When it comes to fashion, you like to be ahead of the rest. But your boyfriend blazer and ankle boots are starting to feel a little last decade.

Need some help?

Les Queues de Sardines, a mischievous collection of tights, will give you a leg up in the style stakes. The quirky hosiery is screen-printed by hand, adorned with humorous designs like turquoise and red veins, raindrops, tattoo prints and ants that look like they’re crawling up your leg (our favourite).

Each design is printed in limited quantities, so don’t waste time getting to the shops.

In other words, leg it.

Available at Fortnum & Mason, 181 Piccadilly, W1A 1ER (020 7734 8040 or fortnumandmason.com). To see styles, go to les-queues-de-sardines.com.
