This month is going to be really busy for me as me and my studio will be covering the pre-school children shoots! The week has been really really warm! Wearing tights had to be reserved for evening workouts and saber practices! :( 

Anyways! Wolford fans take note! Now Wolford's Autumn/Winter 2016 collection is here! And our friends at UK Tights have them in stock! Check it out!

Here are some eyecandies!

Outfit of the Week #129

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #129! Sorry for the late post as I just fixed my computer's GFX card.. man Alienware really has cooling issues.. :X Anyways this week we are looking at this!

Source : Pinterest

Great casual looking outfit I must say! Red and Black striped collared T-shirt, capri length jeans, black messenger bag, grey canvas shoes and tights.. in fact actually the colour from afar looks sort of like brown opaques but if you ask me.. I'd say he was wearing 2 pairs of tights, red opaques and black sheers combined hence you get that unique colour actually you guys could experiment with that and it looks pretty cool and I think I should experiment on that too! 

What do you think?

Outfit of the Week #128

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #128 and this week we are looking at this!

Once again we are drawing inspiration from Cy Choi of S.Korea!

Interesting patterns on his shirt, not sure what is going on the chest patterns but looks interesting, his capri length pants with side patterns, black opaque tights and leather shoes. The colour effect combination is nice, I like having the white part in the middle and black on the sides, what I'm going for here is that long sleeved shirts coupled with capri length pants seems quite feasible as an outfit with tights, in fact actually you know what would be interesting in this ensemble? White opaque tights but I will just respect the fashion designer's choice as he has his reasons why he chose that colour however some imagination and other modifications won't hurt! :) I do find it generally nice!

What do you think?

Outfit of the Week #128

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #128! And this week we will be looking at this outfit!

A design by Cy Choi

This week we once again look to Cy Choi and wow! Check it out! The black sweater with leather accents, gold zip, black shorts with black leather hems, black opaques tights and white sneakers. This outfit is simple and really cool, not too fanciful and too colourful as you can see here. I can't find any reason not to like this outfit! Can you?

What do you think?

Outfit of the Week #127

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #127! And this week we will be looking at this outfit!

Source: Cy Choi

This outfit was designed by Cy Choi and featured in Cy Choi SS 15, at first glance one can see the interesting use of using orange as to stand out from the outfit, an orange armband, orange leg stripes on the shorts, white jacket, white sweater pull over with a greyscale pattern and a white shirt as base layer, coupled with black opaques tights(apparently footed) and black sneakers. Other minor details are the piercings and his finger accessory. In fact if you actually looked into Cy Choi's SS 15 collection you'd find 90% of his outfits had models wearing black tights and the outfits are amazing cool too! I really like what Cy Choi has and it's quite in line with what I usually do myself.

What do you think?

And also via Amazon.jp recommended a few products such as:

Outfit of the Week #126

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #126! This week we will be looking at this outfit!

An outfit by Seo Byungmun 

Reading about Seo Byungmun, you would find a description that describes:

"Seo Byungmun is a visually provocative menswear ready-to-wear line. It's display an unconventional construction that often plays with creative pattern." 

And rightfully so, if you have checked out Seo's other line of threads you would see very evidently why it's described so. Some designs are Avant-garde and some can be for daily use. 

In the outfit featured here you can see many of this unconventional elements here, a glowy blurred digitised colour pattern long-sleeved top, an unconventionally patterned and material made shorts with some reflective material and likely to be a stiff material looking at how straight it is, the coat in the 2nd photo features a PVC like trenchcoat length zip-up sweater in a unique light stone blue. The legs complimented with black cotton-look tights and a neat looking front zip up high cut leather sneakers. 

Nice look altogether, good way to try different shades of blue and with some glitter as well. What do you think?

Thanks for reading!

Outfit of the Week #125

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #125! This week we will be looking at this outfit!

This outfit was featured by Perry Ellis' New York Spring Summer 2016 

Nice to see that in the US, Fashion designers are pulling this look too not just in Asia and Europe! For starters I really like the knitwear, well I've always liked the look of knitwear but it's kinda hard to wear them here in Singapore as it's just way too warm for it. The cream coloured shorts are decent, the loose fitting black leggings gave it a somewhat casual feel and the lace up leather shoes are pretty spiffy too. Overall this outfit is on the smart casual meter making it suitable for a normal chilly day. Thumbs up for this! What do you think?

Outfit of the Week #123

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #123! And this week we will be looking at this outfit!

Photo source: Modalisboa

This outfit is part of Nuno Gama's Spring Summer 2016 collection and it isn't the first time he was featured here, we have featured his Autumn Winter collection of 2015 in our Outfit of the Week #116 and #92 Interesting of concept of having opaques in a Spring/Summer outfit when opaques are mostly worn in colder seasons like Autumn and Winter. I applaud the out-of-the-box approach but then again you might think.. wouldn't it be too warm to wear opaque? Well.. I bring you this!

None other than the Pretty Polly 50 Denier Cool Sense Tights where you can order it from UK Tights.

You get both the opaque look and not feel too warm while at it. 

Back to the outfit Nuno Gama put together, I like the reds he included in the shorts and shirt, the majority black shade gives an overall mature and masculine feel as well. This outfit is one I like! Thumbs up! What do you think?

Hosieree.com : THE RESURGENCE OF TIGHTS IN MENSWEAR

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

I have picked it up from another fellow blogger Hosiery For Men and I thought I should share it too!

In the US based Hosieree.com blog shared in a post and here is a small excerpt:

"No, you haven’t hopped in a time machine back to the Renaissance era, tights are really making a comeback in menswear! With the comfort and ease of tights, it’s really no surprise as to why it would be making this resurgence, but this is a new vintage renewal on the men’s fashion scene that we’re not sure anyone was really expecting to see for the year 2016. Beginning with runway shows in early 2015, tights are being seen as a replacement for dress socks under trousers and men’s dress pants from runways to walkways all across Europe and into the United States. There have even been menswear bespoke and custom tights indie brands popping up in hip regions particularly catering to this specific trend."

You can read the whole thing in their blog and check out their men's section!

Onward to hose!

Outfit of the Week #122

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #122! This week we will be looking at this!

A look by Llorenc. M in Lookbook

Awesome outfit lineup by Mr Llorenc.M! Nice combination with the grey sweater and shorts, brown ribbed opaques from Levante and probably leather shoes. I believe this is one look men of all ages can pull! To be honest I think someone should just give our friend here a proper camera.. I really like his outfits he has put up on Lookbook but his camera really doesn't do any justice at all. Anyways this outfit is just plain awesome!! What do you think?

Thanks for reading!

Outfit of the Week #121

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #121! This week we will travel to Japan for this look!

Photo source: MKT's WEAR JP's page

This seems to be a common look to be worn by young Japanese men, in fact if you searched with keywords on Wear.jp  like "Tights" and "Leggings" you actually yield hundreds of results!! His has a nice outfit, nice jacket there and shorts, good choice on those grey felt leggings, I'm pretty sure it's still pretty cold right now in Japan since this photo was up on January. The entire colour ensemble here is safe for men wanting to try out legwear as an accessory. 

What do you think?

Weekly Vibe #164

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #164! Sorry for the delay of the post as I had to work for 8 days straight.. :X And I only managed to get my off day today.. and I had some tummy problems yesterday and hence got home earlier than usual from work but no worries I'm getting better already!

2 days ago I was pleasantly surprised to see that my V.Vienna sheer tights came!

I'm totally looking forward to trying them out! One of my friends who just returned from Taiwan will be passing me the remaining other pairs of V.Vienna pantyhose to me! I really can't wait!

Last Sunday I finally passed my grading to the next level for my sabering classes!

To be honest it was really tough, we had many strikes tested and a 3 rounds back to back dueling! 30 seconds x 3 each! I remember myself panting really hard after it but I'm glad that I have made it along with my friends and now we are the next level and considered a Senior now! Woohoo!

This Saturday also happens to be my birthday and along with my birthday I'm celebrating our grading victory and promotion at a Karaoke with my friends! I'm so looking forward to it!! Now which pair of tight should I wear...? Hahaha!

Recently this week I found another male Singaporean blogger by the name of "Leo" via Instagram who shares about his accounts through his blog of wearing pantyhose in public in shorts and to be honest his stories are just real daily challenges of a hose wearing man and...I'm sure most of the guys here would totally relate to him as I would as well. Check out his blog Silky Legs Adventures. He does have some photos up as well on his Instagram @LeoDumLao79 

This year happens to be a leap year as well and our friends at G.Lieberman & Sons. Ltd or ActivSkin is having a special leap year promotion check out the details below!

Meanwhile in the UK, Mothers' Day is drawing close! Our friends from UK Tights have up a special selection of items for the special woman in our lives! Check it out! Well for us who isn't celebrating Mothers' Day could still get something for our Mothers' too right? Hahaha!

UK Tights is also having a sale on two Trasparenze products:

Trasparenze Pianoforte Leggings (Usual price GBP39.99, now GBP 31.99) Sizes available: M and L Colours available: Black

Trasparenze Bandoneon Tights (Usual price GBP14.99, now GBP9.99) Sizes available: Small Colours available: Black

There are also two new products from Oroblu!

Oroblu Delight Tights (GBP9.99 a pair) Sizes: Medium, Large & X-Large  

Colours available: Black, Crystal Grey 1 and Milk 1

Oroblu Divine Hold Ups (GBP 17.99 a pair) Sizes: Small, Medium & Large

Colours available: Black and Cosmestic 4

However I most likely recommend these last 3 styles for you to get them for your female friends or your partner.. Hahaha!

Well that's all I have for you this week!

Outfit of the Week #119

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #119! This week we will be looking at this unique outfit!

Shared via Men Wearing Tights Under Shorts

This outfit is featured by the Fashion label INKNI for an event in 2015. What really intrigued me the most isn't his clothing in general, YES.. It's the tights with holes around them! The shirt is really nice and the jacket seems kind okay I feel. The shorts are fine, the shoes are quite... meh I'd say... however I find the tights to be pretty interesting and I believe it should be able to work out well.

What do you think? Hole patterned tights... would you? I know I might.

Outfit of the Week #118

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #118! And this week we will be looking at the outfit! 

Source: MIP Taobao catalogue

Although I am not totally sure where this picture truly came from, I think this outfit is pretty "cute" well like geeky cute like how some girls would put it, dark coloured patterned bow, checkered red shirt, brown shorts with striped suspenders, white loafers and brown opaque tights. My overall opinion on this combination is okay, Personally I would have gone, black or dark coloured shirt, white/black shorts, black tights, white coloured suspenders. Regardless I think it's great that our model here is wearing tights!

What do you think?

Outfit of the Week #117

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Today we will be featuring this outfit!

Most of people of the Chinese world know him as a famous Taiwanese celebrity known as Show Luo or Luo Zixiang and it's always nice to have a famous celebrity to endorse the men's legwear fashion trend.. because if that's any way to get guys to wear them tights it's to get the celebrities to wear them too and we need more celebrities to do it! Anyways down to what he is wearing, Nice colour combination on his upper body; off white jacket with nice pattern inners and collar, black and white patterned tops, grey shorts, red sidelined tights and his really cool silver high cut sneakers! I totally dig those jacket he has got on and of course the shoes!! 

What do you think?
