Updated: September 2026 I'll never give up my tights — but I know that's not true for everyone. A lot of us have a love-hate relationship with ours. Some find them irritating, too tight, or just plain uncomfortable — but there's no denying they're essential for building outfits across every season. So whether you love them or hate them, here are a few practical tips that might convince even the biggest skeptics to give tights one more chance. Here's how to wear tights, even if you hate them For the girl who hates tights because they rip You can't stand tights because no matter how careful you are, they always end up ripping? The fix: a higher denier — like our over-the-knee tights, built with a thicker denier from the ankle to the thigh, where wear hits hardest, and a lighter denier up top. The perfect mix of durable opacity and an elegant silhouette. Fewer snags, more wear, without giving up on style. For the girl who hates tights because they don't keep her warm You skip nylons because it's too cold out in winter? Reach for tights in other materials like cotton or merino wool. These materials are built for winter and will keep you warm, guaranteed. For the girl who hates tights because they pinch at the waist Convinced all tights are uncomfortable and squeeze too much at the waist? You're probably buying the wrong size. Tights sizing is based on your weight and height, and often differs from your pants size. Check out our guide to choosing the right tights size to find yours — and if you're between two sizes, size up. Our tights are also built with a wide waistband that won't dig in, for maximum comfort no matter your size. You'll feel so much better! Still convinced you hate tights? Will you give them one more chance? Xo,Rachel
