Tights
Women's tights at Gina Tricot
Tights are an essential styling piece in every wardrobe and the perfect detail to complete your entire look. At Gina Tricot, you'll find women's tights in different deniers, colours, materials and styles – from sheer black tights and shaping tights to patterned tights, fishnet tights and ribbed styles.
Find the right tights for your style
Your choice of tights affects both the feel and expression of an outfit. Sheer nylon tights create a sleek and dressed-up look that is perfect for parties, dinners and more formal occasions. Ribbed tights and thicker styles in higher deniers are perfect during colder months and look great with knitted dresses, boots and loafers.
Fishnet tights and patterned tights are perfect when you want to create a more trendy or edgy look. Style them with a mini skirt, an oversized blazer or denim for an outfit that feels both modern and effortless. For extra comfort, you can choose shaping tights or high-waisted styles that stay comfortable all day long.
What does denier mean in tights?
Denier shows how sheer or opaque the tights are. Tights in 15–20 denier are sheer and transparent with a lightweight and almost invisible feel against the skin. They are perfect for parties, dresses and warmer days.
30–40 denier provides slightly more coverage while still allowing the legs to show through slightly. If you want a more opaque result, 60 denier and above is a great option, especially during autumn and winter when you want to combine style with warmth and comfort.
How to care for your tights
Tights are delicate garments that last longer with the right care. Wash your tights and nylon tights in a laundry bag on a delicate cycle or hand wash them to reduce the risk of runs and holes. Avoid using a tumble dryer and instead let the tights air dry to maintain their fit and elasticity. A smart tip is to always keep several pairs of black tights at home in different deniers so you can easily adapt your look to the season, outfit and occasion.
How can you tell the front and back of a pair of tights?
On many tights, the back is cut slightly higher to provide a better and more comfortable fit. You can often tell by the more visible seam at the back or by the label placed on the inside at the back. Some styles also feature an extra gusset at the back that helps the tights fit better and follow the shape of the body.
