LONGUETTE MANIA: What is it and how to match it
In fashion as we know, we have fun changing names to classics. It happened with the fuseaux of the 80's that became leggings and it happens with the tights “Parisian-effect” that we call today longuette .... (yes, like it happened with skirt, this is also a mystery of fashion). We are talking about a tight that cover up to the knee and become velvety in the thigh, reproducing the optical effect of a Parisian tight worn over a sheer tights.
Further review: do we all know what a Parisian tight is? It's a stocking longer than a knee-high but shorter than a hold-up tight, which comes right there, above the knee.
Once it's clear what we are talking about, let's see how to match this tights that have become the must-have of the season because it thins and slinging your legs.
- RULE # 1 - COMBINE WITH MINI-SKIRT, MINI-DRESSES, SHORTS, so that the effect is as clear as possible. So, let’s go with the skinny jeans short skirt or the wheel mini-skirt, in both cases the look is super fussy. All shorts are well-liked by the classic in jeans to very trendy velvet this season, the plus idea is to dive with high waist to create an interesting mix of proportions.
- RULE # 2 - THE LONGUETTE THIGHTS IS BLACK! to match with black, white and all shades of gray, just the exception of jeans. Funny idea of matching the longuette stocking with black and white striped sweaters to match the game of contrasts that are created in the thigh.
- RULE # 3 - SLIM VS. EXTRA-SIZE. Funny to match the longuette tights with the long-sweater or a large waistcoat dress. And if we are fan of the full-slim look the coat must absolutely be over.
The longuette pantyhose can be combined with all kinds of shoes, lace-up shoes, boots, ankle boots, tight heels, wide heels.
Finally, the golden rule that we have learned now ... the secret is always having fun and feeling comfortable.
