These proven strategies from seasoned fashion experts will help your tights stay flawless from morning to night.
1. Choose the Right Tights
Examine options carefully in-store. Higher denier means greater durability. Pay attention to sizing—if you're tall or curvy, opt for a larger size for a comfortable, strain-free fit.
2. Mind Your Nails
Before donning your tights, ensure fingernails and toenails are trimmed smooth and free of snags to avoid tears before you even step out.
3. Wash with Care
Hand washing is best for longevity. In the machine, enclose them in a laundry bag and avoid cycles with garments featuring zippers or sharp edges.
4. Always Have a Backup Plan
Stash an extra pair in your bag and keep legs shaved and moisturized. For immediate fixes, dab clear nail polish on runs to prevent them from laddering further.
