Tights Care Guide: Get More From the Pairs You Love
The tights you reach for deserve a little attention when you take them off, too. A gentle routine can help you look after the fabric without turning laundry into a project.

A care routine for real life
Before putting tights on, smooth rough nails and move rings or bracelets out of the way. Gather one leg, guide it over your foot, then ease the fabric up in sections. Avoid pulling sharply at the waistband, and check the inside of shoes for anything that might catch.
Follow the care instructions supplied with your particular pair. The store's FAQ recommends hand washing and hanging to dry; if machine washing, it recommends a gentle cycle and hanging to dry. Once dry, store tights away from rough fastenings. These steps are care advice, not a promise that fabric will never snag; visit the store's FAQ or policies for order and replacement questions.
Quick answer: Build your wardrobe around the deniers you actually wear rather than buying one style for every situation.

A practical tights care routine
- Before you put them on: remove rings or jewellery that could catch the fabric, and make sure hands are dry.
- When dressing: gather one leg of the tights down to the toe, place the foot first, then work upward gradually rather than pulling from the waistband.
- After wearing: follow the product’s care label. Keep hosiery separate from items with hooks, zips, or rough trims.
- For a snag or order issue: see the FAQ for the store’s current guidance and replacement/refund process.

Which tights are best for everyday wear?
For many wardrobes, a semi-opaque 40D pair is a useful everyday starting point. Choose a lighter denier for a sheerer effect or a higher denier for more coverage.
Which denier should I choose?
Choose 5D–15D for sheer coverage, 20D–40D for semi-opaque coverage, and 60D and above for opaque styles. Read the product page and size guidance before ordering.
Do you have plus-size tights?
Yes. The range includes 30D semi-opaque and 60D opaque plus-size styles. Visit the product page for the available options and size guidance.
What is the difference between 20D, 40D and 80D?
20D has a lighter semi-opaque appearance, 40D gives more everyday coverage, and 80D creates an opaque finish.
