The Joys of Commando Hosiery!

October 25, 2009 by Krista

commando hosiery I recently told you about the great new hosiery options at Bare Necessities for fall. I mentioned my excitement about Commando venturing into the world of hosiery. I assumed that their tights would be great based on the impeccable design talent that created their legendary thong . Now I can tell you that they actually are! I tested out the tights the other day and I am totally hooked! I can confidently say these are the most comfortable and flattering pair of tights I have ever worn.

My favorite part of the tights is the waistband. In true Commando form, the wide, laser-cut waistband lies flat against your body leaving no lines under your most snugly fitting dresses eliminating those unsightly bulges that typical, elastic band tights leave. The tights themselves are soft, smooth, and sleek. To add a little pizzazz, the waistbands of the black and brown tights are not only available in solids, but in paisley as well. My wish is that the hosiery will be so successful that they branch out into patterns, textures, and more.

Retailing at $34 (and worth every penny!), Commando hosiery is available online at Bare Necessities and on the Her Look website.

The Best of Hosiery for Fall at Bare Necessities!

October 5, 2009 by Krista

We’ve posted in the past about the leading role that hosiery is taking in the intimate apparel world. No longer is hosiery just pantyhose! Today, hosiery can cover the gamut from colorful to muted or from textured to smooth. Regardless, hosiery is one of the new ways to add flair to a fashionable wardrobe both outside and inside the bedroom.

Bare Necessities has done a great job compiling their Top 10 Hosiery picks featuring the best of the best from sheer and smoothing to opaque and shaping styles. Featuring brands like Hue, Wolford, SPANX, DKNY, and more, there is something for everyone this fall. Reflecting the trends on the runway, many tights and leggings this season have an 80s feel with prints, patterns, and colors reminiscent of that era. In a more classic vein, textures and patterns take center stage featuring chevrons, herringbones, plaids, and argyles (one of my favorites!). See below for a sampling of styles available this fall and know that there are plenty more where those came from!

Fortunately for all of us (and all of our budgets), Bare Necessities is an equal opportunity provider of trends at all price points. And, of course, you can’t be the free shipping with orders over $100! With over 250 styles to choose from, you are bound to find something perfect for you. New styles are added frequently and others are frequently on sale, so check back often.

Speaking of new styles, those of you who love Ed Hardy & Christian Audigier will be happy to know that an assortment of hosiery from both brands will be hitting the site very soon along with my personal favorite. I’m overjoyed that none other than Commando has launched into the hosiery world with laser cut waistband, opaque tights! The same innovative elements of Commando underwear is now featured in a variety of tights! Currently, Bare Necessities is selling the Matte Opaque Tights. Not only can you choose from black or brown tights, but also choose from a solid or paisley print waistband.

Happy shopping!

New Commando for Fall

October 1, 2009 by Krista

You’ve been hearing for years just how much I love Commando Intimates – my no-VPL go-to brand. I was most recently excited about the addition of their cotton collection. Now, I’m excited to share about the new, fashion forward additions for fall. Not only can you have a smooth fit under your slinkiest skirts and clingiest dresses, but you also can have a little fun with it! The fall and holiday prints are just another reminder as to why wearing Commando is so much better than going commando!

The soft lace collection, available in stores now, includes thongs, bikinis, high-rise panties, camis and a great new mid-length a-line slip with commando’s patent-pending weighted hem. Personally, I love the touch of glamour and sophistication that the lace adds.

The swiss dot collection and the holiday lace collection, both be available later this fall, are a fun and festive way to heat things up as it gets colder outside.

Commando is available at retailers worldwide and on the herlook.com website (with some other great treats as well!).
