Los Angeles, February 5.
Kendall Jenner splits the night to go to a dinner in the district of West Hollywood.
On this occasion, the 27-year-old model dons a Bottega Veneta silhouette, modeled down to the smallest detail on the one presented on the Italian label's catwalk during the spring-summer 2023 show. neither the asymmetrical dress, nor the
pointed-toe
slingbacks that challenge, but the legs of Kendall Jenner, dressed in a pair of mahogany-colored tights.
A tone that is rare on this piece of the wardrobe whose color and opacity are still the subject of lively debate.
And therefore an act of rehabilitation on the part of the star of the parades, standard-bearer of trends, and in particular that of tights worn as pants.

The resurgence of brown
Like nude tights, brown tights have not resisted the hegemony of black that has weighed heavily in recent years on this garment classified as an “accessory”, but very often essential in winter locker rooms.
And now the chocolate shade could benefit from its fashion moment.
In any case, this is what the tights brand Calzedonia observes, which indicates that in December 2021 the mocha color represented 1% of veil tights sales, compared to 9% in 2022. If the figure remains low, it clearly shows even a small surge, which is also evident on social networks.

Mahogany, coffee or caramel, the brown palette is slowly but surely regaining its place in the tights vocabulary.
A return that can also be explained by the precepts of the fashionable theory of colorimetry.
They question the universality of black, suggesting that warmer brown flatters certain skin tones more.
Opinion is spreading on TikTok, where many videos are listed extolling the merits of this stylistic find that would supplant classic black in everyday outfits.
In video, the Valentino fall-winter 2022-2023 fashion show:
All lights are brown
Because they are basic, just like black, but also fancy tights, just like any other color, pairs of chocolate tights have a double role.
Twice as many reasons to give it a try?
To get started, it is better to choose a side.
Either play the color card and opt for opaque tights, to be inserted for example in a monochrome look.
Either find the slightly brown shade to substitute for black to subtly revive a look.
Matter of envy.
