Taking a break from what kind of legwear we're seeing on the runways, I wanted to take a quick look at what they're being paired with. Often it's a dress or skirt. Sometimes, you can see hosiery underneath pants. And sometimes it's a pairing of tights under shorts.
At both New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week we've seen this pairing quite often. Usually the tights are solid black, or sheer black pantyhose. Occasionally there's a spot of color or pattern to them. Shorts vary from denim shorts with tights to dress shorts or leather shorts; long, short - there are a lot of different ways this style can be worn.

It goes without saying that legwear looks great on most people. Kudos to StockinGirl for showing the world.
I'm surprised nobody has commented here yet.
Guys like the look on ladies, just ask them!
