Having been seeing a lot of swing girls at events wearing embellished stockings (remember Katie Anderson’s floral patterned stockings here?), I was delighted to stumble across Scottish company Bebaroque. I love the sailor blue pinup prints on opaque white tights!
They also have these cute opaque tights with bows – yes, the bows are on the tights, not the shoes:
Aside from how fun these can be, I think all lindy hopping ladies should have a pair of skin colored tights, a good pair of black hose, and a hot pair of fishnets in their wardrobe. You can buy your basics at a Nordstroms, Macy’s, Dillard’s, etc or for an emergency pair run to your local drug store. And if you feel like your underwear should go the extra distance of keeping your wobbly-bits in place, then you should get a pair of Spanx. No only do these body-shapers smooth everything out, but they hold you in!
So after scouring the internet for tights that I thought were super classy, here are some hot commodities:
