How to Choose the Right Tights for Your Body Type

How to Choose the Right Tights for Your Body Type

Choosing the right tights for your body type can enhance your comfort and confidence. Here's a guide to help you select the perfect pair from Velvet Touch Tights.

1. Understanding Your Body Shape

Identifying your body shape is the first step. Common shapes include:

• Hourglass: Balanced bust and hips with a defined waist.

• Pear: Wider hips than shoulders.

• Apple: Broader upper body with slimmer legs.

• Rectangle: Uniform measurements without a defined waist.

• Inverted Triangle: Broad shoulders tapering to narrower hips.

2. Tights Recommendations by Body Shape

• Hourglass: Emphasize your balanced proportions with high-waisted tights that accentuate your waist. Solid colours or subtle patterns work well. Shop High-Waisted Tights

• Pear: Opt for darker-coloured tights to create a slimming effect on the lower body. Vertical patterns can elongate the legs. Shop Patterned Tights

• Apple: High-waisted tights with control tops can provide support and create a smoother silhouette. Darker shades are flattering. Shop Control Top Tights

• Rectangle: Create curves with patterned or textured tights. Bold designs add dimension to your legs. Shop Textured Tights

• Inverted Triangle: Balance your silhouette by choosing tights with patterns or brighter colours to draw attention to your lower body. Shop Coloured Tights

3. Fabric and Fit Considerations

• Fabric: Choose tights with a blend of stretch and structure for comfort and support. Look for features like gusseted crotches and flat seams to reduce chafing.

• Fit: Ensure the tights fit well without sagging or digging into your skin. Refer to sizing charts that consider height and weight for the best fit. Find Your Perfect Fit
