The Leopard Life - Wolford Baloo Tights!

Tuesday 17 February 2015

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!

  6. Oh yes, I love Wolford tights. I also wear Falke, which are my goto at the moment. You can never have enough pairs of tights/hosiery. A brilliant pair, here! x

  8. Rockin those tights girl! I love Wolford too, I know they are expensive, but they last forever, which in the long run probably works out cheaper?!I have just picked up a Wolford tube dress at TK Max and that's incredible too....You can wear it in so many different ways, and again the fabric is sooh good!! xx

  10. Ohh I just love the print on these and definitely agree when it comes to investing in a good pair! I've always got my tights from BHS and they last a good month or so but rip pretty easily :( they're not that cheap either! But I might invest in a more expensive pair and see if they last longer as the amount I go through, it ends up the same price anyway! x
