Four Hosiery Innovations You Can’t Miss This Season

We can’t deny how amazed with are with the new hosiery trends for Autumn Winter 2016, as you must have noticed after our most recent posts about fashion trends and hosiery collections. However, there’s something else you need to know about the new AW16 collections: its technological advances!
Do you remember our post about the under-toe seams and other hosiery innovations? Well, there’s more you need to know. These are the four hosiery innovations you can’t miss this season.

A pair of tights without a waistband? Yes, it’s happening!


Had you ever imagine you could own a pair of sheer tights without a waistband? Cecilia de Rafael has made it possible! The new Cecilia de Rafael Eterno 15 Tights are more than a regular pair of glossy sheer tights. They are an extremely comfortable pair of glossy tights! More features? Sandal toe, ladder resist and cotton gusset. Who can resist to great hosiery innovations like these!

Wolford Comfort Cut 40 Tights: The Ultimate Comfort


Talking about hosiery innovations, this is one of the latest innovations in the fashion world: A customisable waistband!
The waist size of the Wolford Comfort Cut tights is decided by the wearer, who can adjust it by making up to four cuts in the waistband.
What are the benefits of customisable waistbands in hosiery? Many! Tall people often have to wear X Large sizes to fit their long legs. What if you are tall but slender? In this case, you may find the waistband in your tights is too big for you. On the opposite, if you are short and you have a round shape, you will go for wider waistbands. Forget about baggy hosiery: A few cuts here and there and you’ll have your customised tights ready to rock! Everyone who tries them loves them. That can’t be a coincidence!

Couture Ultimates: No Seams Plus No Ladders!


Countdown to the arrival of the new Couture Ultimates range! Are you as excited as we are? In a few days, you’ll be able to judge by yourself. Until then, trust our word when we say this is one of the biggest hosiery innovations in years and it’s a Made-in-Britain innovation! The Couture Ultimates tights are completely seamless, do not ladder (ladder proof, rather than ladder resistant), have a leg smoothing effect and are truly beautiful. These in the picture above are The Diana, one of the seven patterned tights included in their AW16 collection.

The Next Big Thing in Opaques: Nanofabrics


Soft opaque tights are generally made of microfibre, but now Oroblu and Le Bourget have introduced nanofibres, instead of microfibres. Nanofibre yarn creates incredibly soft-touch and silky-effect textiles. Le Bourget Heritage Luxe 60 Denier Tights are the first nanofibre opaque tights we stock, although Oroblu is catching up Le Bourget with new nanofibre sheer tights: Oroblu Divine Tights, as below. The new range of Oroblu will be available very soon at UK Tights is now available at UK Tights!
What hosiery innovation would you like to see in the future?

The Eighties-inspired sheer tights are back in trend this winter

Good news! Sheer black tights are back. 
Fashion epiphanies are sometimes a matter of noticing the smallest, almost imperceptible things that can end up making you feel incredibly smug.
This winter, it’s the tiny yet game-changing matter of the right tights. Forget opaques. Dismiss bare legs. Believe it or not, sheer black tights are back for the first time since the Eighties.


Now, if anyone had told me last year that I’d ever find the slightest desire to wear sheer black tights again, I would have scoffed at them. Never! Not me! I’d had sheer hosiery so firmly categorised as old-fashioned, frumpy and generally unnecessary to life that it was just inconceivable.
Last winter, I remember waiting in a smart Paris hotel lobby while a cocktail party was going on and feeling supercilious to observe that the gathered Frenchwomen — and I am speaking of businesswomen of a certain age — were all wearing sheer black tights and court shoes.


What an old, backdated, conservative French custom, I thought. Something we advanced British left behind around the time of Robert Palmer’s Addicted To Love video — which would be 1986.
Now I’m eating my words. The subliminal comeback for black sheers started on the catwalks in March, most noticeably at Hedi Slimane’s swansong collection for Yves Saint Laurent.
You’ve guessed it: the inspiration was all things Eighties —velvet pelmet minis, giant lame shoulders, puffball skirts.

Frankly, the models were so thin they were painful to look at and the whole thing was so shockingly extreme it was hard to imagine it having any real-world impact.
But there has been one: Slimane’s girls wore black 15-denier tights and since then it’s become a trend on the catwalks and among the fashion crowd.
Once you’ve adjusted your eye, the great thing about this look is that it’s obviously the cheapest fashion revolution of the year: a new look available in every supermarket and department store in the land. Also, it’s ageless.
While young, leggy girls are switching to sheers as a novelty, the rest of us have a perfect entitlement to them, too. Good legs are a lifelong blessing, if you happen to have them and they never look better dressed than in sheer black hosiery. Fifty, 60, 70 — go ahead, be enviable!

15 denier tights:The rules
As soon as there’s the slightest snag, bin them — you just look unkempt otherwise.
Sheer is good, shine is not. We don’t have to go back to the Eighties. Keep it matt — it looks much more sophisticated.
Resist patterns, whether seams up the back or polka dots. Keep it simple.
NEVER be tempted to go down a size. There’s nothing less flattering, or uncomfortable, than tights that don’t fit.


Even those of us with non-racehorse limbs can get into it. For me, the new black sheer option solved all my dilemmas about what to wear with my favourite black midi skirt and has given new life to a mid-calf cocktail dress I haven’t worn for years.
Opaques looked too drab and depressing with them. Fishnets felt too risky. A semi-transparent coating of black tights does the trick beautifully. As for where to buy them, there are options on every corner.
If you’re the type who can’t wear sheer tights without seeming to encounter every nail or splinter in the vicinity, it’s probably wise not to splash your cash on the upper end of the market.
But there’s no denying that if you spend more, you get smoother, silkier tights that — in my experience — last longer than less expensive brands.
For some inexplicable reason, when it comes to high-end hosiery, the German-speaking countries have cornered the market with Wolford (Austrian), Falke (German) and Fogal (Swiss) among the best.
Try Wolford’s super soft Luxe 9 (£17, wolfordshop.co.uk), Falke’s Lunelle 8 denier, which come in six sizes (£16, falke.com), or Fogal’s super soft Catwalk 10 denier (£25.50, fogalworld.com).
When it comes to the High Street, M&S offers every variation at competitive prices.
With so many options, you’ll find one to suit — it’s an easy, sophisticated solution for what to wear this winter. Great for parties, nice for everyday.




Beauty Tights: The pantyhose that claim to relieve stress and alleviate PMS through... crystals

$

A new pair of tights have been released which are said to relieve stress and anxiety, alleviate PMS, diminish blemishes and reduce cellulite - but is it all too good to be true?



Beauty Tights are the newest product from a German legwear company called Item M6, and while there's no scientific evidence that they work, a Vogue editor insists she felt a difference when wearing them.



The tights have ceramic crystals melted into the stretchy yarn. According to the brand they turn body warmth into infrared radiation; the same principle used in infrared saunas that’s said to heal and detoxify.



It doesn’t stop there though. The tights are also made from compression fabric, you know, the type hailed by fitness fanatics and frequent fliers for combating fatigue and swelling.



The company behind the tights says they fit so precisely that they stimulate an acupressure point called the spleen 6 meridian. That's an area said to boost energy, ease digestive concerns, treat insomnia and even alleviate symptoms of PMS. Apparently they tackle fatty deposits too.



But so far, none of the tights' effects have been scientifically proven.



However Vogue editor Eviana Hartman said: “I could have sworn my skin felt softer afterward. The tourniquet effect was pleasant—calming, even. As for the results of all that spleen meridian stimulation, it’s hard to say. But I was mostly happy and productive during that fortnight, and after wearing them on a six-hour JFK-to-LAX flight, I noticed a conspicuous absence of jet lag."



As spirituality and wellness becomes more mainstream the use of crystals is escalating; even beauty brand Starskin has combined sheet masks with diamond, tourmaline and emerald to brighten and illuminate the skin. 



But what’s interesting here is that these new age fans are a far cry from the clichéd hippies you may once have associate with crystal healing.

This girl has been giving me all sorts of inspo for holiday dressing lately. Whether she’s releasing must-have merch or just wearing the coolest outfits, she always knows just how to convince me to add some pieces to my wardrobe. Find out where to buy Kylie Jenner’s fishnet tights so you can get all of the festive feels from your legwear this season. UPDATE: You can shop the exact pair Jenner wore for $100 on dbleudazzled.com.

 Jenner’s the queen of rocking fishnets with jeans, sneakers, fancy dresses, you name it. But, she just took her pantyhose-wearing to the next level when she wore ones that were covered in rhinestones. Once you see how truly amazing these are, you’ll never want to step into regular old plain tights ever again.

Now, you might not be able to cop the exact same pair as Jenner, unless she makes them available in her online store or pop-up shop, that is. You really never know with her, so keep your eyes peeled for a pair of these when the merch becomes available to shop. In the meantime however, you can grab similar shimmering options from plenty of retailers. So, get ready to have the fanciest holiday season yet. Because it just doesn’t get more glam than sparkling hosiery, you know what I mean?

This is peak holiday-party attire.

They're sooo sparkly. I'm obsessed.

Did Patterned Tights Just Become a Thing?

Patchworked lace tights were a key styling element for Karl Lagerfeld's Pre-Autumn 2016 Chanel show when it was presented last December, but we couldn't have predicted just how seismic those hosiery waves would be across the fashion world. 


Patterned tights haven't been particularly popular in a long time. Let's be honest: They are one of those accessories that can veer into trashy territory, but a new crop of all-black styles have more than a chance at looking chic and provide a great opportunity to pepper your look with newness while we're still in the depths of winter. Socks have a higher profile than ever, but just one look at the A-listers and trailblazers wearing fishnets or patterned black tights here, and your mind will be made up. Hey, if Alexa and Carine agree with each other, who are we to argue?



On Alexa Chung: Prada dress and shoes.

Tights to buy: Topshop Micro Fishnet Tights (£7)



On Camille Charrière: Ganni coat; Tibi trousers; Claritone bag.

Tights to buy: Wolford Sixty Six Tights (£24)

On Lainy Hedaya: Proenza Schouler tights.

These Harry Potter tights will turn your legs into an actual book

Tight season is here, which is good for three reasons. Number one, you don't have to use a razor again for 5 months (possibly longer). Number two, you don't have to worry about fake tan, or fake tan streaks because your legs are now encased in wool. And number three, you get the additional benefit of an elasticated waist until at least April.

But there might actually be a fourth reason if you are a Harry Potter fan, because you can now buy Harry Potter tights with actual Harry Potter quotes on. Who needs books hey?
TightsShop on Etsy are selling these magical garms and if you're not a HP fan (we haven't got time to argue about this now) don't worry, because they have a whole range of literary tights.

Game of Thrones anybody?



Or how about Romeo and Juliet? Spoiler, these DON'T come with Leo's face printed on the crotch area. But maybe that's something to think about next time TightsShop?
