The Look for Less: Wolford/Giorgio Armani

While I was on my 3 month European excursion last year, I bought a lot of hosiery. It was so bad that I was detained by customs for a minute because they wanted to make sure I didn’t plan on opening a hosiery business once I returned to the U.S.

One of the pieces I bought was a limited edition Giorgio Armani for Wolford pair of tights. I’ve not been able to find a photo of them to show you, but now I don’t have to because Italian hosiery manufacturer Transparenze is selling the exact same tights for a lot less money.

They’re also selling these hold-ups which remind me a lot of another pair of stockings I’ve seen…perhaps from the French brand Love Me?

At any rate, these are both gorgeous seasonal pieces with limited stock, so if you like, I’d recommend picking them up from Stockings Direct ASAP.

    How much do you have to buy before they start wondering if you're starting a hosiery business?

    This is where you need a traveling companion — someone willing to carry some of your purchases in his/her luggage for you.

    Can't blame you. The selection over in Europe is oh-so-much better.

    I'd want to bring it all home too!
