We’re loving the continuous line of Reese Witherspoon‘s gray tights (click to find a pair of your own) and shoes. She bucked the black tights trend while promoting her new Avon fragrance, “In Bloom,” on “Good Morning America.” [NYC, 10/28/09]

Normally, my go-to tights color is black, but I bought a pair of gray ones the other day, and they’re fast becoming my favorites. I’m not forsaking black by any means, but gray tights are much more versatile. You can wear them with black, you can wear them with navy blue, and, as Alice here demonstrates, you can most definitely wear them with purple. [Weardrobe]
