At the Worn Fashion Journal SOL(e)D fundraiser in Toronto, ladies rocked some hot leggy looks this year.
Many girls had their own take on leg wear that perfectly matched their outfit.
There were all sorts of textured and colored hosiery, as well as cut out fashion detailing in boots and tights.
My favorite are the tights that were plain in the front but had the patterned surprise on the back.
Hot!
Implications - Covering up continues to be a fashion movement that many people are appreciative of. As opposed to the overly conservative designs of the past, new fashions like these sheer leg tights offer modern women a balance between conservative fashion and style, without having to cover up altogether. Businesses that create designs that represent modern women's needs will be seen as compromising and fresh.
