7 Reasons Why Tights Are Better Than Bare Legs

 

Here at UK Tights, we are a touch biased about legwear, and of course, we think that tights are better than bare legs. But even though it is somewhat predictable that we would say that, we believe it’s true. So why exactly are tights always better than bare legs? Here are a few reasons why we think that.

1. Tights Help Show Your Sexy Curves Better

Tights show your curves much better than anything else apart from perhaps a waist cincher or corset under your dress. They’re often figure-forming if you go for compression tights, but even if they are not then the way they draw your gaze means that your curves are easier to show off. This is particularly true of back seam tights, and they really do highlight the contours of your legs and show off your gorgeous figure beautifully.

2. Tights Can Cover Your Blemishes

One of the great practical and cosmetic benefits of tights is that even sheer tights cover your blemishes. If you have anything on your skin that you don’t like the look of, you can help to alleviate them and give yourself more confidence by adding something to match your skin tone. This is especially effective if you choose matte tights, which can give your legs a makeup effect, helping to cover thread veins, birthmarks, and other skin blemishes.

3. Your Outfit Is More Complete With Tights

Some pieces of clothing are outfit finishers. They help to wrap up your outfit and give you the complete and finished look you desire. This can also be true for some items of jewellery, or cosmetics like a flash of colour from your painted nails. But as for a piece of apparel, nothing says “dressed up” like a gorgeous pair of tights. Or if you want to go for that vintage style of dress-up, then stockings are even better.

4. Tights Really Can Make Your Shoes Fit Better

This is one of those tips and tricks that you might never have thought of or might even be a little sceptical about too. But with a bit of extra material, your tights really can make your shoes feel comfier and snug. This isn’t from adding material to your feet. Instead, it is from temperature and moisture control. They help to absorb the trace amounts of moisture that your feet produce throughout the day and keep them from swelling from the heat. This even happens when it is chilly, as you get friction between your feet and your shoe that causes heat, sweat, and swelling. Tights prevent that and help keep you feeling fresh and relaxed.

5. They Can Also Lengthen Your Legs

Back to our earlier point about curves, and you may have seen, we missed out one vital part about how great they make your legs look. Wearing a back seam or any other vertical pattern is a great way to give you a little extra height and lengthen your legs. They highlight the curves and contours of your legs just by drawing your eye but add something like a back seam, and you will also look that much taller and your legs that much more shapely and gorgeously long. Go without that seam or pattern, though, and you won’t achieve.

6. Tights Even Help Your Posture

This is another of those tricky things to imagine, but it is true. Tights can even help with posture, helping to stop micro-imbalances in your walk and the way you stand, something we all do naturally. Every human body is slightly asymmetrical, and we all favour one side somewhat. But with a good pair of compression tights, that is easily fixed. You can improve circulation, the condition of your muscles, and by proxy, your posture and the way you walk. Going to the gym and doing balance and coordination work can help this, but if you want a passive benefit, then compression hosiery is for you. Maintaining your health has rarely been easier than quietly slipping on a pair of support tights, but now that is an option, and we are so excited about it.

7. Can You Get The Perfect Legs With Tights?

Well, of course, you can’t get the perfect look, or the perfect posture, or the perfect outfit, no matter what you choose to wear. Tastes change, and some things are no longer suitable, but no matter what. But wearing tights over bare legs will never make an outfit closer to perfect. However, wearing them will. A great pair of tights or stockings can only enhance an outfit, and so long as they are correctly paired, won’t ever take away from it. This is one of the best ways to get your very own close-to-perfect look, and should always be included in any ensemble.

Denier, The Complete Guide To What It Means For Your Leg Wear

  Denier, The Complete Guide To What It Means For Your Leg Wear What is denier and what does it mean? It’s one of the most important measurements in the leg wear world. Only sizing measures are more important and relevant to people. But you still need to know what you are ordering, as it hugely effects your outfit. In short, denier is the weight of the fabric in your tights, stockings and hosiery. That is the simple explanation. But simple explanations are not always full ones. It is often used colloquially for general how thick the tights are on your leg too. But weight and thickness are not necessarily the same thing. So let’s take a closer look to see what this means exactly. The Real Definition Of Denier The confusion over what denier means is understandable. People use it to mean thickness. A high denier item means it is just woolly and thick, right? Not exactly. Technically, the definition is the weight of the fabric. That means something thick and cosy ...

My Favourite Fashion Tights This Christmas

  My Favourite Fashion Tights This Christmas Good design is like the imagination. It takes heaps of originality and a new perspective, otherwise it’s just, well, boring . Someone we knew, who had a penchant for thought puzzles, once asked us to imagine a new colour. It’s an impossible task, but it’s not too dissimilar to what we do. Everyday we try to capture, in words, a new pattern, something that wasn’t made to look like anything else around us. We’re supposed to tell you what a colour means and how it weaves its magic on your eyes. It’s even more puzzling for us when Dawn meets one of our agents and picks the most stunning fashion tights available to her. This complicates matters, but at least we have photography like this to help us out. See what we mean? Designs like these are difficult to capture in just words. They’re also quite amazing, and this might well be the last you read from us this year, so we wanted to show you something real...

Happy Halloween!

  Guest blogger - Raven Taylor The leaves are turning orange. Suddenly the air is filled with the smell of woodsmoke as the first fires of the year are lit. Shop window displays are full of pumpkins, witches and skeletons. It can only mean one thing- the witching season is here and halloween is just around the corner. Halloween, or Samhain as it was known in the old days, is an ancient festival, dating back hundreds of years. It was traditionally the Celtic new year, and it is said it is the time when the veil between our world and that of the spirits is at its thinnest. It was the last of the three harvest festivals celebrated by old cultures, a time when the last of the animals were slaughtered and their meat stored for winter, and any remaining livestock were brought in from the fields. It was a time when dark nights started to creep in, driving people indoors to huddle around their fires, and with more time spent inside with the night pressing in, it was only nat...
