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 ...

This is what they’ve said: Dawn loves wearing shiny tights “There are a great many people who believe that glossy tights are not the right thing to wear. Personally, I love shiny tights. The way they make your legs shimmer and shine as you walk is something that I find very appealing”. “ I simply adore sheer shiny tights . I like the smooth shine that gives your legs that just oiled look. You can also wear higher deniers when wearing sheers.
