Product Information
Full details
The Elle 20 Denier Shaping Tights are ideal for adult women seeking a polished, streamlined silhouette without sacrificing comfort. These tights provide a flattering contour from the waist to the hips, featuring a sheer matte finish that complements both professional attire and evening wear. While they excel at smoothing and shaping, users should note that the 20-denier sheer material requires careful handling to prevent snags compared to heavier, opaque hosiery.

FAQs
Are these tights truly opaque?
No, these are 20-denier, which is considered a sheer weight. They provide a translucent, matte finish.
Can I wear these with open-toed shoes?
While the toes are reinforced for durability, the seam may be visible. It is generally recommended to wear them with closed-toe shoes.
How does the shaping compare to heavy shapewear?
These offer a gentle contouring effect designed for all-day comfort rather than heavy-duty compression.
What is the material composition?
They are crafted from a high-quality polyester blend selected for its durability and elasticity.
Is the gusset cotton-lined?
The tights feature a sewn-in gusset designed for comfort and a seamless look, providing better fit than standard hosiery.
Do these tights stretch enough for taller individuals?
The polyester blend provides good flexibility; however, it is recommended to ensure you select the correct size based on your height and hip measurements for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Tights are twisting during wear
Ensure the sewn-in gusset is positioned correctly at the crotch before pulling the tights fully up to the waist.
Visible lines under clothing
The flat seams are designed to minimize this, but ensure the tights are pulled up fully and smoothed out to remove any bunching.
Difficulty getting the tights on
Use gloves or ensure your hands are smooth and free of hangnails to prevent catching the fabric during the pull-on process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Elle Shaping Tights maintain their elasticity and smoothing properties, follow these care instructions:
- Putting them on: Gently gather the legs of the tights before inserting your feet. Smooth them up slowly, ensuring the seams are aligned to avoid twisting.
- Washing: Hand wash in cool water using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy-duty fabric softeners which can degrade the synthetic fibers.
- Drying: Never tumble dry. Lay the tights flat on a clean towel or hang them over a smooth drying rack away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the material.
- Storage: Store away from sharp objects like jewelry or rough wooden surfaces that could cause pulls or ladders in the sheer fabric.
