Leopard Print Tights by Wolford

Posted on | Leave a comment

Leopardtights

Of all the retro prints available in mainstream fashion, leopard print is the one that just isn't going anywhere. While it's much maligned by some, it's an ideal injection of rockabilly flair into any outfit. Especially in the case of these Leopard Print Tights by Wolford.

Made in the classic golden yellow and black, these are ideal for a modern take on fifties flair, allowing a hint of pinup style to be added to any outfit. Making a tricky print easy to wear, the tights definitely still pack some punch that will make a statement out of even the most demure outfit.

Among the choices of tops in vintage womenswear, the large majority take a formal vent with blouses being the most commonly seen option. For a genuine vintage-look aesthetic, this Silk Button Blouse by Queene and Belle is a great choice.

The shape and structure are instantly retro, with a high neckline that goes without a collar giving an early twentieth century aesthetic. The delicacy of the beading, crochet at the waist and covered button back all combine to create a look that works for a variety of retro looks from the 20s right up to 40s styles.

Yes, I know we featured one of these a short while back, but that was a model in need of full restoration. This Austin Mini Designer Mary Quant Edition has been full restored and is ready to go.

For the uninitiated, around 2,000 of these Mary Quant-designed Minis were made, a good number no doubt rusting away since the 1980s, so it's very much a case of future collectible we reckon. This one looks a real gem too.

The print is immediately sharp and sleek, reminiscent of a mid-sixties English style. The oversized, three quarter sleeved tunic style fits the era, with a mustard, cream and black colour palette providing some luxurious vintage chic.

While military influence in the sixties was often extreme and statement making, it's sometimes hard to incorporate such boldness into an every day wardrobe. For a more subtle take on the style, this classic Double Breasted Trench from Burberry Prorsum is a designer piece you can wear for any occasion.

The rich fabric carries this simple and timeless cut, giving a luxurious and feminine take on masculine detailing. The gold buttons and matching belt add structure and a sharp waist, while broad shoulders and an A-line skirt create an instantly retro silhouette.
