Pink Tights – Compare and Buy Online
Tights are sheer, close fitting leg coverings worn by women of all ages. For many hosiery serves a purely functional purpose of keeping out the cold or covering legs one may not feel confident about revealing to the world and consequently black tights are the most popular colour sold, as black goes with almost everything. Yet whilst black tights are undoubtedly a classic wardrobe staple, tights in a variety of different colours have become increasingly popular.
Pink tights are probably best known for being worn by ballerinas, who tend to wear very pale pink tights with leotards or tutus when they are performing. However, during the 60s and 70s much brighter shades of hosiery became part of mainstream fashion, and one colour that enjoyed particular popularity was bright pink. There is even a famous 50s Broadway show called ‘The Girl in Pink Tights’, and a 60s film starring Sophia Loren called ‘Heller in Pink Tights’.
Though pink tights were not necessarily in vogue during the 80s and 90s, in the last few years they have experienced a huge resurgence in popularity. Neon pink tights have become an essential item for anyone wishing to embrace the ‘nu rave’ scene, which is characterised by fluorescent clothing and electro indie music. Pink tights have also been seen on celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Kylie Minogue and Juliette Lewis, and even featured on the catwalk as part of Emilio Pucci’s and Moschino’s recent collections. Deep pink and magenta shades of tights also appear to be popular with female singers, and have been worn by the likes of The Sugababes, Girls Aloud, and The Saturdays.
