Black Tights, The Timeless Fashion Item
Which one of us would be without black tights as part of their wardrobe? We know that we wouldn’t. They are always popular, fashionable and elegant. And of course, they look great with everything. Black has never gone out of fashion, and it won’t anytime soon. Certainly not with black tights being one of our specialities. We decided to talk about everything you need to know about finding the perfect pair of black tights.
Where Do You Start With Black Tights?
We love choice, but there are so many different black tights on the market to choose from. It really can become a bit overwhelming. Telling the difference between one pair of sheers and another isn’t easy. And nor is it with opaques, for that matter. Our golden rule for finding what you need is always to go by brand. One of the best brands at the moment is Falke. They offer the perfect mix of quality and choice at the right price. Customers often ask us “what’s the best quality brand of hosiery you sell?” or something similar. It is hard to answer. We always ask “what kind of hosiery do you need?” in response. This is because every brand is specialised, and are great at different things.
Falke is one of the best brands we have ever encountered. They concentrate entirely on quality. And although they do release some very good designs. They are always aware that you need plain sheer black tights. And that you want them feeling and looking fantastic. Here’s a quick overview of some of our most popular black tights from Falke.
Seidenglatt
Falke Seidenglatt 15 is our best sellers. Not just from their range either, but any range. It is especially made to give a glossy finish to the leg. This is perfect for pairing with skirts that show off your legs a little bit. With Seidenglatt, you really make the most of your legs. These also come in 70 denier for those that want a little more coverage.
Shelina
Shelina 12 also happens to be a glossy item. But not as glossy as the Seidenglatt, so it is a nice balanced item. This makes them perfect for a subtler and more conservative office outfit. These come in a regular 12 denier too. And is that isn’t enough variety, there is very good quality hipster version and a toeless version too.
Pure Matt
And finally, Pure Matt 20. This is a totally non-glossy item, as the name suggests. That is probably something you have wanted to own one of for a while. It is also one of those things that you can just never find. Or not one that was any good. Good matte black tights just are not around as much as you might think. Pure Matt also come in a 50 denier version.
Black Tights From Other Designers
Of course, there are lots of other great brands to choose from. And as UK Tights is all about choice, we love to give readers both variety and good advice. Max Mara, one of our newer brands, is also great for black tights. They were of great interest to us when they cam onto our radar. When it was announced that UK Tights would be selling them online, we were very excited. And exclusively, no less. Max Mara is one of the biggest fashion designers in the world and features prominently in all four fashion weeks.
With their leg wear, Max Mara gives hosiery wearers something that many high fashion names haven’t. Namely, they have given them more choice. Freno are 50 denier black tights. That isn’t something that seen so much from the larger fashion designers. And Freno is exquisite to wear and is very popular right now.
Sheer tights form the core of Max Mara’s range are great. They have four different plain and sheer tights designs already available. Each design is specialised for different purposes. Such as the Gibus, a super sheer and super strong design. These are one of the most popular sheers we have available today. And even though they are 13 denier, they are highly durable and a pleasure to wear. And its good news, almost all of the Max Mara hosiery comes in that most popular of colours. So you’ll certainly not be short of black tights from this designer.
