Red Seamed Tights

Which red seamed tights should I choose?

The What Katie Did Contrast Seamed Tights Champagne/Red are inspired by 1950s stockings. The champagne leg looks natural, and the red seam and heel stand out clearly at the back of the leg, which gives a playful vintage look. The Giulia Love Chic Backseam Suspender Tights have a sheer backseam and a mock suspender design at the top of the thigh, so they give the look of seamed stockings and a belt in one garment.

How do I wear red seamed tights?

A red seam suits pin-up and 1950s outfits, swing dance nights, Christmas parties and Valentine's Day. Pair the What Katie Did style with red shoes or a red lip to pick up the seam colour. The Giulia style suits evenings with a fitted dress or a skirt with a slit. Keep the outfit simple so the seam is the main detail.

How do I keep the seam straight?

Put seamed tights on slowly, one leg at a time. Line the seam up with the centre of the heel before pulling them up, and check in a mirror before they reach the knee. It is much harder to straighten a seam once the tights are fully on. The right size helps, as tights that are too big are more likely to twist and pull the seam off line.
