If there is one thing I love, it's nylon tights. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the American Apparel and H&M decoupage tights and metallic trims and liquid leggings and whatever else. I do not discriminate. However, there is something about a nicely ripped nylon that kinda turns me on in no other way. Here is your tutorial for the day!Ripped nylons are quickly coming back in style. I mean, I guess they never left if you shop at Torrid and Hot Topic (I almost just threw up typing that, btw) but high fashion has been getting ripped lately as well. You have to be VERY careful in how to achieve this look because you definitely do not want to be looking like something a rat crawled out of.
So, take your standard nylon tight...and put it on! Easy right? Right. Now you can do one of two things, or both, as I like it. Take a knife or scissors, or sharp-edged something and GENTLY drag it along the nylon. You will have to pinch up a bit of it off your leg as to not cut yourself. PLEASE be careful when doing this, I trust we are all capable adults here. Just a small incision will do as a nice oval shaped tear will form. These can be done anywhere but the best parts are the upper thighs. Now slide your fingers through the tear and put some strain on the nylon, pulling it up a bit. You will notice that runs start to form. Keep pulling it until you've reached your desired run length.
If you prefer not to have holes and just runs, then you might have to do some between-the-legs maneuvering and pull on the nylon from inside until it's stretched and runs.
Have fun with this look and pair it up with a cute dress and blazer, or cardigan. I just love mixing trends! But please do not slip cut off denim shorts on top! That look is so passe you might as well be sporting a denim mini-skirt and Ugg boots!
