Who First Wore Denim Shorts On Top Of Black Tights?

[lynbrown]

The above fashion has been around for years, but who did it first?

Gosh that's difficult to answer - I did in the early 70's but am not aware of following a fashion by a particular celeb etc as I wore what I liked.

I was thinking this an 80s trend? Didn't Madonna do this ages ago? I know Rihanna has .. http://www.upscalehype.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/rihanna-proenza-schouler-coat-lv-bag-alaia-boots-4.jpg

Superman on his day off??

I thought it was 80s too. I remember sheer tights were worn with hot pants (not the same as summer shorts)

[Baldric]

I did, to a fancy dress do in late 70's, you don't think,
no, it couldn't have been, ... ... could it?

Someone like Kate Moss.

[Mamyalynne]

I was obviously ahead of my time,but you aren't seeing the pics.

It was certainly all the rage again in the very early 90s, I know as I remember going out clubbing once dressed like that, what as I thinking - mutton dressed as lamb.

Exhaustive research uncovers that it was someone who went to a fancy dress party as a gollywog and hurriedly altered the costume when badgered by the professionally offended and threatened with prosecution under the famous 'my grievance far outweighs yours cos I'm in Mumsnet an' that' bylaw.

Could have been 'a mother' screaming at her daughter. "You are not going out dressed like that - you will freeze to death" and tights under shorts became a compromise.

[Jennykenny]

Thanks Baldric, but I was questioning whether she was the first one to wear this combination.

[Baldric]

Just thought she might've been a bit young Jenny.

[Old_Geezer]

Sorry; that was me. But I've developed better taste these days.

Yeh striped tights geezer.
