The Typofiles #58: American Apparel Sheer Luxe Shapes Pantyhose
I just discovered the American Apparel Sheer Luxe Shapes Nude / Black Punctuation Pantyhose and they are like a total dream come true! These are super lightweight and allow your natural skin tone to show through. Since I’m not big on the bare legs look, I will surely be sporting these all spring and summer under shorts and dresses. From far away, they make your legs look like someone went Sharpie crazy…which isn’t a bad thing, is it?!

They look a bit like a comic book villain’s tights, but in a good way!

Though they’re a bit expensive for what I think tights should be, I’m sorely tempted to get them just because– look at them! I agree with Vanessa, if I were a comic book villain, I’d totally sport those.

So you! What a great find.

They’re adorable! I really want them in the black with black punctuation, but if I’m going to spend $25 on a pair of stockings then I want to make sure they’re good quality. I haven’t been able to check them in stores yet, but how do you think they’re quality is? Reviews said rips. I’m cautious but please tell me if they’re absurdly fragile!

Oh man! They are great. American Apparel’s stuff is a little pricey, but all of the hose I have gotten from there have held up really well. I bike in them, and toes are all still good!

Charlene: Or a Type Villain!!!
Carolyn: $25.00 is really expensive for these but I haven’t seen anything else even close on the market. They are very sheer so I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually run. I plan on hand washing them though so hopefully they hold up!

heidi: Thanks for the feedback. This is my first pair of AA tights.
Kathleen: I wish they were an inch or two lower though so they’d be more walkable!!

Those shoes aren’t for walkin’, Nubs! They belong in the nearest museum of modern art! You wear them well, exclamation point!

I love them. I hope the AA store in Sydney stocks them.

Those tights are ridiculous. I hope they make them with other patterns on them. They’re like typography tattoos!
You inspired me to take control of my invoicing. I got asked for one today and I thought WWNTD?
[Reply]
Eeeep! I literally squealed in joy when I saw these – thanks for sharing. I’m always game for some typographic geekdom clothing, those are quite fabulous!!!
[Reply]
Oh my goodness! i need to have these!
[Reply]
@nubby, oh yeah…they are not made for short people though. all their tights usually hit me about mid boob.
