Dimensional Stability: To gauge washability and dimensional stability, each pair is washed according to its care label and measured for shrinkage or growth after the first wash and then again after multiple washes. Grace Wu is a textiles product review analyst at the Good Housekeeping Institute who oversaw all recent in-Lab and consumer tests for several types of hosiery, including tights and socks. We believe that strength is sexy, boldness can coexist alongside femininity, and being a bit of a badass is just more fun. Designed with an elasticated waistband and flat locked seams, these extremely comfortable workout pants are great for hiking with friends, working out in the gym, whilst out on a run, doing CrossFit or just relaxing around the house. Tights can be fickle and delicate, with the most high-maintenance pairs requiring you to hand wash them.

Tights are worn by male and female athletes, performers, dancers, drag artists, burlesque artists, office workers, air hostesses, and students heading out on the town.Tights vary in length, but often not by width, so it can be so tricky to find a pair that fit and are comfortable without being too small and causing chafing, or being too big and falling down your legs when you walk. Prior to starting at Good Housekeeping in 2022, she earned a master of engineering in materials science and engineering and a bachelor of science in fiber science from Cornell University.

I really like both the thinner and thicker pair of tights I bought, they look elegant, are comfortable and the thicker ones keep you warm. As such, I feel good saying that, if you are a person who likes to wear tights or pantyhose and don’t mind spending a little more money for the privilege to stomp on them as much as you want (and maybe a little more), these are a solid investment. If it's a hole that you're dealing with, then one of the best tips to stop it from running is to dab a bit of clear nail varnish onto the edge to 'seal' it. We're happy to hear that you're such a big fan of the tights and that you appreciate the feel and the comfort.

It doesn’t matter what size you are or what shape your body is either, you’ll find something here to suit you as Snag tights range from size 4 to size 36.
