DC Scout: Trends in Tights; Quality Cashmere

A tights spot

This fall, designers encrusted hosiery with sequins and beads, and rolled out lace and fishnet styles that'd make a can-can girl weak in the knees. "Clothes this season don't have much trendiness," says designer Cynthia Rowley, who trotted out metal-studded and lace-trimmed pairs. "Embellished tights can be the thing that's spontaneous about your outfit." Party like it's 1989 in Wolford's silver-dotted tights ($135, Wolford) and Steve Madden's "Like a Virgin"-cool ankle-wrap suede pumps ($72, SteveMadden.com). Or pair Wolford's vintage-y lace tights ($55, Wolford) with Kate Spade's satin sling-backs ($295, Shoe Hive).

Sweater weather

Charlottesville, Va.: I have a cashmere question: is there a difference between a 100% cashmere sweater at Old Navy versus one at Talbots? If both are really 100%, why is there such a price difference? I would think all cashmere is created equally. Thanks!

Janet Bennett Kelly: They both may be 100 percent cashmere, but I would bet the difference is in the ply. Single-ply cashmere can be pretty flimsy and prone to rips, while double-ply is more durable. Quality of construction also counts in price.
