Gorgeous Stocking-Clad Gams

The Falke Spring 2012 Collection is Sophisticated and Sweet

— October 26, 2011 — Fashion
Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, might have brought the nude stocking back into fashion, but that doesn't mean other patterned stockings are being tossed to the side, as demonstrated by the Falke Spring 2012 collection. Moving away from the cutesy designs that were prevalent before the Duchess was seen donning much more reserved stockings, this line strikes a balance between the two.

Although very much flirty and sexy, the Falke Spring 2012 collection is also refined and elegant. With a mainly earthy tone palette, the prints and patterns are rather subtle due to a softer contrast between sheer and opaque elements. These chic stockings would make a great addition to any colder winter outfit, and are sure to impress any onlooker.
Trend Themes
1. Patterned Stockings - The trend towards patterned stockings has been reinvigorated by the Falke Spring 2012 collection.
2. Subtle Contrasts - The Falke Spring 2012 collection showcases how subtle contrasts between sheer and opaque elements can create a refined and elegant look.
3. Sexy Elegance - The Falke Spring 2012 collection combines flirty sexiness with refined elegance to create a unique style.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion designers could consider incorporating subtle contrasts and patterned stockings inspired by the Falke Spring 2012 collection in their own apparel lines.
2. Hosiery - The Falke Spring 2012 collection disrupts the hosiery industry by introducing a new range of patterned and subtly contrasted stockings.
3. Retail - Retail stores can follow the Falke Spring 2012 collection's lead by adding a range of subtly patterned, elegant stockings to their inventory in the colder months.
