Review :: We Love Colors


I'm pretty sure that everyone already knows that I love brightly coloured tights. Just in case you don't know...I love bright tights!

I was super excited to try out some We Love Colors tights and tell you guys what I thought of them. I have been asked a couple questions lately about the type and colour of the tights that I got so I will start by telling you that.


I wanted to see what the difference was between the different types of tights offered by We Love Colors. As far as colour is concerned, they are all amazing! The colours are so vibrant and there are so many to choose from in each style.

All of the tights are very comfortable and I feel like they all look very similar in photos. Also, all of the tights have been in potential "cat accident" scenarios and have lived to tell the tale. (They stand up well to kitty claws!) The differences I noticed were in the feel of the tights and the fit. While they are all comfy and all feel nice, the MicroFiber ones (olive) are my favourite. They are a bit thicker and I like the way they fit at the top. I like that you pull them up realllllly high on your waist.
I plan on ordering some more colours and I will be getting all MicroFiber ones. Not that the other ones aren't great too...I just prefer the MicroFiber.

So, I am totally on the We Love Colors bandwagon and will no longer be relying on buying tights at random mall stores. Almost all of my mall store tights that I bought last year have runs!! It is definitely worth it to me to invest in higher quality tights that will not need to be replaced so frequently.


Have you tried We Love Colors? Do you love them?

    I was already thinking of buying some. The colors are so fantastic, and I was expecting the quality was well worth the price.

    Your little review has persuaded me to buy some! I think I'll never buying other thights again!

    I just got some yesterday, and YES!! They are SO MUCH better than mall tights or Target tights. I never want to buy cheap tights again!

    they do look to nice. I like what you said about the microfiber ones. I'm all for the pulling it up to your chin thing ^^ It would cost me 15$ though just for shipping them to me :( So I guess I'll be sticking to my usual byes. too bad :(

    Good reminder you get what you pay for :) I need to buy some quality tights so I'm not so sad when my favorite color runs the first time I wear them. (ahem...Target...) Can't wait for tights weather in AZ!!

    thank you for doing this review! i've seen other we love colours reviews where they just say what they like and don't like about them. there are so many different kinds that i wanted someone to say which tights they were trying and which they liked best. based on your judgements, i'm going to place an order (because i TRUST you...LOL) but seriously, i've been wanting to place an order now from them for a long time...and since fall is on the way (YIPPEE!!!) it's time...

    love, carly

    I love We Love Colors! I have the crazy yellow and black zigzag tights but would love to get some nice solids for the fall. I love your orange ones!

    Ohh! I'm going to get some (if they ship to the UK), I need some more solid tights for winter :D Are they quite stretchy?

    This is great. I've been wanting to order some for a while now, but was completely confused with all the options. I think the Microfiber pair look the best on you as well - no sheen, a bit see-through - and I LOVE that they sit high on your waist! Thanks for the review, I'm heading over to make a purchase now. =)

    So glad you posted this! I have been curious about their tights for a while now. I know a lot of people love them but I guess I was also unsure what type of tights to get. I saw the olive color the other day and fell in love with them. :)

    Aww man I wish they shipped to new Zealand!! :( managed to buy some pretty coloured ones off trademe the other day but they don't quite fit the way I'd like them to at the top. Columbine ones are good here though just a little expensive and not a great range of colours!

    Thanks for this!! :) I've been humming and hawwing wether of not to order some, since I'm always worried about the sizing of tights & what the material feels like. :) Gonna try the microfiber, now!

    I love We Love Colors Microfiber Tights. In my opinion, the type at the cheaper price point have zero stretch.

    I was thinking I need to switch too. I bought a pair of tights at a "random mall store" paid more money than We Love Colours and wasn't happy with them. Plus it was really hard to tell what I was buying exactly, since they weren't really labelled and I couldn't open the pack! Thanks for the review.

    I keep meaning to buy from we love colors. My friend bought some tights from them last year, and she LOVES them.
    Thank you for the review!

    I've ordered twice and I do love them except they sometimes feel a little flimsy :/ I cant buy these microfiber ones though as they dont offer them in plus size...*sigh* one more reason to lose it ;)

    Thanks for doing this review! Maybe if I buy several pairs at once, it will be worth the $15 shipping to Australia... but I have definitely been on the search form some high quality bright colored tights.

    I <3 We Love Colors! I've been experimenting with layering tights....My latest mix is their Dusty Green Microfiber tights with the White Diamondnet Fishnets (only $4.75!) People are always so amazed! Here's the results:

    I might be the only one who wasn't totally thrilled with we love colours. The first pair I put on ended up having a run in it by the time I made it to work (within an hour). I was expecting the quality to be more like a dancer's tights-because they are really stretchy, and hold up really well.

  36. novaSeptember 11, 2011 at 11:43 AM

    That olive color is beautiful, Imma get some for fall I think. I have a red pair, I think I already told you about my rainy day grey shoes+brand new red tights disaster. If not...lets just say I now have pink shoes. So watch out for that.

  37. KateSeptember 11, 2011 at 2:01 PM

    Those olive tights are to die for! I've thought about buying some We Love Colors tights before but the shipping discouraged me. I may be changing my mind when the wet winter comes my way!

    Oh I've been desperately looking for some good quality tights... question for you though - I know you said the micro fibre ones go up really high but do they dig in? I have a pair of tights that lasted all last winter and they go high but they dig into the sides giving me horrible 'handles'. The other 2 types of tights weren't as high, did they sit nice on the stomach or did they dig in??

    Do they have an ankle part? i have tiny feet and always find that the foot part is too big and end up with an ankle bulge!

    Could you please comment on if there is a difference in sheen between the 3 pairs? Thanks!

  42. elyciaNovember 10, 2011 at 8:28 AM

    Ellen, I would say that the sheen is the same on all of them :) Hope that helps!
