We have all been there. We have scoured the stores and internet on the hunt for the perfect pair of tights. We have heard some of the issues that may arise, ultimately setting us on this feat. To help with your search, we have compiled a list of some of the most common problems with tights and offer our expert solutions, so you can find the right type and fit. 

Rolling Waistband

If you struggle because the waistband of your tights just won’t stay up, and you constantly find yourself pulling them up throughout the day, then you are probably dying for a solution. One of the biggest reasons this could be happening is because you simply don’t have the right fit. Sizing charts are good for estimating but don’t always consider your shape. 

Our Solution: If you find that you are in between sizes and have the rolling waistband issue, consider sizing one size up when purchasing new tights. You can also find a pair of tights designed with a deep waistband. They offer a great fit and give you the ideal silhouette while staying in place. 

Snags and Tears

If you find yourself battling constant snags, tears, and runs, even when you are putting on a new pair of tights, the problem might be that you need something thicker and more durable. It also helps to remove any jewelry you have on before putting your tights on to lessen the risk of snags and tears. 

Our Solution: Find a thicker pair of tights that are more durable than a sheer pair. They can handle more wear and tear than sheer options and can minimize the risk of a run halfway through your workday. Cotton tights are a great option and are cozy and highly fashionable. 

Cold Legs

As we approach winter, we will see a temperature drop, which will cause many of us to reach for our tights that will soon become a winter staple in our wardrobe. Some women wear tights when it is too cold to go bare while wearing a dress or a skirt. However, thinner tights are not going to keep you warm.

Our Solution: Fleece-lined tights or those with a thicker denier will be best for colder temperatures. They provide the added warmth you need and are also becoming a popular choice because they add style to any outfit.
