Besides for the fact that all the cool kids are doing it? Here's why:

• They're slimming:  Black = slim, and tights are no exception. Black tights automatically make your legs look slimmer.
• They elongate your legs: Especially when paired with black shoes, they make your legs look like they just keep going, making you look taller. Going totally monochromatic, while possibly slightly morbid-looking when that color is black, heightens the effect.

Time to bring black tights out from their exile and place them back on the fashion pedestal right next to their bolder, patterned counterparts. Check out a few of your best options here!

After years of watching women adapt men's fashions to suit their own, men have finally decided to fight back. Women have taken pants, ties and oxfords from men... now men have taken tights from women and superheroes. Meggings, as the male leggings are commonly referred to, first showed up on overseas catwalks in 2007 but have since gained rapid popularity. At least when women make the mistake of thinking leggings are pants, they wear longer tops over them. The trend for men seems to be to wear them in a manner akin to ultra tight jeans.

 

Something tells me you wouldn't catch any of these men wearing a baseball cap, sitting at a football game and chugging beer....

Have you been throwing out your pantyhose after they run? Check out this video for a list of innovative uses for pantyhose that are no longer fit to be worn.

Gabbie started out as a replacement sock for a Knees and Toes employee whose rainboots just weren't able to hold up to the rigors of international travel. Walking in Ben Yehuda in Jerusalem on a rainy evening, the aforementioned employee noticed that her feet were getting wetter and wetter with each step she took. Confused by this state of affairs, having thought that rain boots would protect her feet from the rain rather than bathe them in it, she decided to purchase a new pair of socks to replace her now soaking wet ones. (She later found out that the rubber soles of her boots had literally cracked in half, leaving her to walk along the rainy streets in the cotton bottom, but that has no bearing on our story.) She picked up the first pair of socks she found, not bothering to do any intense interviewing, and so the pink sock we now know as Gabbie was one step closer to her dream. The sock was then relegated to the bottom of the sock drawer and forgotten about. When the idea of creating a sock puppet first arose, the cute little pink sock was retrieved from her ignominious position as a sock drawer filler and given a complete makeover. She was then presented to the Knees and Toes fans and given the name Gabbie. She is so excited to be joining the Knees and Toes team as their new mascot and can't wait to acquaint herself with all our fans and customers. Become her friend on Facebook now.

Kneelee joined the Knees and Toes team after a brief stint as a sample sock. "The sample sock career just wasn't challenging enough for me." She told interviewers. "I didn't feel as though my talents were being utilized to their utmost. I was being wasted." She has always been interested in PR and was absolutely ecstatic when she was chosen to be the Knees and Toes mascot. She had applied for the mascot position at numerous other legwear stores, but she never quite felt comfortable until now. After trying an endless number of different hair styles, makeup styles and accessories, she finally settled on her current look. Cutting her hair was a bit traumatic, she admits, but she thinks it will be better for her image in the long run. "Signing the contract with Knees and Toes is a HUGE step for me. I couldn't be happier with the way my career is going right now." She told interviewers last week. You can become her friend on Facebook by clicking here.
