Weekly Vibe #182

Hi friends!

It's has been a long time but.. welcome to Weekly Vibe #182! I'm sure you might have heard a little of what happened to me the past few weeks and adding into the mix that I had to pull a 6 day work week for 2 weeks and now I'm back in military outfit and will only be out of it by Friday this week and it has really bogged me down a fair bit blogging.. :X For the nice part I could hang out with my brothers whom I have served during the full-time service days and for another good part was that I passed my proficiency fitness test and got myself $200! :D

Regardless I still was doing the same, checking out hosiery and still wearing them as part of my outfit, recently I was recommended by a LAUF forum member to try seamless hosiery from China, named "Red Umbrella" for a moment I thought they were affiliated to the fictional Umbrella Corps from Resident Evil.. hahaha!

What I got were these seamless opaques that came in 3 denier series, 80 denier, 120 denier and 180 denier with footless, stirrup and footed configurations that came in 4 colours black, light, tan, and coffee brown. 

Here are some product pictures:

These were designed in mind for autumn and winter wear, they highlighted various issues on some conventional tights like visible reinforced panty, laddering, discomfort and snagging along with other issues that these marketed tights don't.

Other properties are the "apple hips" system which made these pair of tights some what waistband free, they keep you warm, the holes in the waistband give your waist ventilation, they are also elastic and stretchy as marketed.

One thing lacking information which made me consider ordering was sizing because nothing was mentioned on that part and the last time I ordered from another Chinese hosiery brand got me quite unimpressed in terms of quality but I decided to get these Red Umbrella seamless ones since they weren't that expensive US$7.30 a pair and it was getting 2 pairs for the price of 1 so I thought, why not? I got myself 2 pairs, 120 denier and 180 denier, I actually thought I got the 80 deniers one but I guess I didn't see clearly and locked in 180 denier instead.. but oh well! They took about a week or so to arrive. 

I only just got back home in the noon from my duty till 4am from my military duty and I was still severely lacking sleep, however getting these still got me pretty excited and I decided to try put on a pair first and since I was gonna wear a pair of tights for lightsaber class, might as well try these on first and perhaps wear them for class.. so I tried them on!

First impressions were that they were really soft and stretchy and they fit me well! And then I realised that the packaging did have sizing(Come on you should have put it up in your sales page!) It seemed like a 1 size fit all, hip sizing was 80cm - 120cm, Height was 140cm - 185cm and since I was somewhat in the middle size range, they fit well! And now for me was to wear them for a few more times and put it through my kind of trials before giving a review. 

Anyways if you are interested to check them out, they are on Taobao's Tmall page.

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

Have a blessed week ahead!

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!

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 #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?

Thanks for reading!

Weekly Vibe #156

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #156! Sorry for the 1 day delay as I was out the whole day on Monday and I was watching Hunger Games the Mockingjay Part 2 with a really awesome and sweet friend(also a Sith like me in our saber class) and we pretty much hung out the whole entire day! In fact our friend is going to probably be the face of some of our Street Legwear Fashion and Outfit of the Week posts! 

In fact I have decided to get it started, and since I wanted to try Fiore tights, I took the liberty of ordering 2 pairs of Fiore Olga 100 denier Opaque Microfibre Tights from Tights and More(one for me and for him.)

We are both really looking forward to getting them and it's my first ever order with Tights and More!

With winter here in the western hemisphere UK Tights official blog has featured Oroblu's Natural fibre series of hosiery check them out:

Natural Cotton Series

Natural Wool series

Natural Cashmere Wool series

Best part is they are already in stock!

In the run up to Christmas, our friends at UK Tights is having a special Everyday Offer!

And today they are offering Trasparenze's Wilma Tights and they are perfect for this winter season! 

However my favourite piece of news has got to be that UK Tights is have a special price deal(even more further discount) on Wolford 70 tights! 

I can't emphasize how much I really love these tights, they are really really awesome, UK Tights sent me them for Christmas last year and I am still wearing them(Heck I even wore them out yesterday!) and that's how good they are! I'd totally buy more of them if my budget really allowed for more!

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

Thanks for reading!

I believe this nice outfit belongs to one of our readers Rene Hache(I hope you don't mind mate!) well it's really a very nice outfit, I really like how he used blue to his advantage, blue checkered sweater, black shorts, blue opaque tights and high cut sneakers. I'd totally dig them! In fact actually checking out his Flickr page you'd find very good outfit ideas. Here are some I felt were great!

What do you think?

Weekly Vibe #151

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #151! I had to do a late night writing as I had work today(Monday) which I usually don't. Oh boy it's already November!? Damn! Each day is ending quicker each time when we are nearing the end of the year it seems! Last week we got pretty intense for our lightsaber battles and I got my 2nd finger on my right hand hurt bad, contact on that finger would hurt quite a bit but yes I would like to share the lightsaber staff battle I did on the 25th October(I also did one yesterday too but the video isn't uploaded yet)

I'm still pretty new at this concept of fighting with this, as you can clearly see I'm wearing black opaque tights here, no one really cares.. well perhaps because it's black? Well I did have one or two asking me why I wear them and I answer them, I like the support on my legs and I'm used to having my legs concealed as well adds to that "Sith" feel. Lol!

I totally missed out on Halloween but we celebrated a fellow lightsaberist friend's birthday and had lotsa fun shooting nerf guns(and with our lightsabers of course!) and got him a special Star Wars First Order trooper nerf blaster!

Always nice to put a smile on a friend's face!

I have been preparing for my cosplay on Star Wars' premiere day, and yes you don't need to guess what I'm going to be.. I'm going to be a Sith Lord based on Star Wars The Old Republic and I'm just short of a few things I'm good!

I sure hope you guys had fun this Halloween! Looks like UK Tights is having a special Bonfire Night promotion of 15% off on of their opaque hosiery collection!

Looks like Falke has just released a new line of their hosiery and MyTights have started selling Falke's new Leg Aesthetics Range!
'

Looks like they do have everything covered!!

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

Thanks for reading!

Outfit of the Week #92

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #92! Apologies for not posting last week as I was away for my military tour of duty for 2 weeks. Instead of looking at an outfit we will be featuring styles from Nuno Gama.

Outfits were featured in Nuno Gama Fall/Winter collection 2015

Good to see that tights are really getting endorsed more and more by fashion designers! If you actually checked out Nuno Gama's Fall/ Winter collection, If you actually took notice 90% of their outfits had all tights in them and some even sans shorts! Like these!

Woot!

Nice hats and traditional style by a Portuguese fashion designer, maybe I should get myself a few of those nice hats for my outfits! I really like the entire collection and are very good inspirations for outfits at least for me! What do you think?

Thanks for reading!

Outfit of the Week #85

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Outfit of the Week #85! This week we are featuring this outfit!

Photo from Tights4MenTumblr page

This is one very casual yet a safe outfit to wear, I'm liking the clean looking white shoes, very nice black and white combination going on there! The black opaques I feel really completes the look there! This is a great daily casual outfit to wear! Depending on where you get them, And it seems like everything on our model wouldn't set you aside too much cash and I think it's pretty affordable as well! I believe this outfit is also a good start for men wanting to try out tights with shorts! I don't see why not!

I'm like totally on for this outfit, what do you guys think?

Thanks for reading!

Weekly Vibe #119

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #119! How time flies and we are already in March!! Unfortuately I had to spend the first day of March working on a Sunday... well I believe some of our friends here also work on a Sunday as well... so why am I complaining? Oh wells.. :X 

Well anyways something really interesting happened, well I always made it a habit to wear my tights for work on Sunday.. well with shorts of course! I didn't have to do much on a Sunday as all I needed to do was watch the little shop from 10am to 6pm. But anyways! One of the neighbours next to my little shop noticed something, she stared at my legs and she said.. well in mandarin "Ohh! Men's pantyhose?" I was really laughing it out in my heart because I always wore them and you finally noticed them!! Haha! and of course I nodded. I was kinda intrigued that she didn't notice them all the past 2 years... incredible! 

I happened to be wearing the amazing black Cette Dublin Tights which PantyhoseHQ kindly sent to me a while back ago I have also written a review on them as well. If you are looking to buy them, UK Tights are fully stocked with all sizes and colours.

I also hope you guys already made good use of the UK Tights' 10% off code!! Because it already expired as of the 28th of February!! :( Well if you haven't it isn't so bad as UK Tights is having a special Mothers' Day free gift with any orders over a certain amount!

The catch is it ends on the midnight(UK time) 3rd of March! So start shopping! 

Wolford fans anyone here? I know I'm one! Tightsplease is having a Flash sale on their Wolford collection with up to 30% off! 

Be quick as I really have no idea when it ends.. probably just a week! Get cracking!

Well that's all I have for you! Time for me to get to the gym soon!

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 #97

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to the 97th edition of Weekly Vibe! I personally was starting to sink in that time really flies and we are in late September! My memory of doing all of the Vertical Marathons last year were still very fresh like as if it was just last week. But anyways that means that Christmas is coming! I'm so looking forward to it!

Today as I was preparing for the Outfit of the Week post, I stumbled upon a popular Hong Kong TV celebrity named Raymond Lam and here are some photos of him

Well why am I featuring him? Well other than his talents of acting, singing and perhaps looking good(lol) is that he has worn tights with his outfits!

In last week's Outfit of the Week, I featured a Korean K-pop idol in an outfit which featured him with tights and truth to be told, celebrity fashion really makes an impact in the mainstream, with more celebs like Raymond Lam and JYJ along with people like you and me, legwear fashion for men will soon become a norm. I personally also have been noticing many guys are spotting footless tights with shorts too in the streets I don't see how difficult it can be! 

Well that's all I have for you this week! Keep on your tights!

Thanks for reading!
