Tights are tight 

As soon as I get a hit of crisp air, or feel a leaf crunch unexpectedly under my boots, something in my body chemistry changes. I'm a New Yorker, born and raised upstate, and the fall has always been a time of great excitement for me. Even as a kid, I looked forward to beautiful orange and red trees, leaf piles, fresh apples and walks in the woods with my family. What I realize now, thousands of miles and many years away, is that I also always looked forward to fall clothing -- sweaters, jackets, and especially, tights.

Here at work I always suggest tights to customers looking to spice up an Andy skirt or add some texture to an Elise or Ginger dress. Tights are an easy and inexpensive way to change your look, and there are so many hosiery options out now that experimentation is part of the fun! Sure, a basic skirt looks beautiful with a pair of plain brown tights. But add a patterned tight or a delicate knit stocking, and the look totally changes.

At Sunhee Moon we carry EG Smith tights, which are super durable, one-size-fits-all, and come in a variety of colors. They're totally opaque, so even if you're wearing a tiny mini, you feel covered up and classy. My favorite combination so far has been the black Ginger dress with the purple EG tights. Or maybe the cranberry Ginger with the charcoal grey tights. Down the street at American Apparel they have American-made tights in any color imaginable, as well as a cool new African-inspired print (in black & white and black & red) that would look great with a little black dress for a night out.

Don't wait for Halloween to get creative with your wardrobe! Get out there and try some tights. Email us your favorite combinations with Sunhee Moon skirts or dresses! Be brave, stay warm, and enjoy the Autumn weather!
