It is getting colder each day and I'd thought this would be a good outfit choice for the colder months ahead! I really like this outfit ensemble it looks really awesome! Grey sweater, denim blue shorts, black opaque tights and grey sneakers, nice way to keep warm and look cool too! I think I will do this outfit combination when I get to Taiwan for my holiday in December! Totally dig this! What do you think?

Outfit of the Week #87

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #87!  And this week we are featuring this outfit!

Photo source: Manolito_JaJa's tumblr page

A contemporary yet simple style this model carries, this makes a good winter outfit, a long black pull over, black shorts, black opaque tights, black shoes. This is what I would do as well and I have done so when I was in Taiwan, very mobile, needs no buttons! You don't even need to wear all black too, I think a grey pull over would have been fine too! You could go for patterned opaques too! I would recommend patterns such as these

These are tights from Zohara, personally looking forward to trying them on myself!

What do you think?

Outfit of the Week #68

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to the first Outfit of the Week of 2015! And I feel a good way to kick off is to feature one of my outfits!

Most of my threads were from Thailand, with the exception of shoes, lenseless frames, my Tiger Head backpack(not seen) and tights. I wore a simple black T-shirt with a Hammer and Sickle print and a drop crotch pants which I rolled up to my knees to show the Cette Dublin black opaque tights. You can get them from UK Tights at 13.99GBP Overall I like how the outfit looked!

What do you think of it?

Outfit of the Week #66

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #66! This week we will feature this outfit!

Wow! Just wow! Some of our readers will probably say... "Wait wait isn't this Legwear Fashion For Men? Why am I seeing a photo of 2 girls?" Well actually I was fooled when I saw this pic too on Tights4men, but taking a closer look, I then realised that the person in white top, khaki coloured shorts and sheer black tights is actually a guy! The hairstyle and shades was probably a little misleading... but man really, this guy here he has the BALLS to do it, many men who already wear sheer tights usually wear skin-toned ones but black coloured ones? Not many and it takes a lot and I do mean A LOT of guts to do it, heck I don't even dare wearing sheer tights out, even with the skin toned ones! I won't say I will never wear sheer ones out but more of just waiting for a right feeling and a time to do it, well I generally am no fan of sheer tights because they don't last very long and I don't think I'd like to have a ladder out in the public.. chances of having a ladder with opaques are much lower because of their thickness and when you're careful it's easier to prevent snags but sheers.. not easy to maintain at all. Sheer black tights with shorts for you guys? What do you think?

Outfit of the Week #56

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #56! This week we are featuring this outfit!

This photo was found in Dougaa's Flickr stream. This week I have at least seen 3 times different guys in the streets in Singapore sporting the shorts and tights look and I believe it is catching up! And I noticed most of the guys are mostly wearing them like our model in the picture above, a skater boy grunge style, Though the photo is black and white, it is very obvious that his cap, top, bottoms and tights are black. This is a really cool look and I personally really like it, though not really my style but outgoing friends can try this style! What do you think?

Outfit of the Week #30

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Sorry for the delay as I had to work over the weekends again.. This week we are having this as OOTW!

A look by Lookbooker THRIFTSTYLED

This look is pretty decent I must say, simple but I think it gives some kind of sophistical feeling to it! In fact I think its pretty much what I wear usually most of the time, but however I think black eventually becomes an unwelcoming colour to be around people. I think we have to exercise wisdom as we match colours with our threads. Here are his clothing items list:

Outfit of the Week #25

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Sorry for the late post and I shall explain it on Weekly Vibe!

This week we have this for our Outfit of the Week!

From a Lookbooker BEN. V 

Yes yes I know it is another black based outfit, but the best part is I noticed that it is actually probably BEN V's time wearing tights with shorts! And I feel really happy and proud of him! And if you explored his other looks, they are all the cool average joe looks. I really like his Adidas shoes he got on, it gave him the sporty footballer look, heck I think he looks like one of the German Footballers anyways! But hey I'm sure you guys got some black top, shorts, belts and one of those sport shoes lying around, try it out!

Thanks for the reading!

This week's outfit theme is of the dark side of fashion, and literally dark, dark photo and dark looking clothes. This outfit really suits guys who still want to wear tights but wanting to wear hoodie and everything else simple. This outfit physically isn't at all sophisticated but hey it does look fashionable and simple! 

Try this out on a chilly day!

Outfit of the Week #8

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

This week's OOTW is this!

Photo from http://www.tokyofaces.com/2013/03/19/mens-shorts-leggings/

First impression when I saw this photo was... "Wow! Nice hairdo and facial hair bro!! And you guys know how masculine looking facial like that looks and not to mention that it shows a form of seniority and maturity. I have been having feedbacks from readers that tell me that "Nahh the outfits you show wouldn't fit us, they are mostly for the young!" Well here is something for you gents out there! Nice blazer and shirt he got on and then came the really exotic looking shorts, black opaque tights or leggings and high cut sneakers spotting both the mature and the young at the same time! And if you got that kind of hair and facial hair, why not try something like this for this weekend? Let me know about it!

Outfit of the Week #7

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

This week's OOTW is this! 

This look was done up by Givenchy, photo by Dr Jay's site. 

Well you probably might think... hmm isn't this guy wear a kilt or a skirt? Well maybe? or a pair of shorts that are made to look like a skirt? Maybe? Well it isn't really my point, I mean look at the blacks but I feel other than the jacket, what really stands out are yes.. the shiny gliding look tights he has got on. The look is perfectly fine except personally I felt that the footwear is a little off.. I mean sandals? I can understand that fashion designers design things in a manner of like how a concept car would be so I could try to place myself in the shoes of Givenchy's designer. I personally really liked the jacket he has on, the high collar made it look that extra cool! 

Got anything similar like the model? Share it with us!

Outfit of the Week is this!

This photo is taken from Men Wearing Shorts with Tights Tumblr page, a look by UNIQLO. Darn I gotta say this guy has one look on his face, "Beech, I'm fabulous!" and fabulous indeed! It's so simple! Black sweater, black shorts, black legwear and black boots! Isn't it getting cold? Absorb heat with black today! Not too hard for guys to find black in their wardrobe, it's definitely all over the shop! Try this this weekend!

Outfit of the Week #3

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Today for OOTW we have this outfit!

This photo was from this Flickriver site(I got no intent of stealing or whatsoever) The caption was this "A young man dressed in high fashion--a leather jacket, short shorts, and black tights. Tights for men and boys are not unusual in urban Russian settings."

Firstly I do really like the look minus the cigarette(bad for your health mate!) This look is pretty androgynous I have to say though and not every men can I say can pull off this look, you do somehow have his kind of legs, I would really recommend those short shorts, but one has thunder thighs, I really recommend against that because it would magnify your size further, instead you could try the same on the top section but pair them with slightly longer black shorts or darker coloured ones. Those boots are pretty nice actually, it certainly does give a biker look which I find pretty cool!

Why not try this on for this week or over the weekends? Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for reading!

In Focus: Gatta 100 Rosalia Opaque Tights

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Today we will be taking a deeper look into the Gatta Rosalia 100den Opaque tights!

A little background information about Gatta, it is owned by Polish based company and was established in 1993. They are also currently one of the biggest and most modern factories in Europe. They produce a range of products such as fashion, medical, wedding, classic, children, shape wear tights and stockings, swimwear and undergarments for both genders.

The Gatta Rosalia 100 represents as one of their classic style line of tights, they are packaged with a cardboard slip with a cellophane pack which I usually wouldn't dispose of as I would reuse them for storing the tights that came with them. I ordered 3 pairs, one in XL and L in black and L in dark grey.

First feel of these tights are that they feel soft and silky for both L & XL ones, XL on the legs are really long, very generous on sizing, with a rear comfort panel, the L sized one fits just right as they actually stretched pretty well, the seams are conventional but not flat. 

However for the L ones while I had them on for awhile, walking and running for a bit, waistband started dropping and I could feel them riding down my thighs and uncomfortably feeling my inner thighs making contact which was pretty unpleasant.. I had to pull them from time to time in the Gents, and trust me that they are up above my navel, a few explanations of why they probably went down was maybe perhaps I were wearing spandex material undershorts which probably caused the tights to slip down. However I had no problems with the XL sized pair. I have to say that I really enjoyed having them on.

Opacity overage on these are 90% all around but with the bent legs at the kneecap, fabric stretches about 65% opacity. There are also a slight shine on the legs, more matte than gloss.

There is one slight inaccuracy to the product description, as it says that it is sheer to waist, unfortunately it isn't entirely true, as you can see in the picture below that you can actually see a very subtle line that marks a reinforced brief, well I got no complains with that honestly.

Subtle reinforced brief line can be seen in this picture

I decided for the future reviews, I will be rating the products in stars with features of Comfort, Compression, Durability, Opacity, Shine, Price

Comfort: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Compression: 0 out of 5 stars (these aren't support tights)

Durability: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Opacity: 4 out of 5 stars

Shine: 3 out of 5 stars

Price: 5 out of 5 stars

Here are some styles I have come out with for the tights.

Nero (Black):

Price: 5.00GBP (Wardrobe Direct)

Material Content: Polyamide 95% Lycra 5%

Sizes: 2, 3 ,4 ,5 or (S, M, L & XL)

Colours: Grafit , Nero & Purple 

Pros: Very economical (itsocks pricing was 4.99 GBP and wardrobe direct at 5.00 GBP) durable, Very suitable fit for men of a taller height & warm & stretchy.

Cons: Not many online hosiery stores carry Gatta, limited availbilty & limited colours.

In conclusion, I really like the Gatta Rosalia 100 tights, If you're looking for a pair of economical tights to start with or even just something new to try, these are absolutely the ones to get!
