Bold, graphic stockings are an ever-popular design trend and this season is no exception. The new twist for spring, however, is hosiery with geometrically inspired patterns. Both Falke and Wolford showcase tights with stylized lines and diamonds as part of their new collections. However at $45.00 and $31.00 USD a pair, respectively, it’s kind of hard to see myself indulging this fad.

So what’s a suitable alternative? How about these tights from U.K. intimates manufacturer, Charnos? On the left are the Stripe Net tights, retailing for only £6.00 (approximately $8.66 USD), and on the right are the Mesh Hexagon tights, selling for only £6.50 (approximately $9.30 USD). Keep in mind that until Monday at midnight, Figleaves is selling all their merchandise at 20% discount, so, if you hurry, you can buy these tights for significantly less than the regular price.





















I’ve been reasonably happy with my Charnos purchases. I may need to give these a look.
