My Wolford Experience

— by Alyson Walsh

On seeing this photograph, regular readers are going to think I’ve gone doolally, or started taking drugs. Or both. Truth is, I was asked by luxury brand Wolford to go in-store, try on a few bits and pieces and erm, stir up a social networking frenzy. I wouldn’t ordinarily do this kind of thing, I just don’t feel very comfortable with that whole rent-a-fashion-blogger scenario and like to think of myself as quite discerning – which is probably why I still have a day job. But when I realised that the lovely Wolford PR is someone I know from my former, more glamorous life as a fashion editor, I was happy to go along. One minute I’m figuring out how to persuade her to forget about the cheesy outfit shots and just show me the autumn/winter collection, the next I’m in the shop window draped across the mannequins. I guess that’s the beauty of wearing gorgeous, comfortable, confidence-boosting clothes.

As you can see, Wolford has moved on from being the most luxurious hosiery brand in the world, and added a fabulous ready-to-wear collection and some lovely lingerie too. The quality is superb. These knitted styles are super-stretchy and versatile too. Just my kind of thing. Elegant and timeless and perfect for cycling in. I can quite honestly say that Wolford’s knitted tops and stretch trousers look and feel fantastic. My favourite outfit was this ‘Harris tweed’ dress and snake print top:

Wolford are giving away two pairs of tights to That’s Not My Age readers so
please leave a comment below and I’ll do a first out of the
hat-style draw next week. Though on viewing my pasty legs in that last photo, I might have to keep a pair for myself.
