The clocks go forward this weekend ladies; spring will have officially sprung!
Think long chatty evenings outside the pub and beautiful, bright mornings full of birdsong and hangovers. Bank holidays, street parties and actually wearing pastels; suddenly anything seems possible.
The only niggling concern is at the back of my mind is the fact that very soon, this week perhaps, I will have to part with my trusty black opaque tights for another six months.
Of course, there are lots of ways to move on from heavy tights: ankle-flashing trousers, bright printed denim or a flash of leg in a midi-length would be a start. Grey tights, navy even for slightly more cloudy days, would feel a bit more new season than the ol’ 40 denier.
Consolation comes on hearing the news that the men in our lives may soon be struggling with a similar affliction. Already a hit in Germany, Scandinavia and the States, tights for blokes or ‘Mantyhose’ are apparently gaining a silky foothold in the discerning but open-minded man’s wardrobe.
