I would say that most fifty one year old men don't walk into a department store and buy a pair of hot pink tights to take home and wear when no one else is around. I did.
I walked into a Target store to see what kind of colored leg ware, if any, they had. I was shocked to see that they offered several colors. They had hot pink which immediately caught my eye, but they also had coral and a couple of blues, including teal, that I didn't think I'd ever be able to buy off the rack. Thank you xdress17. Thank you for turning me onto Target.
I bought tights last fall and winter. The last time I had checked in Target was back in February and they had been picked through and there wasn't much left. Now, I could tell that they had re-stocked with different colors and they were almost all gone. I don't imagine that they will add new colors and styles in the summer. But before you know it, it'll be fall once again.
In the course of two days, I bought four pairs of colored tights from a Target store. The big disappointment was that they only offered their tights in a capri or footless style. They didn't have any that covered the entire foot. The only options were the capri and the footless styles. Over the course of the next two days, I bought four pairs of Xhilaration tights. Four colors in two different styles. Capri and footless. Honestly, I was disappointed. I wanted to show my legs and feet in full colored tights.
First I bought a pair of the hot pink ones. Since they were "capri", I didn't know how well they would fit. So, I just bought the one pair. I took them home and tried them on. If they didn't fit well, I didn't want to have to go through the hassle of returning the others. I was pleasantly surprised. They fit just as well as if they were "footless". So, I went back the next day and bought two other colors. The next day I stopped at a different Target store to see if they by chance had any additional colors. Sure enough, they did.
They had the colors, just not the full footed tights that I had hoped for.
It's nice to know that there is a store that sells colored tights.
In case you're wondering, I was wearing the hot pink tights when I took this picture. That's why you only see three pairs of tights. I was wearing the fourth.
These are "Snazzy Pink" Capri Xhilaration tights.
Have you ever worn Hot Pink tights?

The next color that I bought was in a "footless" style.
These are called, "Brazil Turq" Footless Xhilaration tights. Once again, they aren't fully footed, but they are a very sexy color.
What do you think?

Target is by far the best place to get tights. They have almost any color you can think of, and usually many different patterns. Not so much in the summertime though. Great pics by the way!
You are welcome my friend about the Target tip, and I love the colors you chose. I prefer to have fully footed tights myself, there is something about the feeling of encasement I enjoy. I did notice you had your L'eggs underneath so that was great to see you layering, which I always heartily endorse :-)
I have never tried hot pink or neon pink tights before. I did have some soft pink tights many years ago which were fun to wear, especially with black cfm pumps.
And thank you MC for the tip on George tights, I have been enjoying my black pairs a lot. xo Jaime
