This fall, there is definitely a sense of covering up
from head to toe. However, this does not mean that you
have to sacrifice wearing your favorite dresses and
skirts. The lifeline of your dress is extended when
paired with opaque tights for the perfect leg coverage.
Opaque tights continue to be an essential fall fashion
accessory, perfect to use as a layer to achieve that
classic, yet updated layered look. A major trend for
fall 2008 is simple dress silhouettes done in optic
color palettes and graphic, bold patterns, resulting
in a new twist on mod. The silhouettes are returning
to more body-conscious and slimmer lines. To ensure
a smooth fit under these ready-to-wear clothes, try
the new Go
Figure® 0A862 Smoothing Pantyhose with Sheer Leg
or 0A863
Smoothing Pantyhose with Energizing Leg styles.
The comfortable compression andminimal
seam construction of the toner panty will help you appear
"body-conscious and slimmer" as well.
Silhouettes
for Fall are extremely simplistic, there is great emphasis
on bright color blocking, bold prints and patterns in
dresses and tops which brings interest to the leg. The
0A791 Pinstripe achieves
this look with its unique openwork patterned background
accented with
exaggerated pinstripes of corresponding fashion color.
Also, look for saturated black opaques in addition to
neutral leg palettes of grey and browns. Or, for a minimal
look with a little texture, the 0A790
Rib Texture is the perfect vertical rib texture
that gives the opaque leg a lengthened,
elongated
look. Knitwear and sweater-like materials continue to
be a basic fabric choice and total wardrobe statement-
from head to toe. The sweater coat, dress and jacket
are key fashion items. High profile textures include
ribs, cables and novelty stitches. Hanes® Fashion

Sweater Crochet
openwork knit tight with luxurious yarns is the perfect
legwear option to achieve this cozy all over knitwear
look.
Another trend this fall season is one of luxurious feminine
styling. This customer can enjoy a grand entrance this
season with styling reminiscent of old time Hollywood
glamour from the 20s, 30s and 40's. The mood can be
best described as absolute power and confidence! Think
Katherine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich as inspiration
for this high end inspired story, as told through plaids
and herringbones in rich, luxe fibers and materials.
Graphic Art Deco patterns make a comeback alongside
show-stopping satins, sparkles, flapper-styles and long
leather gloves. The 0A793
Floral Jacquard is a perfect addition to
achieve this look, with its tarnished metallic patina
leg with an all over romantic floral jacquard pattern.
Also, the 0A795
Legging with Lace Trim is an opaque legging
with a feminine detailed lace leg band for a more femme,
ballet- inspired look. From very chic minimal, to layering
with comfy, oversized knits, one message is obvious:
being cozily covered from head to toe is in!
