LONDON, ENGLAND, May 24, 2012 (Press-News.org) It's now not even two weeks to go until the Queen's Jubilee weekend and flags seem to be popping up wherever you go. Surrounded by shades of red, white and blue, it's never seemed cooler to be British, or more appropriate to don a patriotic pair of Jubilee tights. The Union Jack was even featured on the Vivienne Westwood AW 12 catwalk, and spotted on the dangerously long legs of Elle "The Body" Macpherson.
Show your support for sixty years of service from Her Majesty by donning a pair of Union Jack Tights for the Jubilee. There are loads of different styles - channel Vivienne Westwood by going all out in an all over print like the Henry Holland Rule Britannia Union Jack Flag Tights, which will look great with a simple dress or casual shorts and t-shirt combination. Or you could try subtle patriotism a la Elle - layer union jack tights under ripped jeans or go for a subtle print like the Jonathan Aston Crowns or Union Jack Horses Tights, which both feature all over small prints on opaque black hosiery. You can even just wear the colours of the flag with red and white spotty tights or blue and white stripes.
Not only are there tons of different ways to wear them, you won't end up shoving them to the back of your wardrobe after the long weekend with your flag deely boppers and other now-useless Jubilee paraphernalia. Flag Tights will last and last: you can reuse them for the Oympics and any other sporting event where you want to show your support for your country, and the Brit Fever trend (as seen on catwalks including Chanel and Alexander McQueen) is set to stick around well into the next season.
To celebrate the Queen's reign and help you get in the Jubilee spirit, here are six things we bet you didn't know about Her Majesty...
1. She uses her handbag to signal when she's ready to move on - she lets her aides know it's time to go by switching her bag from arm to arm.
2. She was turned away from her own private stand at the Royal Windsor Horse Show by an over-zealous security guard who later said he thought she was "some old dear who had got lost".
3. She visited the set of EastEnders in 2011 and went behind the bar of the Queen Vic. Reports that she pulled a pint are unconfirmed.
4. In 1957 the Queen and Prince Philip were apart for four months because of official duties. On the day they were reunited, he wore a heart-patterned tie.
5. She used to be a party animal! She wrote about the VE day celebrations in 1945, saying "[I] walked simply miles. Saw parents on balcony at 12.30am - ate, partied, bed 3am!"
6 When her father unexpectedly became King, her sister (Princess Margaret) said to her: "Does that mean you're going to be queen? Poor you."
