Crochet tights

Ever since we saw “Happy Go-Lucky,”  we can’t stop thinking about the main character’s style. Actress Sally Hawkins not only nailed the lead role as Poppy—the eternally peppy primary school teacher—but she also scored an A+ with her wardrobe. Costume designer Jacqueline Durran dressed her in pieces that echoed her optimistic sensibility. Aside from the ubiquitous heeled boots, Poppy’s pattern lace tights—in a rainbow of colors—made us forget our previous prejudice for monochromatic opaque and embrace this "fishnets on acid look." Urban Outfitters has a host of hose online at affordable prices. Pair their pin stripe floral tights ($14) in burnt red with a pair of cowboy boots and you’ll be feeling happy-go-lucky, too.
