Slasher in the loose

So this is just a super easy super quick customise tip! Slashed tights can add that hint of badass to any outfit but if you wear them over coloured tights they can be really quirky and look quite chic and artistic. The best way is to do it is to make clean slices with a pair of scissors rather than cut circles or holes as they will be prone to tearing or stretching more easily. I sliced mine with a set of keys on the way to a concert once. A good way to prevent the tears from stretching or spreading is to dab the corners with clear nail varnish like you would a ladder in your tights. They're also a more interesting alternative to just plain black tights.
A word of caution; if you are self conscious about your legs-especially your thighs-don't wear these with a short skirt or shorts because with tightness of the tights can cause mild bulging from the slits (though this is counteracted if you wear two pairs!).
Happy slashing!
