Summer is finally upon us and it’s time to ditch those layers for something a little lighter. In terms of womens tights, what are the best things to look out for if you want to keep cool and comfortable all day long?
The main thing is the denier. This is the measure of the thickness of tights; the lower the denier, the thinner the tights, and of course thinner tights mean cooler legs. 20 denier and below is usually recommended for summer.
These days there are many features of tights which make them more suitable for warmer weather. M&S Bare tights which are 15 denier natural look tights have a built in cooling finish in the material which cools as you walk in them. Another feature is a breathable panty area, which can be found on Pretty Polly’s Natural Range tights, available in 8 denier and intended to keep you completely cool when the weather is warm. Pretty Polly has a great range of women’s tights that are ideal for summer wear.
Wearing sandals is a great way to keep cool in summer but you need not go tightless. Footless and sandal toe tights should be considered if you want to wear open toed shoes. There’s nothing worse than wearing sandals with tights covering the toes (apart from sandals with thick woolly socks of course!).
If you are looking to follow the trend of wearing coloured tights but think they are all too thick for summer, think again. Orablu All Colours is a range of coloured tights which are only 20 denier so great for summer.
The best tip is don’t just buy the cheapest low denier tights you see; shop around a bit and look for some of the features mentioned. You might have to spend a little more but it’s hard to put a price on keeping cool through the summer.

Finding the perfect evening dress can be one of the biggest challenges known to mankind (or more appropriately womankind). Before even starting the search you must clarify what the exact dress code is. For example you buy a beautiful (but pricey) ballgown for a Christmas night out and your colleagues all turn up in jeans. That’s not even the worst case scenario. Imagine you are at a wedding and have on the same frock as the bridesmaids.
Once you know how formal your dress should be then you can start with the fun. Depending on your figure there will be styles that suit and styles that you must shy away from. The strapless dress seems to be everywhere right now, with huge choice of fabric and colours. Perfect for a young slender girl, not so much for a more mature lady who enjoys frequent chocolate eclairs. If choosing strapless then a shrug or shawl may be a must. This can match your dress or be another colour and fabric. Other necklines with similar problems would include halterneck and those that expose your navel.
When deciding length it is important to bear in mind your own proportions. Long evening dresses tend to drown shorter women and conversely can be too short for taller ladies. Mini dresses are best left to those with short torsos (unless you are planning to stand on the spot all night and not attempt any stairs). Calf length evening dresses will make your ankles look bigger, irrelevant of how tiny they may actually be.
Whatever style of evening dress you prefer it is important to wear a dress that fits properly. Buy the size that fits the biggest part of you and get the rest taken in. Much preferable to shoehorning your way into a size smaller.

There are a few key items that every woman must have in her wardrobe. One that is near the top of the list, is a great jacket. This may seem like a simple item, but it is one of the pieces of your wardrobe that you will use the most. A top you will wear once a week, a jacket you will most likely wear every day of the week.
When it comes to womens jackets, you will find a variety of styles and colors. Depending on your body type, the style that best fits you will vary. Each cut, style, and color can change the way you look drastically. For example, if you are looking for broader shoulders, then go for a coat with large lapels, to accentuate the top half of your body. This will bring balance to your overall frame, in the event that you want to downplay your hips, and even out your weight.
Most fashion gurus will tell you a tailored jacket is also essential. It can shave off 10 pounds from your overall figure. It is worth taking your favorite coat to the semstress to get a coat that fits you perfectly.
