Colourful Tights and Socks – Tabio, American Apparel, Pamela Mann and Jonathan Aston
Posted by Rebekah Roy on January 17th, 2008
I have always loved colourful shoes and tights. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s because I have small feet (size 37) and ok legs. Lately I’ve been very happy that I can buy colourful tights anywhere. I’ve always had to go to a stall at either Camden or Portobello market to find bright crazy colours & patterned tights from Jonathan Aston or Pamela Mann. Also, when ever I go to another country I’m always looking for great hosiery. I got some great socks in Amsterdam, and I love Paris for hosiery. For the past few seasons hosiery has become an essential part of mainstream fashion so it’s much easier to find. In London I like to go to Tabio or American Apparel and sometimes I’ll go to the hosiery department at John Lewis. I have so many kinds of socks; stockings, tights, short socks, 80’s disco thigh highs from Portobello market. The only socks that I’m not too keen on are toe socks; I find them so uncomfortable and hate how they look!
