An ode to black tights:

Last night, the internet was up in arms about a @Guardian piece on the social politics of #blacktights. Put simply: if you’re rich, you can afford taxis and tans. If you’re normal, you cover up your sins with 60 deniers – something shameful and best avoided as long as possible.

In principle, the author is right – it is about priorities, but for most women, I have a feeling it’s about how much they prioritise something she skims over: hair removal. For many, autumn is a joy accompanied by a ceremonial putting down of razors, of dropping the pretence that we are hairless creatures.

I’m a winning combination of dark-haired and deathly pale. To me, and many others, tights do have a political subtext, because the personal is political. Tights are inextricably intertwined with our self-confidence, they are a comfort blanket against an unfair world that doesn’t see our natural bodies as beautiful. And they’re warm!

So, when is it socially acceptable to wear black tights? I’m more concerned with when it’s going to be socially acceptable to let women’s bodies just be – but until then, wear black tights whenever the mood takes you. – words @emmahopeall #dazedinstastory ? Silva + Cemin @rodolfocemin
