            As Kate Middleton, also known as the new Duchess of Cambridge, celebrates her 30th birthday today, you can be sure that she will not be without one thing … sheer pantyhose.
Ever since entering the world stage, Kate has been revered as a fashion icon in countries around the world, setting fashion trends everywhere she goes. But perhaps the most surprising fashion fever that she is leading the pack on is sheer pantyhose and turning them back into a trend for all ages. Since the royal wedding, sheer pantyhose have been flying off the shelves in her home country, Great Britain, as well as here, stateside. She is receiving praise from all walks of life for the trend she is reintroducing, raving about the benefits of wearing sheer pantyhose, from hiding unsightly scars and veins, adding a little color, to just making an outfit look great.
But we at Ames Walker are wondering if Princess Kate and those praising her know the added benefits of graduated compression pantyhose? Medical compression hosiery have come a long way, and can be as sheer, if not sheerer than what Kate is making fashionable. And they make your legs feel great too!
So if you want to make your legs look good, as well as feel good, head on over to AmesWalker.com and take a look at our Ames Walker Sheer® line to learn more. Also, take advantage for a limited time to enjoy Free Shipping site wide. Just enter Coupon Code: jan12 at checkout (*Applies to Standard Shipping to US & CAN only).
Happy Birthday Kate!

Spiders, Not Just Frightful at Halloween

Spiders are among the many images associated with Halloween aimed at giving us a scare.  Unfortunately, spider veins can stay with us all year long, and can be frightful to look at.

About 70% of adult women develop unsightly spider veins at some point in their life.  Whether you want to hide them, or prevent them from getting worse, opaque compression tights are an excellent option.  They are perfect in the fall for work or weekend wear. 

Here is a link to Vein Directory, a leading source for vein treatment.  You can find a doctor, general information and health tips for spider veins and more.  http://www.veindirectory.org/content/spider_veins.asp

New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week just finished up, offering another season of stunning and art-like fashions.

The accessories were just as amazing, from the jewelry, to the hairstyles and hats to the boot and bags.  But there was another more subtle accessory that made its way on the runways…tights.  

Some were wild, some more sleek and sexy, but its definitely a trend here to stay.
