes, this look is back and becoming very hot once again. Make sure the leather shorts are not skin tight. Go for more of a looser look and pair them with a loose baby doll or bohemian blouse along with boots and accessories.

How about a sleeveless ribbed sweater, leather shorts, black tights, black boots, and a cute belt? This is another look that can look quite attractive if done right. One more look for the leather can be a cute cardigan and printed boots.

Printed Shorts- Floral, animal, tribal, stripes, and tie-dye are so in. Pair with a cute blouse, or a ribbed tank. Stick with a solid color otherwise your outfit is going to clash. A chunky cardigan, tank, cute vest, or ruffle shirt would look real cute too. Always add accessories to spice the outfit up more.

One thing I enjoy about wearing black tights is, they definitely work on almost everyone. You don't have to worry if your skinny, too skinny, or chunky, tights are made for everyone's taste. Just make sure you experiment with different outfits, add some colors, and don't be afraid to wear them with sneakers as well. You will be seeing that look a lot this year.

Ok, so now that you will be sporting the black tights this spring/summer 2011, I have the perfect tip for you to keep them in perfect shape. After every other washing coat the entire tight with cheap White Rain hairspray. I had used many other brands on the tights, but it just seems like the White Rain works much better.

Then after spraying them with hairspray use a water bottle and lightly spritz them. Place into a baggie and now into the freezer. Take them out one night before your ready to wear them again so they can thaw and dry.

    I wouldn't have thought about spraying them with hairspray! Does it keep them from getting snags? Just curious, cheers :)
