I haven't a clue whether Celeste Stein tights [1] are a huge brand in America and perhaps I'm just a silly British numpty who has not been aware at all.  Perhaps bloggers have gone loopy for them and I didn't know.  Perhaps Celeste Stein makes people go 'Urgh how tremendously tacky...' and I still didn't know.  Then again, that all doesn't matter a jot to me seeing as the important thing is that I've found a new source of quirky hoisery and we all know how much that pleases me!  The sheer number of prints that Celeste Stein has available [2] is just mind boggling in the truest sense of the world.  Who knew someone was running a company in Texas making over 1,000 prints available to be printed on your choice of opaque tights, sheer tights, fishnets, thigh highs and nylon socks?  Ok, maybe you all knew but I didn't so you'll just have to bear with me raving about them. 

So not all the prints are going to be to everyone's tastes but surely one or two will catch your eye from a choice of 1000 in all sorts of colours and categorised into different pattern groups such as floral, paisley, dots, lace, denim, plaid, camo and animal print.  I may be preaching to a 'block colour opaque tights' only crowd but I'll take the risk of saying that I'm straight off the bat, loving the array of floral prints they have.....

I know you don't believe me when I say I know there is a way of making these work but I'll still try my hardest to convince you otherwise....

Various other patterns have also caught my eye.....

I'll slowly be going through the catalogue [5] of prints and making a careful selection as opposed to going mad and saying 'I want that one, that one and that one....'.  My Tights.co.uk [6] has a small selection but I'm going straight to the source me thinks...

EDIT: I had to laugh out loud when Queen Michelle also simultaneously posted about Celeste Stein [7].  All the more encouragement and support for the printed tights....
