With glittering gold, beading and tassels gracing the Spring 2012 runways, one thing is clear: designers everywhere are preparing for the Great Gatsby.

Gucci unveiled its 2012 Spring/Summer Collection featuring a contemporary twist on the roaring 20s with a mix of modern rock-chic and vintage glamour.

Gucci Creative Director, Frida Giannini, was inspired by the opulence and glamour of the “era of hedonism”, and we simply love the luxury and elegance of the designs!

FireHosiery adores the 1920s era, as this was the time when elaborate pantyhose and stockings with geometric designs, fishnets and back seam tights reached the height of fashion. So, naturally, these types of hosiery work beautifully with the latest runway interpretations of the roaring 20’s trend.

With our admiration of the age of opulence, we’ve put together a few hot hosiery suggestions below that definitely scream “la more” for the 1920’s!

Above: our soft pastel coloured Clara tights are the perfect accompaniment to this sequined and beaded Gucci dress, as they will pick up the cream tones through the body of the dress and contrast beautifully against the strong blacks and golds.

Below: this metallic statement dress by Gucci could be worn with our black micronet tights for an edgy modern twist on the 1920s genre:

…And of course no flapper dress could possibly be complete without a pair of our classic Vintage Seam tights:

What are some of your favourite 1920s looks and what hosiery do you like to wear them with?
