Weekly Vibe #179

Hi Creative and Fashionable!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #179! I hope you enjoyed the interview done with Tightso! I have also enjoyed getting to know another awesome hosiery store owner!

Recently one of our friends Activskin have released 2 new legwear products!

Firstly the A829 Thermofabric Opaque Full Support Tights

Oh my favourite.. Black Opaque Tights! These tights offer graduated compression and feature a gusset which is different from the A866 which features a fly, personally for myself I'd go for a gusset any day. They go at USD$11.99 a pair in black only and run in sizes M, L, XL and XXL.

Secondly the A539 Microfabric Light Support Sheer to Waist Pantyhose

Well if you don't really understand what "Sheer-to-Waist" means, it's basically a pair of pantyhose that has no reinforced panty or toes which is great for really short shorts kind of outfit where you don't want anyone to see you that you're wearing any form of hosiery or just looks quite unsightly(or too teasing!) anyways! The A539 features Run-guard fabric, sheer to waist from waistband, gusset(woohoo!) and sheer toes. They go at USD$9.99 a pair with 3 colours, Beige, Black and Tan, they run in for 3 sizes, M, L, XL and XXL.

Looking to restock or wanting to trying out Aristoc Ultra Bare tights/hold ups? Check out UK Tights' Special Buy One Get One 1/2 Price

There are 3 variations you can choose from, Shaper, Hold Ups and the conventional tights. Do note that they end on Saturday 11th of June!

Well that's all I have you this week! Now I gotta go prepare for my cousin's wedding tomorrow!

Thanks for reading!

Weekly Vibe #170

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #170! Finally my lacrosse gloves have arrived!!! I have been so short of finger protection as I was doing my own saber training sessions with my friends and my fingers are always taking a lot of beating in our dueling sessions!

I was pretty late for this post as I got a pretty bad cut on my thumb and it hindered me quite a fair bit and affected my mood as well but it's getting better so here I am writing. Anyways reading through my email I found out a terrible news from StockingsHQ and here it goes..

Sadly Tightsplease, MyTights and alexblake are no more, I still remember Tightsplease sent me my very first pair of tights for winning the Mantyhose retweet post.. :( And I thought it was just Singaporean retail industry was doing horrible even online hosiery businesses are badly affected.. the last business I would want to see fold is UK Tights which is really a good friend for me at least! 

Well anyways moving ahead with better news Pretty Polly and Aristoc have new products and UK Tights has them stocked up!

Well that's all I have for you this week! Have a great week ahead! 

Thanks for reading!

Weekly Vibe #166

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to 166th edition of Weekly Vibe! This week has been quite an interesting one, on the side of my saber training, we relocated to the 100 Plus Promenade as our current location was under construction work but the relocation was rather short-lived as although it may be a public space, the security personnel decided otherwise claiming that our lightsabers are seen to be dangerous and could hurt joggers and other users....(when in fact the people on their electric scooters and segways are not considered to be hazardous... seriously?) but we did get to practice a little and took some nice photos though..

Our #SithSunday photo! As usual of course check out the legwear! :D

Today I took a dip to try a pair of the V. Vienna black sheers I got from Taiwan to go shopping around town and though as much as I thought I would expect weird looks I didn't really get any!!! Hahaha dang!

I will do a better full body picture I promise!

Now I'm going to be looking for nicer and better quality pairs of sheer pantyhose! Haha!

Are you thinking of trying out natural fibre hosiery? Our friends at UK Tights are having a special 20% off their Oroblu Natural Fibres series, to enjoy the 20% discount, just insert NATURAL as a code in your shopping cart.

Looking to another brand of opaques but not sure what to look out for? Check out UK Tights' Pretty Polly 60 denier 3D Opaque tights 2PP special promo, Buy one set(5.99GBP for a set of 2 pairs)  and get the next one at half the price and that's 4 pairs of tights at 8.99GBP and that's about 2GBP a pair! Great value and the reviews are great for these tights too!

Looking for Aristoc sheers? MyTights is have a 3 for 2 for their Aristoc Ultra Shine series. Prices ranging from US$8.90 to US$10.35 each.

Another awesome deal with Trasparenze's Gennifer Merino Wool Tights(US$17.80 a pair) at Buy 3 and the 4th pair free! 

Last but not the least one of my personal favourites Charnos 60 Denier Tights(US$6) a pair at a Buy 3 and get the 4th pair free!

That's all I have for you this week!

Thanks for reading!

Weekly Vibe #147

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #147! Sorry for the delay, I was away and my computer had some issues and probably still do have issues(GFX card problems)

The haze is still bad but I got myself a really nice looking respirator from Respro!

Someone was telling me I could cosplay as the Winter Soldier... Hahahaha!

Autumn is here and one of my favourite hosiery brands Wolford has released their long awaited Autumn/Winter series of tights and you can get them from UK Tights!

So far what caught my eyes were the Abigail and Laisa tights!

UK Tights have started stocking up new autumn collections from Jonathan Aston, Aristoc and Levante!

For the coming week I'm planning to do a special feature with one of our readers soon! Hopefully the haze stops soon!

That's all I have for you this week!

May the haze leave us soon!

Weekly Vibe #141

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #141! I realised that I have to blog one day later on a Monday because I realised that after Lightsaber duelling in the Sunday evening, I get home pretty late and exhausted from training! I hope you guys are okay with that! :X

You probably might read about it from Hosiery For Men if you follow our friend! 

What makes Tights And More unique? This statement:

While they are probably not the first online hosiery online shop to do this, but I think this is interesting, a huge plus for us consumers! Tights And More along with the HQ shops are one of the few that carries Nylonica, Playtex and more of Gipsy line of products. 

They are also have a "Write a review and win the product free!" even if you don't even own the product! Wow!

I bet Hosiery For Men is going to beat me at that and win them all!! Hahahaha! 

You also can enter into their new competition get a chance to win a 50GBP to spend at Tights And More!

Outfit of the Week #73

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #73!! This week we will be a featuring this outfit!

This photo was found on Brian Wood's Flickr Page.

I'm pretty sure we have seen this model before! I believe it was in Urban Outfitters and I have featured the same model in legwear as well. 

Nice threads in general, what kind of intrigued me were grey the cotton-based tights. I personally haven't really tried cotton-based tights due to the fact that I know it really doesn't suit the climate here though yes I do have a pair by Aristoc that Tightsplease sent to me in the Mantyhose retweet contest however I never really wore them out because they were really warm. But hey if I could find lower denier ones I don't mind trying them out! 

Grey cotton tights? What do you think?

Thanks for reading!

Weekly Vibe #105

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #105! If you all remembered about the Pyour sport tights that as shared on last week, I got good news! One of our German readers, Andreas shared a similar range of products in a comment from last week's Weekly Vibe, just in case you didn't get to see it, here are some of their products:

These tights are from Airoon, a brand from Italy, they mainly produce tights for sports like skiing snowboarding, running and even for hunting. The coolest thing has to be that they make them for both men women and children too! Personally I really like their hunting tights, have a look here:

These tights retail at Tuttostore ranging from 50 to 60 Euros a pair, not the cheapest I would say, but they look really great though! 

Aristoc fans should take note! Get them for your lovely wives or girlfriends their new Aristoc Ultimate Matt Range, and at UK Tights they are having buy one get one at half the price.

At Tightsplease for the coming winter they are also offering a buy one get one at half price for their Aristoc range of opaque tights. 

That's all I have for you all! Have a blessed week ahead!

Thanks for reading!

Weekly Vibe #102

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #102! This week saw Legwear Fashion For Men accepting the Blog Hop baton as nominated by Hosiery For Men and recently posting it up this week. Personally for myself it was a great week for myself to unwind and go out on a date with a nice lady I knew years back and finally starting to take things a little further than just casual friends, and guess what? She is perfectly cool with me having legwear as part of my outfits! Woohoo! Hahaha! Sorry no pics till we get official! :P

What got me really really interested with UK Tights this week were that they got a really unique Wolford Limited Edition Jewellery Tights.

UK Tights are also treating customers to a free gift worth 10GBP for ordering any of Wolford Autumn Trend products

UK Tights is also having a special buy one and get the 2nd pair at a half price on their Levante Class sheer tights. These are great everyday tights for women who wearing tights have to wear tights everyday. However do get them quick because offer ends on the 2nd of November!

Tightsplease too are running a similar buy one get 2nd pair at half the price deal but with Aristoc Ultra shine sheer tights. And it is ending on the 31st of October!

Weekly Vibe #93

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #93! I am pretty sure that you have noticed that Tightsplease has got a revamped website and boy was it really nice! But what I realised was that the subcategory of "Men" in the "Tights" category and so I decided to write into them about that it and waiting for a reply. Meanwhile they are having very attractive discounts! 

For Pretty Polly click here

For Aristoc click here

For Charnos click here

Steve Katz, ActivSkin posted up their monthly newsletter A535 Microfabric Light support sheer pantyhose, to be honest I am not a very huge fan of sheer pantyhose due to its durability factor but hey Steve has worn his pair for over 20 times! They are on clearance sale going at US$8.99 a note the medium size of all colours and large tan are still on clearance sale(older stock) and the rest are all new stock.

I also just noticed that it's just about a week plus more that we are celebrating our 2nd year anniversary of Legwear Fashion For Men! Stay tuned for special news!

Weekly Vibe #49

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

This week was a lot of losing for me!! Well what did I lose? I realised that by this week, I lost 9kg! Which placed me at a 80s kilos range! It was a scale that the last time I saw it was in 2006! I'm really happy! My weight loss efforts are paying off! :)

This week I also got restock of my support tights from Activskin, I got the A866 and tried something new, the A839 light support microfiber tights in black. 

Weather starting to get colder? Tightsplease is offering a 30% off their selected Aristoc tights, follow this link! 

I'm actually not feeling too well for this Sunday as I had a really bad tummy discomfort, I had over excessive amount of gas in my tummy but had problems dispelling them hence it caused very serious discomfort as I was sleeping, I woke up squirming in discomfort. But now I got better! Thank God for that! :)

I wish you guys well and happy!

Thanks for reading!

Weekly Vibe #38

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to the 38th edition of Weekly Vibe! I hope you guys had a great week! I know that it is really really warm in Europe and I totally know how it feels because I live in a region where it is summer all year round, just cool off in the shopping mall, drink lots of water and keep yourself hydrated! And if you do have to wear legwear, make sure you're wearing sheers please!! Hahaha! 

I had quite a normal week with work, church, legwear and life. I have found myself  recently getting really interested in drop crotch pants.

But seriously I'm probably more interested in drop crotch shorts, well for very obvious reasons right? Hahaha!

I was wondering how I would look in these with kind of bottoms with legwear... I could only imagine.. Hahaha!

StockingsHQ is having a special clearance sale with free UK delivery throughout this weekend, read all about here. Various brand such as Aristoc, Gerbe, Trasparenze & etc. are going on sale! 

UK Tights is also having a 7.00GBP off sale on selected products from Gerbe, Trasparenze, Cecilia de Rafael, Kunert & etc. Check it out here! 

I'm really glad that at least I got a day off from work tomorrow, meaning I'm going to have time to write hosiery reviews! Look out for them soon! And that is all I have for you people this week! Have a great remaining weekend!

Thanks for reading!
