# Vegetable-Inspired Legwear The 'Negi-tai' Tights Take Inspiration from Green Produce By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-05-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-tights References: [en.rocketnews24](http://en.rocketnews24.com/2013/05/11/step-out-of-the-vegie-patch-in-a-pair-of-onion-tights/) These unusual [green tights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-luxury-tights) bear an uncanny resemblance to vegetables like the leek, radish or green onion. The tights fade from green to white and are styled with a dark leafy green skirt that just makes the association stronger. A Japanese café with costumed female servers, 'Koakuma no Utage Little BSD' came up with the idea and sold a small number of tights at 'Niconico Chokaigi 2.' Due to high demand for the tights, they will soon be offered on [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilda-tasty-sides). Although the unusually colored legwear is being marketed as 'Negi-tai,' or "green onion tights," commenters on Japanese video sharing site 'Niconico Douga' are defending which vegetable they think these tights were truly inspired by. What do you think -- leek, radish or green onion?
