Tips for buying tights online

There’s little question that what we choose to wear on our legs is a reflection of our pragmatism, our sense of style, or sometimes both. Thanks to advances in fiber technology, our choices in tights, stockings, pantyhose, and other legwear have never been greater. And, thanks to the Internet, we can easily find products that simply aren’t available in our local stores. To find the best online source for legwear, use the following guidelines. So Check this out.



A Dedicated Site

While many apparel-related websites carry pantyhose and fashion tights, it’s best to shop at an online store that is dedicated to selling only legwear. In fact, go a step further and shop on a site that is a leader in supplying women with world-class hosiery. When you do, you’ll be able to select from the largest variety of products available. Because a dedicated site concentrates on one type of product, you will have access to all of the latest hosiery on the market. In addition, you’ll be able to draw on an incredible depth and breadth of knowledge about hosiery when making your selections. Because the site is highly specialized, you can be sure that everyone from the owner to the customer service representatives will provide you with accurate information and help.

Variety of Styles

A good online source for legwear will have a variety of types and styles of hosiery products. For example, they’ll have tights and pantyhose, but will also carry items like stockings, thigh highs, holdups, and bodystockings. Within a category like tights, you should be able to select from among a variety of fabrications, including velvety cottons, warm wools, and sleek microfibers. Similarly, since coloured hosiery is in vogue these days, you should be able to choose from among dozens of colors. And, of course, a wide variety of brands should be available.

Descriptions

A dedicated online hosiery site is much more likely than a non-specialty site to provide you with helpful and accurate descriptions of the products they carry. They will explain, for example, the difference between 30 denier and 80 denier tights, as well as the types of seams, panties, panels, and gussets that each style has.

Customer Ratings

One person’s idea of perfect tights may be another person’s nightmare. A site that enables customers to review and rate products will help you make an informed buying decision.

Price Point

A comprehensive online hosiery site will have products available at a variety of price points, so you can find a variety of legwear to fit your needs. Perhaps you need relatively inexpensive knee-highs to wear with slacks to work, but want to indulge in French silk stockings for special occasions. A great website will have it all.

Size Ranges

Regardless of what women are led to believe, one size doesn’t fit all. Women who are full-figured, who are petite, or who have very long legs are often left out when it comes to buying tights and other hosiery. A dedicated site that is committed to customer service will have beautiful styles available for virtually every body type, and will be able to answer any questions you may have about fit.

Where to buy tights online- UK retailer UK Tights

Got my tights next day and I didn't place my order till after the 3pm deadline. 

I get the newsletter and they seem to have at least 4-5 new products on every week, plus a new special offer every week. 

The site is really really easy to use, and they take PayPal. 

I phoned them to ask for some advice and the lady who answered the phone was lovely and really helped me out. 

Bad Points

Not found any yet

General Comments tried most of the other hosiery sites out there and had problems with all of them from time to time, plus I had to wait a few days for my orders. UK Tights so far after many orders has not let me down.

I bought a pair of tights from UK tights and sent them back to get them exchanged, but they wouldn't let me, quoting some hygiene legislation stopped them from taking back tights that have been taken out of the package. After checking with various places,incl the department that was supposed to have made the legislation, a consumer organisation (who had never heard of it) and the office of fair trading (who gives consumers the right to view the product they buy)I sent the information to the company, but decided I didn't have the time to really fight them, so I asked them to send the original tights back. They never arrived and the company stopped answering my emails. I will never buy from this company again and would advise others to stay far away from them. From the beginning of my dealings with them (when I wanted to send back the tights) the tone of their emails was very unfriendly and the customer service basically non-existent. I am only giving them one star because it is not possible on this site not to give any.

Sadly I had hopes up of finally getting stockings to fit me. I ordered them from UKTights.com and over 3 weeks later I still do not have them. I called after the maximum time given for delivery only to be met with a message from an 0845 number (for which we get charged more / minute and they will get a cut from BT)saying they are too busy to take the call. I then emailed them and still no answer. Now over 3 weeks after I placed my order I called again to find they still can't take the call due to the volume of business and not to leave a message. Who knows if they are still even trading, however their website still took my money and their phone line is still live. I think this is a scam now so be warned and don't bet burned like I did.

Where to buy tights online retailer- We love colours

My third place of places to buy tights, i found a little review below:

The appearance of the website is very clean but a little plain. It is very easy to navigate and the photos of the products are very warm and playful. I love the selection of tights and children’s dancewear. They have an interesting combination of products of available like shoelaces, gloves, and fishnet bodywear.

The color selection for the products is amazing. The color guide that is located on the left side of the page is really helpful, and I don’t think you could find a better color selection for tights anywhere if you tried. Ordering is as simple as it could possibly be. For anything that is one size only all you have to do do is click on the colored box that you want and click add to cart. This is nice considering there are so many color choices. Scrolling through all those colors would be a hassle.

They also offer care instructions and some good tips to preserve the bold colors of their products. This is a great to keep the shopper informed before ordering, rather than having them order and having to find out on their own.

Where to buy tights- Online retailer MyTights

My second post of online retailers selling tights and legwear.

A really good choice of legwear available. Save on postage by buying multiple items.

 Click on the picture above to take you to the shop. If anyone has purchased from above feel free to leave a comment about your experience. I have posted a couple of anonymous reviews below   but i must state they are not the opinion of the fashionmylegs blog or the author.

Good advice from front line staff. 1St rate delivery service. Quality products at a reasonable 

price.

I love Mytights.com. They have a fantastic range of hosiery that is difficult to get elsewhere. At the moment when funky tights are really in, Mytights have such a range it's incredible. Some of my favourite are Jonathan Aston who make some fabulous colours which Mytights stock. They are maybe a little over-priced for some of the more everyday brands, but buying a few pairs at once can save postage.

Speaking about the whole website everything is just fine: navigation, products descriptions, images, payment process; but when it comes to shipping some big problems they do have. First of all I am waiting my parcel for more than a month. OK some items there back ordered but still everything was shipped out 2 an a half week ago. Now after they renew their web site I don't have my order history any more so I can't check about my order status. But the worst thing about this that they don't reply to my emails. I'll try one more time. 
Maybe I need to be more patient...
