Rachel: Do patterned tights work on everyone?
Alicia, The Tulle Box: The short answer is no. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and if you have thicker legs, I would avoid patterned tights. Patterns tend to draw our eye and if this is an area that you don’t want celebrated, avoid the patterns. Determine what your own comfort level is with trends such as patterned tights. It can be a great place to reinvent a dress you already own by making it instantly polished for evening. Patterned tights can also give your look a very street style credibility. Taylor Swift, Victoria Beckham and Ashley Olson have used patterned tights to elevate their look. If you choose to wear them, make sure they enhance the overall outfit and do not compete.
Alicia was born and raised in Alexandria, and married a local boy. She is happily married and the mother of two amazing children and one adorable and terribly smart border terrier named Dixie. Alicia has always known she was a creative. She collected editions of Vogue from junior high on and has always loved clothing and design. She studied interior design at VCU and parlayed that degree into commercial interior design, the web design, and ultimately found herself managing a local boutique and serving as a stylist to many Alexandrian women. She now has a successful full-time styling business, The Tulle Box, and makes it her business to make her clients feel great about themselves and the way they look.
