Walk the Line in Style!

The tights trend just won’t stop – and I’m okay with that. Well, at least I am after seeing the expansive selection of American Apparel legwear. With everything from sporty stripes to loud lamé, we’re talking something for everyone and every mood!

Go bold with the Opaque Two Color Pantyhose ($16) in dueling colors like teal and asphalt or even fluorescent yellow and coral. These are perfect for turning the little black dress into the ultimate party outfit.

There is something a little cheeky and even a bit naughty about these thigh highs. You don’t need lace and a garter belt to be sexy! And what’s even better about this style, is that you don’t get that awkward line around your waist. Try them colorful with stripes ($15) at the top or in a simple solid ($39 for a 3-pack).

She’s a maniac, maniac! Okay, so maybe you won’t be wearing these under an oversized sweatshirt with a side ponytail. More like with a long cashmere sweater and a beret? Just in time for Winter, the Baby Thermal Leggings ($26) will keep your booty warm for the shakin’!

Opaques, colors, and patterns! Oh my!

We know it isn't quite time for summer to wind down, but we're so anxious for fall. The crisp weather, the new color palettes...can you really blame us for thinking about our arsenal of cool weather looks so early in the game?

This season, it's all about color and texture and what better (and inexpensive) way to hit those trends than with tights. Already seen on the gaggle of starlets that seem to dictate our trends, tights were all over the F/W 2007 runway as well. From Marc Jacobs to Doo.Ri to Pringle, tights can be used as a great finish to a simple look. Think of them as the easy answer to looking extra-polished and pulled together. While some argue tights are hard to wear, we beg to differ. Here, we offer the rundown on wearing your tights:

- Blackout. Opaque black is always a great option. Perfect to have on hand for a job interview or funeral (hey, it happens), they can also be worn with a metallic dress for a night on the town or with a long chunky knit sweater and tall boots. Mix unexpected colors with black tights to keep from looking boring. This fall is all about jewel tones, so try magenta or teal. Don't reserve black tights for fancy events either: channel Audrey Hepburn by wearing them with a simple shift dress and plain flats for casual outings.

-Bright is right. We know it's a little kooky, but no one looks more fierce than the girl wearing bright tights as if they're basic suntan. This is ideal when sprucing up that infamous LBD that fits so well. Again, keep the colors new, by pairing your little black dress with colored tights like cobalt, royal purple and poppy. A round toe shoe finishes the look in a smart, trendy demeanor and leaves plenty of room to accessorize because the look is so chic and simple (but hardly boring).
