The Thigh’s the Limit

Stephanie, Editor

We normally don’t cover our own so much (especially two days in a row!), but we just had to stop Lifestyle Editor Stephanie in the INsite hallway today. Her look somehow managed to accomplish that oh-so-enviable triumvirate: comfortable, stylish, and office-ready.

She admitted that people had been stopping her all day to get the deets behind her knee-highs—arguable the cherry on top of her outfit. She said that to avoid making the knee-highs stand out too much, she paired them with tights and shoes in the same hue. Plus, they kept her warm. And she says she likes to add a sweater or jacket to any look to add polish.

We want to copy this figure-flattering look, which can elongate legs, bring attention to the waist, and disguise thighs that took a hit from the holidays.
