According to my daughter, anyone who is anyone wears Henry Holland tights and apparently they can be seen on the legs of the great, good and infamous of just about every continent.  What is so brilliant about them, in my opinion, is that they are so affordable that they aren’t just the preserve of the rich and famous and can be worn just as easily by you and me. Holland’s work has a young, fresh and exciting edge yet still has enough of a classic feel to be appreciated and worn by women of all ages.

I have several friends whose designer label buying habits have had to be severely curtailed by the recession.  Some of them re-invented themselves as Primark divas but a couple seemed to go into something of a decline without their regular designer fix.  When they discovered the joys of hosiery, it may not be going too far to say that Henry Holland tights  saved their sanity!  At last a celebrity endorsed designer label that wouldn’t break the bank (and lest we forget, looks pretty cool too!).  One enterprising (and it has to be said, also self-deluding!) friend of mine has actually turned buying designer tights into an act of pure frugality and commonsense, as she claims you save time, money and potential embarrassment when you buy Henry Holland suspender tights – you don’t have to buy a separate suspender belt, waste time fastening them or face the excruciating embarrassment and attendant twanging if your suspender belt decides to give up the ghost!

In these gloomy, recession hit days, where we all feel a bit anxious about enjoying ourselves or guilty if we spend on anything other than essentials, Henry Holland hosiery is a reminder that it’s okay to give yourself a little treat now and then and that scaling down your clothes budget doesn’t have to mean scaling down the style.
