Top tips for buying tights

Every woman at some time in their lives will find the need to buy some tights, whether for the office, for added warmth or for a night out on the town. When buying hosiery, bear in mind that you should be playing to your best features in terms of style and colour, as well as considering what you will be wearing them with.

Here are some things to bear in mind when you are shopping for tights, whether it is online or on the high street:

• Versatility: The staple of every girl’s collection should some black tights and some nude tights. Black tights in particular will go with almost everything and suit any body type – particularly if you are after a slimming effect or want your legs to look longer. Nude tights are essential if you want to show your legs in a little summer dress but want a little added protection or perhaps the illusion of a slight tan. Whatever you are wearing, these two shades will cover all bases and are practically essential if you happen to work in an office with a formal dress code.

• Colours and prints: If you want to get a little more adventurous, then there are of course tights available in all kinds of colours and styles. If your legs really are one of our best assets then you can pretty much show them off with any colour or style you want – such as bold prints, glossy fabric or glitter.However, if your legs are a little bigger then you should stick to darker colours and light shades and bold prints can sometimes make them look a bit bulkier (although vertical stripes will help to make your legs look longer). Conversely, if your legs are a little on the skinnier side then you can make yourself look a little curvier with horizontal stripes or dots, for example.

• Shop around: Sometimes high street shops can sell tights with a big mark-up, so if you are the kind of person who buys these often and likes to have a wide variety on-hand in your wardrobe, you should look about online for shops selling wholesale hosiery. Handily, online vendors of wholesale hosiery will usually sell packs in bulk so you can stock up on your essentials as well as having money left over to be a bit more adventurous.
  
  
• Secret slimming: If you aren’t feeling too confident and feel like you could do with a little help, then go for some control-top tights which will offer support to your legs and hips as well as giving you a more streamlined look.
