UK Tights News & Reviews

  To gloss or not to gloss; that’s the question.  The million-dollar question, along with the bare-leg or tights-on question we all ask ourselves at some point over the summer. Shiny tights (both sheer and opaque) are super trendy right now, but, still, many people out there prefer matt tights to glossy hosiery. We have asked the experts, AKA the lovely people at UK Tights. 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. This gives an even glossier look and can also address some of those issues with marks. Dawn’s all the time-favourite glossy sheer tights...

  If you’re new to wearing tights, hold ups and stockings or indeed any kind of legwear, you may not be aware of the pitfalls of putting these items on or taking them off. We thought it would be a good idea to give you a list of things to do and a list of things not to do when putting your tights and other hosiery on, which will help you prolong the life of your legwear. Putting your tights on the right way is vital if you plan to wear sheer legwear such as 10, 15 or, even, 20 denier hosiery. You’ll notice that these items are very delicate. The lower the denier , the more delicate the fabric. Therefore, it’s always best to do the following: Do… Make sure you have no snags on your fingernails .

Give your feet a treat Make sure your toenails are not long or sharp in any way by cutting them and, then, filing the edges so that they don...

They are so versatile, as winter tights can be worn under trousers for maximum snuggliness or you can wear them with a lovely winter dress or skirt, knee-length boots, and you will then have that classic look and warm legs too. Winter tights are normally made from either wool , cotton or Nylon mixes. Any of these can come in different density and will keep you warm for sure. Obviously, the more natural fibres you try to wear the warmer your legs will be, as the wool and cotton tights will allow your skin to breath. Having said that, there are some real heavyweights these days in the opaque tights section that are made from Nylon mixes, but because they go up to 300 denier, they are almost like a trouser. Tights differ from trousers because their close-knit fabric traps air between them and your legs; therefore, the warm body air that you give off is then kept clo...
