Do you remember white tights

I've always had very slim legs.
Claire Rayners body on Twiggys legs, as my "friend" informed me.

It’s true they made your legs look fat. I think that’s why we all adopted the pigeon toe stance for photographs.

I wore mine with black patent leather, round toed shoes a burgundy tweed effect mini skirt and a black skinny rib polo neck jumper. This was in the mid sixties when Twiggy had just arrived.

I love that word: ecru.
Like a milky, creamy,beige.
Ecru.

I wore ‘Ecru’ coloured tights. Funny how I remember the name of that colour 55 years on.

And black nail polish - I had long strong nails (still have but I like them snipped and coloured like Smarties nowadays). The black nail polish wasn’t available locally (not even Biba on Oldham street in Manchester!). I had to send away for it with a postal order. It was made by Woltz Italiana.

I’m a mine of useless information…..

Are we around the same age, batty?
My mum wouldn't allow me anything too trendy.

Barleyfields, I also wore white lacy tights in the 60's before I was a teenager. I felt so grown up. I don't know if I've dreamt this, but I'm sure I had white lace gloves to match too.

I vaguely remember wearing white tights. I definitely remember wearing platform shoes though. And corduroy bell bottoms

I went through a stage in my teens of wearing thick white tights, and my favourite ones had holey patterns up the sides.

I went to a club wearing my tights and a black, long jumper (nothing else!) and won a prize for best dressed clubber.

Yes, I had white lacy tights in the 60s, and some very pale Mary Quant ones.

I had some white tights when I was about 12/13. I wore them proudly, with a pair of wet look sock things that you wore inside shoes to convert them into boots . I'm sure they were as bad as they sound, but (a) it was the early 70s, so worse was yet to come, and (b) if you can't indulge in crimes against fashion at 13, when can you?

Fortunately, no photos of these monstrosities exist.

There were also green and orange tights, to be honest American tan tights were pretty much orange anyway.

My Saturday job was in the haberdashery dept. of the local Co-op department store. I lusted after the Cream Soda tights, because I had to wear American Tan tights as part of my school uniform. My mother wouldn't allow them.
I think they were made by Berketex

Reading the handbag thread, brought back memories of the leather handbags and gloves they sold in the same dept. Think of the queen.
My job was to dust the bags, I thought they looked so sophisticated.

I wore white tights though they made my legs look fat. I also had white lipstick as I recall together with thick black eyeliner and false lashes.

Yes! Dad said I had legs like chalks!

I am a late 50’s baby and can remember my mum wearing white tights and white shiny knee high boots.

The shiny knee high boots would possibly be ‘wet look’ boots. I wore red wet look hot pants with a green apple on the bib.
Things were a bit kinky back then 😆
