obsession * footless tights

I generally like the idea of tights except that they can be, well, tight. When I wear tights they usually end up stretched out on one end and bunched on the other. Either direction they become quite uncomfortable.






















I was intrigued when i first saw footless tights at American Apparel and bought a pair strictly for their aesthetic value. To my surprise I was free of all of the problems i normally experience with tights. I think that normal tights make my feet feel like they are in jail so i mess around with them and end up twisting and pulling them into an unwearable fit. But in footless tights my feet are free! Now i can wear skirts in the winter without freezing to death. And when I wear them with my favorite wrap dress it is almost impossible to distinguish me from a ballerina.
