Stripes are also a perennial favorite with hosiery designers and retailers. Jonathan Aston, one of my first stops for up to the minute designs, is working with stripes this season, and his tights are available from MyTights in four colors: black/daffodil, black/royal, black/scarlet, and black/white.
Sock Dreams also carries a variety of striped legwear. Legwarmers, ankle socks, knee highs, stockings, tights...they have something for everyone and in almost every color! One of the things I especially like about Sock Dreams is how almost all of their items are affordable. In addition, since the owners personally test all of their merchandise, you can trust that it's durable and comfortable too boot.
For those who prefer their stripes a little more subtle, Urban Outfitters has a great pair of tone-on-tone striped tights on sale. Alternating matte and sheer black, horizontal bands, these tights are a UO web exclusive.
Finally, We Love Colors carries striped tights in 50 different colors with your choice of alternating white or black bands. If you're looking for a particular color, they'd be my first stop.If I've left out your favorite striped hosiery designer, please don't hesitate to let me know in the comments section. As always, happy shopping!

I have seen plenty of striped tights and thigh-highs at Hot Topic, but I don't know who makes them.
And stripes are one of the things why I love stockings. They grab your attention, add visual interest. Actually, for me, that holds true for any pattern -- plaid, polka dots, whatever.
I don't know who stocks Hot Topic, but I would imagine it's a fairly inexpensive brand like Leg Avenue.
And I absolutely agree about the attention grabbing quality of stripes. In terms of patterns, they're probably the one I see most often (not including fishnets).
