Hosiery to Elevate Professional Style

Let’s end the debate—you can use hosiery to elevate professional style. It’s less about rules and more about results. When done right, hosiery adds polish, elevates the look, and gives your outfit that extra layer of intention. As a top personal stylist for executives, I show clients how they can wear hosiery to elevate professional style to complement their wardrobe, enhance confidence, and project presence. Whether you’re wearing tights, sheer stockings, or textured styles, how to wear hosiery professionally comes

This Tchotchke’s Edition is for anyone who has a girl’s Xmas party, a White Elephant Exchange (where did that name even come from??), gives out gifts to the mailwoman or mailman (I do!), has people that drop by and bring

What I & 3 Fashion Editors Scooped

What I & 3 Fashion Editors Scooped For four years or so, we’ve gotten together [ir]regularly to discuss issues, trends, events, solutions, and whatever else people in style and fashion do. And most recently, one had a novel idea of talking about what each other bought and why. That quickly blew up into, “Show me what you got!”, “Did you see this?”, and “OMG if you want X then you need Y!” So thanks to our collective consumption habits, you

Socks & Hosiery

Socks & Hosiery Always at the bottom, socks and hosiery are unsung heroes! They offer support, they are prone to ripping spontaneously, and they are rarely used other than in cold weather or special occasions, but they can do so much! There are three reasons to rock hosiery: for fashion, warmth, or coverage, and until recently, most people used them simply for warmth. Well, no more! The sheer ones can look awesome with heels. The mid-calf socks add a new dimension

Haute Hanes Hosiery For My LBD

Yes. Tights, stockings and thigh highs are perfect for spring because warm during the day and cooler in the evening means you need to be prepared! So, if you’re like I am, you normally wear black tights with your black clothing — very rarely (read: never) do I have on dark tights and a lighter outfit. And if you’re like I am again then you don’t really like hosiery a lot, so you’re always looking for options ~ Hanes has thigh-highs and

Winter Warm For Your Legs

Across the next week or so, I’ll be sharing a couple of posts related to my standard winter/cold weather uniform as well as few key finds {beauty & fashion alike} from my most recent trip to Paris. That said, the temperature is dropping….fast and I’m sure we all want to figure out a way to stay warm but look haute without too much fuss. For me, part of the “formula” is using just a few essentials that can flex up

Style Tip: Legs

If you work in a more creative environment, you can add a touch of zest to your look with colored tights. For the more conservative, opt for some texture instead. Also opaque creates a more flattering line than sheer! While in Paris, I discovered Tabio…where Mr. Oshi uses his teeth to ensure the tights are worthy of being worn!

Glam Gams

Because we go through them like water, our recommendation is to never exceed about $20 per pair unless we’re talking about a special occasion or Wolford‘s (for some strange reason, they seem to last forever but you’ll definitely pay for it!). Opt for ASOS [online] or if you must go in-store, Nordstrom has quite the selection of tights, stockings and hosiery to make any fall/winter outfit zesty! Check out our favorites….. A few style notes: As a starting point, opt for
