The Leopard Life - Wolford Baloo Tights!

When it comes to tights, stockings and socks, it doesn't get much more luxurious than Wolford. If I was a rich girl I'd wear nothing else, and if you've ever tried them yourself I think you'll know what I mean. Some friends have asked me exactly what is so special about them, and the answer is simple, quality and one of a kind styling!

This 'Baloo Sahara' style (£35) was my first pick when Wolford offered to treat me last year. They may not be the most expensive or the flashiest from their huge range, but I adore the black cheetah print on nude, they fox up a plain black outfit with ease. Or in this case, a totally over the top leopard loving number! Yup, I couldn't resist. 

Outfit: Jumper - Wildfox, Skirt - Topshop, Tights - c/o Wolford, Boots - c/o F&F

I love how natural the base colour is, it just lets your skin colour show through but in my extremely pale case, it still gives my pins a bit of a glow. They look sheer, but are actually quite hardy, unlike the high street copy I laddered just by looking at them ;)

I can't rave about Wolford enough. Yes they can be expensive but like all high end designer goods, it's all in the details. I've got a few hosiery pieces of theirs now (the fabulous shapewear and clothing still escapes me), some I've had for over 3 years and still show minimal signs of wear. They are built to last and are worth a thousand pairs of £3 high street tights. It's all about the knitted waistband, the robust seams, the amazing springback in the stretch and of course, the designs, so if you are thinking of investing then I say do it, but be prepared to side eye every other pair of tights in your drawer afterwards!
