Tips for wearing tights to a wedding
When choosing an outfit for a wedding, picking the right dress is only part of the challenge. To get the look right, you will also need to consider what accessories you are wearing, and this includes your tights.
Understand denier counts
Different denier counts of the tights will be suitable for different types of weddings. For a formal wedding, consider a higher count, so 40 – 80 denier tights will be perfect. For a more informal do, lower denier or sheer tights, such as 10 – 30 denier, are suitable.
Groom your legs
Smooth-well groomed legs will help tights look better, giving a more polished appearance. Consider also your fingernails so that you reduce the risk of sharp edges causing a snag as you put the tights on. Also, opt for good-quality tights to reduce the risk of laddering, such as from //www.bettertights.com/collections/80-denier-tights. You should still keep a spare pair in your bag, just in case.
Check the fit
For tights to look their best, you need tights that fit well, so they hug the legs in a comfortable way without either tightness or sagging. For further comfort, choose tights made from a breathable material like microfiber or nylon.
Dress code
Your tights should fit the dress code. For a formal wedding, classic tights without bold colours or patterns will look stylish and elegant. An informal wedding gives you more scope to experiment, with patterns or different coloured tights might be suitable. By considering the wedding etiquette, you can make sure your tights stand out for the right reason. Of course, it goes without saying that your pattern should not upstage the bride.
The season
Tights are not only there to look good – they also keep your legs warm. This means in cooler weather, higher denier tights in a rich, dark shade, paired with boots, will look smart while keeping your legs at a comfortable temperature. In the summer, sheer or low-denier tights in light or pastel shades worn with strappy sandals will provide a fresh, attractive look without leaving you overheated.
