Weekly Vibe #199

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #199! Sorry for the lack of post last week as I had to work on my off day sadly but I managed to squeeze a date with a nice Russian girl at the zoo! :)

I got to know her during my friends wedding on the week before but sadly she doesn't live in Singapore and recently flew back to Russia and looks like I have to fly to Russia soon again!

I recently just finished shooting Legwear Fashion Video Review for the Omsa Attiva 70 Tights and it's up on YouTube now!

UK Tights have recently stocked up a new brand of hosiery named Cindy.

As you can see most as of now there are more sheer tights and stockings stocked up, as for sizes it's one sized and I think it may not be suitable for men as they might run smaller I think.

But don't fret if you still wanna get sheers, you could still get a Charnos Elegance series

They are going at buy one and get the next pair at half the price, and they have larger sizes that suit male sizes better.

Oh I just realised that my birthday is next Monday! :X My plans next week would be shooting the Omsa Velour Tights review and do some writing :) We will see how it goes as I will be in the season of Lent. :)

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

Weekly Vibe #197

Happy New Year everyone!

I'm finally settled down but still not used to the high temperatures back in Singapore with noons that go as high as 35 degrees celsius and 100% humidity. :( versus -20 degrees celsius (sometimes colder) in Moscow where I just returned from. Needless to say I missed being Moscow where I enjoy the cold and the snow and just being there! Here are some photos of my holiday!

I couldn't really wear shorts and tights as it was really too cold for me, most days I had to wear 2 pairs of tights under my jeans along with winter shoes but I would still feel cold however it was still bearable. The only time I did tights with shorts was on my way to the airport flying back to Singapore, even so I had 2 pairs on and once I left the car to bring out my baggage I immediately felt the chill and hurried into the airport. That was how cold it was! To be honest I'm really amazed seeing how some women I noticed wore sheer pantyhose in this kind of winter! Well I mean at least they had on coats and knee length boots and showed just their thighs in nylons. I really can't wrap my head around that! However Russian women are truly beautiful! I yearn to return again soon perhaps 2018 World Cup in Russia. :)

Since day 1 I had been looking for Russian made hosiery but I ended up not finding what I wanted. I was looking specifically for Orodoro Microfibra model tights but I couldn't find any! Not even in stores and online! They were simply out of stock! And now that I'm back in Singapore, the online stores don't ship overseas either!

However I didn't leave empty-handed, got myself some Italian made OMSA and Elaslim tights which I will be doing reviews starting in February :)

If you looking to get Oroblu at a discounted price now it's the time! UK Tights is having a special 15% off their Oroblu collection!

Do hurry because it ends on the 18th Jan!

That's all I have for you this week!

Weekly Vibe #196

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Star Wars Rogue One was recently released!! I actually didn't have high hopes for the movie because The Force Awakens didn't seem to good but many who watched it on the premiere did mention it was worth the watch and boy it was!! Best part of it I was invited by a local Police division for a dress up and got to watch the movie for free too!

I'm on the left as Darth Revan with my other 2 friends dressed up as Sith. Hahaha!

I'm counting down to 10 more days to my holiday to Moscow! I got most of the things I needed prepared! Now I just have to make sure I got all of my work done before leaving the country!

Christmas is just around the corner and here are some gift ideas which UK Tights have put up!

If looking through that page didn't help there is another option! A Gift voucher!

Just follow the link and fill up the details and you will be able to send them accordingly!

I have only just finished filming Legwear Fashion Review awhile ago now I'm going to get down to do the post-processing bit! This will be the last Weekly Vibe post of 2016! See you next year!

On Sunday I hung out with my Church friends after liturgy to celebrate a birthday it was really fun! 

The girls are really a lively bunch to hang out with! :)

And just earlier I got home after helping out for a shoot for a friend, he needed some help for a shoot for his 3 week old newborn so I played the role of a "Nanny" putting the baby into these positions and props! I decided not to shoot but just to help compose the shot as I really wanted to rest from picking up a camera for a day but I hey I still couldn't help myself picking up my phone for a few snapshots too!

Simply adorable!

Have you guys checked out Activskin's new web layout?? It looks really cool now! I like that fact that it's pretty hip and you get to see how the tights look like on a model!

Outfit of the Week #133

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #133 and this week we will be looking at this outfit!

An outfit by JORGE B. on Lookbook

Interesting use of colour here! Yellow and Black are always a great combination to outfits, the inner wear of the model are pretty conservative with black coloured top and bottoms, black opaque tights, interesting looking glasses and a nice yellow coat, he does spot really interesting looking shoes!



You can see all the pictures on his blog site and he is definitely sporting full length tights, not leggings! Big thumbs up to him!

What do you think? I totally like it!

Weekly Vibe #180

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #180! It's the Euro 2016 craze here! But tights are not absent too! If you checked out recently, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted wearing tights under shorts!

This news was picked up by various media, most comments were neutral and positive! Awesome news for us! What he is wearing seems to be more of the semi-opaque range than opaque, nice legs there C. Ronaldo! 

I recently just got back from a staycation with my over the weekends and we had a lot of fun! 

No I didn't wear any tights that weekend because the weather is just too hot out there! :X But I did wear them for my saber class on Sunday, after my senior class I decided to play, "guess who am I?" with one of the saber class parents' kids. I had my face mesh protection and balaclava on and I went up to one of this 9 year olds asked.. "Guess who I am!?" the boy was like ummmmmm...... then the father pointed at my legs(which are donned with tights) and the boy was like.. "Andreas!!" Hahahaha! Now tights are like even a trait for me! Totally cool!

If you are have been following online hosiery in the UK, MyTights is now officially part of UK Tights, congratulations to UK Tights for the acquisition, hosiery retailing is really a niche market and as with any business it isn't easy nowadays but I'm glad to be friends with UK Tights and they have been very supportive to this blog and for the men who wear tights! 

If you are looking at getting Trasparenze Gennifer Merino Wool Tights, UK Tights is having a special GBP2.00 off with most colours and sizes in stock! Up to XXL!

Glastonbury Festival in the UK kicks off this week! UK Tights got it covered if you are looking funky fashion styles this week to wear! 

For the guys we recommend some of the Stop And Stare Co sheer tattoo tights! They are really something cool!

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

Outfit of the Week #132

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #132! And this week we will be looking at this outfit!

Photo via Pantyhose Doctor on Flickr

Looks like a slightly cooler day here in this picture, one can see even a toque being worn by the guy on the left side of the photo, I like how the guy on the right actually finds a practical way of wearing tights in this cold weather, interesting use of the knitted head band giving that really hippy Jamaican style, overall the colour of his outfit falls under the category of "practical" if not "hippy". Personally I think if he was wearing footed tights, I'd reckon he do without the colourful socks but I suppose he was probably really cold... but he could still do with black socks I think.

What do you think?

Special Spotlight : Interview with Tightso

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

We got a Special Spotlight today with Tightso!


Thank you so much for responding to us at Legwear Fashion For Men via Instagram! I just checked out your website at www.tightso.com and it seems like you got a nice collection of legwear products there! And I would like to ask you a few questions!


1)Can you provide the readers at Legwear Fashion For Men with some background information about yourself and tightso (You can introduce who you are as well)
   
I'd like to thank you for the interview on behalf of all Tightso staff :) My name is Eileen, I'm the founder of Tightso. We started originally as SecondSkin-Shop in 2008 and then shorten our name to Tightso in 2010 which simply means Tights Online. Our physical stores are located in both Ottawa/Canada and Ankara/Turkey. Following 2010 we started our online hosiery department and shipping fine and rare hosiery worldwide ever since. Our journey began as really small with just two women and progressed to what it is today 10 passionate women still enjoying and learning the world of hosiery.

2) What was the inspiration to start Tightso?

After graduating at a college in Montreal I've decided that I'm not up to an 8 to 4 job. First I 
have to try to run my own business which I've said to myself and I'm glad I did. I have worked in many malls and shopping centers I don't know why but preferably in hosiery departments. Maybe because my first Summer job in high school was a counter assistant in a local cosmetics and hosiery shop :) So I've learned quite a few things about hosiery and probably decided to put it in use :) 

3) Oh wow! You got businesses in 2 countries! We noticed that you have interesting ideas like giving away free tights and we know it's something quite out of the box! We are curious, what makes Tightso unique from other online hosiery retailers?

Out of many I think, we try to maintain good relations with our customers. We always keep in touch. We have customers that we ship tights even before they place an order.We just think they might like them and if they do they will make the payment.We are a bizarre online business :)

Penti 40 Denier Tights

4) What are the general demographics of your customers so far? Eg. Adult women, young women or men? 

With all the crazy and fun designs I'd say young women and men. Adult women (50+) unfortunately more comfortable shopping locally. We have quite a large number of men customer as well. They mostly go for our classic tights and we try to help them as much as we can regarding sizing and colour.

5) What brands do Tightso currently carry? Are there any favourites for you personally too?

We have two lines of products. The ones we sell online and the ones in our stores.We sell the rare and hard to find ones online.  We carry Gatta, Day Mod, Penti, Oroblu, Fiore, Golden Lady, Italiana, Pierre Cardin, Mujde and etc.

We have also been working on our own brand called Nelson.We have only one product for now; 40 Den opaques and they are part of our "Back to school" promotion that we run every Fall. As for favorites, I love all. Each brand we carry have a unique wow factor of their own. But if I had to choose one I'd say Penti because they have variety .Every year we get a few new designs from hosiery companies via our suppliers but Penti send us a whole new product line with tons of new designs and colors directly nonstop. They're a real dynamo!

Day Mod 200 Den Wetlook Tights

6)Wow! It's nice to know they are many kinds of customers you have! We will also surely look out for your own brand Nelson! Any idea when will you be releasing them?

Nelson brand is available since last year. For now only in black color and three sizes but will be expanded up to XXL and more color options in near future.We have also been working on a sheer model which will come in a number of colors and sizes to choose from.

Nelson 40 Denier Tights

7)For years there has been a recent hype on men's hosiery or "Mantyhose" top hosiery fashion designer like Emilio Cavallini caught up with it and created a few lines of tights for men, what do you think of hosiery as a fashion or as an everyday apparel for men? 

I think it's great to see men realising that tights are not just for women and can be for men also. I'm quite familiar to the trend. Even when I worked as a counter assistant in the 80s we had many male customers even though we carried only for women items.

I was always impressed by how knowledgeable they were when it comes to hosiery even more than us women. Today about 50% of our business is with men and it's a great number and says a lot. Not surprisingly we interact more with men everyday through emails and social media and it says a lot.

 Penti 80 Denier Tights

8)What are your plans for your foreseeable future?

Keep doing what we're doing. Everyone has a goal to reach in his/her life. I love my job and I intend to do it for a long time.

Awesome! Thank you so much! We want to wish you all the best in your business and your endeavours! Looking forward cooperate more in the future!

I hope you all enjoyed this interview, Tightso has some really unique nice patterns of tights! Do check them out!

Thanks for reading!

Weekly Vibe #177

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #177! Last Sunday I once again completed my National Vertical Marathon!

The building was 63 stories high and 278 metres tall! However I took my time this round because and I still attended saber class! Needless to say at the end of the day my legs were pretty much busted but I decided to slip on a pair of Activskin's A577 Microfabric support sheer pantyhose to recover my legs and it proved to be great!

Monday I was out with a friend for awhile and I tried on the Penti 80 denier tights which Tightso sent me last week, I was glad I managed to grab some photos because much later I spilled coffee all over my left leg but wow tights are quite relenting! They at least protected my leg from the heat of the coffee 

If you are fans of Wolford Fashion you are in for a treat! Because our friends at UK Tights is having a special promotion for Wolford Fashion hosiery! You can save up to 40GBP!

If you are a fan of Silky products you can also check out the 10% off deal for all Silky hosiery products!
