Sheer Tights – Make-Up for Your Legs?

 

When you get a bit of a heatwave like we’ve been having of late, it’s very tempting to go out bare legged. Not a good idea ladies! I know we’ve said this before and we’ll repeat it, none of us have flawless legs. We have blemishes, thread veins, marks and nobbly bits that we’d like to disguise so this is how to do it.

First: Try to find a product that has a shade closest to your natural skin tone. There are many products at UK Tights that have many different shades and look very natural. The best ones are a low denier, so they look like a whisper on your legs. We also have a great many products that can be worn if you’re a woman of colour, so don’t be put off from taking a look. Before you try these though here are a few tips to prepare your legs.  

Next: Exfoliate. This will get rid of any spots or dead skin cells on your legs. Then make sure your legs are entirely hair-free. If you chose to shave your legs, take your time not to cut yourself and make sure you use a brand new blade. Then apply a good moisturiser paying particular attention to the heels and the toes. Always make sure your pedicure is perfect too. When wearing sheer tights with a sandal toe, you need to make sure the nail polish on your toes isn’t chipped or worn. This can look pretty unsightly. Make sure you use a good quality file on your heels and keep them smooth and snag-free. Again, if you’re wearing sandals, your feet must be smooth and soft. 

Now you’re just about ready to try some fantastic legwear. Here are a few we’d recommend you try:

Pretty Polly Naturals Skin Tone Tights

The Pretty Polly Naturals Skin Tone Tights is very reasonably priced and they have truly natural skin tones. With approximately six shades to choose from you’re bound to find one that suits you.

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...
