Never Worry about Runs in Your Stockings Again!

I believe we may have talked about this particular trend before, but it bears another look because not only is it still in place, it is even bigger, better, and more popular than ever.

What am I talking about? Ripped up stockings and tights, of course. The trend will continue to be prevalent this fall as well as in the winter season spanning 2009 and 2010.

It is amazing that something so seemingly simple has been popular for decades, at least at one point or another. It was huge in the 1980s, made a comeback during the 1990s, especially when grunge began its climb to popularity, it reemerged in the 2000s due to the 1980s fashion revival, and now it is back as part of a neo grunge trend.

Of course you can buy your tights and stockings with rips, runs, and ladders, but if you don’t want to spend money on something that is essentially damaged, you can easily do it yourself. You can use everything from scissors to cheese graters, just make sure you choose stockings made of heavy fabric.
