Goodbye Elephant Ankles! Falke Cotton Tights

As I told you the other day, I am obsessed with tights.  As a little girl, I had them in multi-hues and wore them daily with my little dresses and patent leather Mary Janes.  Nowadays, I throw them on with my platform Loubies or YSL booties and tiny skirts (pairing opaque tights with a micro mini skirt takes it from cheesy to stylish!)  I love Wolford but its tights are made for amazons, I am small so they sag around my ankles creating unsightly elephant ankles and I end up tugging them up my bum all day long, so annoying!  I have a few from Spanx that I love but just discovered Falke-- made of cotton, polyamide and elastane, these suckers will not sag!  They are also great for the warmer climates of California and Texas.  Falke also makes wool tights if you live in colder climate but they sound itchy to me.

  • I like dressing my little girl in tights, too. It's such a cute look. I like wearing tights now because I feel like my legs are jiggly.

  • Falke is AMAZING all of their tights..I always stock-up on them when I'm in Munich. They also have sheer ones and everytime I wear them no one believes that they're tights people always think they're my legs (even though the tights I get are 10 times darker than my natural color!).

  • FALKE is the best discovery I have made recently too!
    Their tights, socks, leggings EVERYTHING are beyond amazing. I have never had opaque tights actually turn my legs a solid opaque color until these tights.

  • Pauline-- I know what you mean. They don't have the weird variance in shade, just a solid color which is so fabulous!

    I have not tried the sheer ones, will need to get that next! Shopping is my crack!

  • Hi Tina! I saw that you mentioned how much you love tights, and wanted to tell you about a website I discovered last fall that has a great selection of them. It's www.mytights.com. I went a little nuts when I found the site and ordered twelve pairs! Oh how I love them :)
