No tights with business attire, please. Puh-leeaas! I don’t care how popular they are right now, you can NOT wear tights to work. On the mannequin in this photo somebody made an effort to make these tights look more formal and dressy by putting them with a blazer. No way. That just does not work. Maybe for a party, but not for a work outfit. It doesn’t matter if you try to turn a pair of tights into a business casual outfit by wearing them with a suit jacket. It looks terrible. (I seldom use blogs to simply rant, but today I couldn’t hold it back.)

I agree with you. Looks horrible for a professional enviroment. It’s too casual.

By tights do you mean leggings or hosiery? Whats your definition of tights? I think Hosiery really steps up the outfit and makes it more formal in a way that the trendy tights/leggings lack. Could you be a bit more specific on your disdain?

I mean leggings.
I don’t get exactly what you mean – wanna submit a photo?

What you feature in the picture are not tights, they are leggings and I agree that they do not belong in the office. Tights, however, are opaque hosiery that for those of us who wear skirts during the winter are a neccessity.
