Product Information

Full details

These 80 Denier Opaque Fashion Tights from Sock Snob are designed for adults seeking comfortable, stylish legwear for everyday and evening use. The key benefit is their substantial thickness providing warmth and a smooth, flattering fit with a luxurious matt velvet finish. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are primarily for fashion and may not offer the same level of support as specialized hosiery. Key features include 80 denier opacity, soft touch, flattering fit, warmth, and a matt velvet finish, available in multiple colours and sizes up to UK 24.

FAQs

What is the best way to put on these tights?

Gather the tights to the toe, step into them, and gently pull them up evenly over your legs, smoothing out any wrinkles as you go. Avoid pulling too hard from the waistband.

Are these tights suitable for very cold weather?

The 80 denier thickness provides good warmth, making them suitable for autumn and winter. For extreme cold, layering or heavier hosiery might be necessary.

Can I wear these for sports or physical activity?

These are fashion tights designed for style and everyday wear. They do not offer compression support and may not withstand the stress of rigorous physical activity.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the brand's size chart, which typically considers height and weight, to find the best fit for your body shape.

What does 'denier' mean in relation to tights?

Denier (D) is a unit of measurement for the thickness of the fabric's yarns. A higher denier number, like 80D, indicates thicker, more opaque, and generally warmer fabric.

Can these tights be worn with open-toe shoes?

While possible, wearing opaque tights with open-toe shoes is a matter of personal style. They are more commonly worn with closed-toe footwear.

How long should these tights last?

With proper care, including gentle washing and air drying, these high-quality tights should offer good durability for regular wear. However, like all hosiery, they are susceptible to snags.

Troubleshooting

Tights snag easily.

Handle with clean hands, avoid sharp jewellery, and be careful around rough surfaces. Consider wearing them for less strenuous activities if snagging is a frequent problem.

Uneven stretching or bagging.

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. Wearing the correct size minimizes bagging and provides a better fit.

Tights feel too warm.

These 80 denier tights are designed for warmth. For warmer weather, consider a lower denier option. They are best suited for cooler climates or indoor environments.

Colour transfer during washing.

Wash with similar colours in cold water on a gentle cycle. If significant colour transfer occurs, wash them separately for the first few washes.

Pros and Cons

  • Luxurious matt velvet finish for a sophisticated look.
  • Provides noticeable warmth, making them suitable for cooler days.
  • Comfortable to wear due to soft-touch yarns.
  • Available in a wide range of colours and sizes, including larger sizes.
  • Easy to care for with machine washability.

Cons

  • May snag or ladder if not handled carefully.
  • 80 denier might be too warm for very hot weather.
  • Does not offer graduated compression for circulation benefits.
  • Fit can vary depending on individual leg shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These tights require no setup; simply remove them from the packaging and put them on. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: These fashion tights are compatible with a wide range of women's clothing, including dresses, skirts, tunics, and shorts. They are designed for adult wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Use cold water.
  • Drying: It is best to air dry the tights. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the delicate fibres.
  • Handling: Handle with care to prevent snags or tears, especially when putting them on or taking them off. Avoid sharp jewellery or rough surfaces.
