4 Easy Tips for Hosiery Care

Trying exclusive hosiery for the first time can be exciting. The finesse of the threads, laces and finishes… it is a pleasure to wear them all day long and it feels even better when they come back home safe and sound after a long day of work or a night out. But, what about the next day? Tip 1: Quality B eats Quantity It’s always better buying quality pairs than loads of cheap ones. The better fabrics  they use, the longer they are likely to last.

Festival Season is Here!

Summer is finally here- in the UK that doesn’t always mean we’re guaranteed sunshine, but while there’s every chance we’ll get weeks of rain, there’s one thing that we can look forward to with a degree of certainty; a summer of music. Festival season has arrived, and this is something the UK does very well. After two years of COVID restrictions, to have our summer music scene back in full swing is a most welcome thing, sure to liven up the soggiest of days. With this in mind, you might be starting to plan your wardrobe for those musical weekends, and while we all know a pair of hunter wellies are a staple to help you deal with the inevitable mud, what about your tights?

Snag Tights- Inclusive, Practical and Body Positive!

For many years I worked in retail, for a very busy technology company. While most of my colleagues wore jeans I was known as the one who was always in a skirt and would draw surprised comments on the odd day that I did turn up in trousers. It being the UK though, and cold even in summer, tights have aways been an essential part of my outfit. But this didn’t come without problems. I am a short, very small person, and as the hosiery industry seemed hell bent on sticking to impractical sizing options, getting a pair of tights that really fit seemed impossible. At best you might get to pick between small, medium and large options, at worse, the dreaded one size fits all. One size fits all? We all know we aren’t all one size and no matter what material you use myself and my short little legs are never going to fit into the same size of tights as my very tall, long limbed friend. For me, the limited options would see me standing on the shop floor with a customer, uncomfortably ...

What is it about this old favourite that people love so much? And why is it synonymous with the sultry and the sexy? Let’s take a quick look at the history of the fishnet to see just how fishnet tights became the icon they are today. The History Of Fishnet Tights Fishnets and their origins are rather shrouded in mystery. So many sources exist on the exact point of origin of the humble fishnet. One myth to dispel right away is that the fishnet came from real fisherman’s nets that were repurposed when some ladies didn’t have anyt...

Spring into Spring!

Spring is finally here. The clocks have now gone forward, bringing with them lighter evenings, there are lambs in the fields, daffodils blooming and chocolate eggs have just left the shelves of every supermarket. All of these things signify the approach of warmer weather, and as nature starts to transform and shed its wintery guise, it’s time for us to do the same. We’re all packing away the winter coats and slowly starting to ditch the jumpers and scarfs, and along with them, those trusty fleece lined leggings and 80 denier tights that have kept you cosy through the winter months are probably also being pushed to the back of the drawers. But even now, with the sun making an occasional appearance here and there, you might not be ready to completely say goodbye to your tights in favour of bare legs. With the emergence of your lighter spring wardrobe you may be looking for some inspiration on how to move on from your thick autumnal coloured hosiery. I for one tend to wear t...
