I actually built the outfit that i wore this day around my tights from We Love Colors. In case you are unaware, We Love Colors is an online clothing company that was founded in 2003 as a family-run business. They specialize in tights, leggings, fishnet pantyhose, patterned tights, thigh highs, knee highs, socks, gloves, laces, mini dresses, fishnet bodywear, dancewear and plus sized hosiery. In their inventory they have 51 solid colors (recently added 6 more colors!) and 13 fun splash colors. They are made for men, women and children.  They have supplied dance tights for a number of  Broadway musicals including Rent and Thoroughly Modern Millie.  They’ve also appeared in major magazine fashion spreads and on National Television.

When I tried on their tights, they were really comfortable.  They stretched where I wanted them to and moved where I moved. Usually when I try on some tights, plus size really means one size fits all but not in this case.   I was impressed with the fit and how they didn’t bunch up when tried on.

So my final verdict are that they are comfortable, reasonably priced, fits to true form and keeps you warm. On top of that, there are many colors to choose from and they encourage you to try different colors out, try them with a skirt or under some jeans.

Here’s the best part………..

We Love Colors has agreed to give 2 of our readers a pair of tights and it’s really easy to enter this giveaway.

1)  Head over to the We Love Colors site and pick out your favorite item.

2) Come back to Daily Venus Diva.com and comment on this post letting us know which We Love Colors item is your favorite.
