I am obsessed, and I mean obsessed with the Chanel two-toned opaque tights from the Fall/Winter 2008 collections, and are even more in love with the sheer version that paraded down the spring 2009 runways this season. As far as practicality goes, the thicker version is more appropriate for the wind-tunnel gusts and frosty New York winter, but shall we dare pay the price tag — that soar above $200 for these babies? You know the answer to that. You can get the best of both sheer and opaque worlds via these Either Or Tights for a whopping $14 at Urban Outfitters. They’reĀ sure to fit my desire for the trend, as well as my budget! Okay, so they don’t have the chic littel “double C” logo across the ankle, but I am willing to spare a few hundred for that, don’t you think a more worthy investment might be to get a cute new outfit to accompany the tights instead?
