Phillip Matignon Jade "Kiss Me Kate Tights" Fall's Highbrow Hosiery Trend

One of falls hottest hosiery trends are nude pantyhose! Yes, the nude leg is back! Thanks to The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton. The hottest trend in hosiery to cross the pond since the invention of NYLON...

Kate Middleton in Jade Tights

I have always leaned toward the patterned tights of the world, but there has always been room for the perfect pair of nude pantyhose. Something that accentuates the leg just enough to make your pins appear longer, especially if your on the shorter side like me. Then I always look for something so nude, that you can't tell that I am even wearing pantyhose, and if its for evening something with a little bit of a shine.

A pair of pantyhose or tights that incapsulates all of these qualitites are the Kiss me Kate or Jade Tights from the PHILLIPE MATIGNON brand. They add shine, and hide the fact that our legs are loosing the tan from the summer.

A trend so High Brow it made the New York Magazine Matrix

New-Gerbe Collant Kilim

These are brand new out of the package! I recently purchased them at the hosiery shop inside Penn Station, I know Penn Station but they are one of the only places in NYC that you can find this brand of hosiery. Gerbe is a French brand and is similar to Wolford. I have 6 pairs of this brand that I bought at Galeries Lafayette in Paris not Penn Station...

These tights are beautiful, the pattern is called Kilim . They have an all over folk art design on a sheer base. I find the pattern both exotic and exciting.

I always get asked how to wear a pattern tight with a patterned skirt. This is a nice example. This skirt looks like a cross between and ink blot and a watercolor, the skirt is from JCrew and no longer available. The structure to the pattern on the tights in a nice compliment to the abstract pattern of the skirt.
By pairing it with a plain top it makes your outfit seem less busy...

I recently came upon this posting at AlreadyPretty.com. I think this a great go to guide for anyone that might be nervous about wearing those great tights that have been hiding in your drawer.
