Maybe I’ve just never noticed this before, but: Commando tights — long revered by fashion magazines and stylists as some of the most opaque tights out there — now come in in colors.

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: ‘Nathalie’ Print Scarf Collar Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Oooh: I really like this fun blouse from Rachel Zoe. I like the silk, the red/navy combination, and the v-neck scarf collar.
