Leggings are always one of the best mediums to put your designs to in the fashion world. Their thick and robust materials gives any design a real depth of colour and character that sheer fabric just can’t manage.

That’s why some of Pierre Mantoux’s best designs appear on a leggings version, if not on leggings exclusively. Here’s one from their most recent season that we really love.

Merry is certainly a good name for them. These are one of Pierre Mantoux’s most popular designs this season, and based on Pierre Mantoux’s incredible popularity, that really is saying something.

Pierre Mantoux’s designs are simple irresistible and we’re sure you can see why. Click the picture to get a closer look at this design or click here to see our entire collection of leggings.

Bahner are the very best brand we’ve ever had for support tights. This German leg wear designer has all the quality you’d expect from a brand with a long history and heritage behind it. They’ve been designing hosiery for decades and since then, their range has grown to become one of the biggest in its field. It includes some pretty incredible items, but nothing compares to their latest release. Bahner 140 are our strongest support tights yet.

It’s a 140 denier item, but that’s not nearly as impressive as its level of support. Bahner’s new support tights have a compression factor of 18. If you’ve tried our very popular Elbeo range, you’ll know that previously, our strongest support tights only went up to factor 12, making for a very strong fabric indeed.

Bahner’s factor 18 design is far more robust and gives you a level of support you simply won’t find anywhere else. These support tights are only for those who need the most astounding compression around their legs. Combine its strength with Bahner’s signature Germanic quality and you have a truly unique item you won’t find from anyone else.

We have a very exciting piece of news for you today. UK Tights has made its very first infographic, A Brief History of Hosiery! “Well, that’s just swell, but what’s an infographic?” I hear you say. Infographics are pictures or graphics that organise certain information, in this case, a timeline. What a pie chart is to numbers, an inforgraphic is to facts. Simples!

They’re amazing things that are not only one of the easiest ways to get information, but they’re also one of the most fun too. Did you know that the first silk stockings were made by a Reverend? Also, did you know that hosiery was invented in Ancient Egypt? Well, sort of… it’s all in the fancy pic below. Check out our first attempt at this dramatic revolution in digital art. It takes a look at where your favourite hosiery come from and it’s packed with interesting goodies.

The official leg wear from one of the most anticipated movie adaptations of all time is now ready to purchase from UK Tights. Fogal’s new range of leg wear is the same as the designs worn by Carey Mulligan and the rest of the ladies in the The Great Gatsby.

The range is simply stunning, with some of the most creative and yet the most authentic designs that Fogal have ever released.

Bijox is one of the more detailed of their designs. It’s packed with opulence and features a beautiful back seam of real crystals, making it their most luxurious item.

Charlston is different from the rest of The Great Gatsby tights and hold ups. It’s much more simplistic than the others, but it’s not a reserved design by any stretch of the imagination. The simple lines are very Art Deco, perfect for adding a dynamic and energetic look to any outfit.

Chouchou is the only hold ups design in the most recent range and it’s also the most traditional. The filigree around the thighs and the sole of the feet make it a truly vintage piece of fashion. The back seam is also a staple of leg wear, but it’s the most modern element of Chouchou and the most familiar to the 20s theme a Gatsby inspired item needs.

The last item in Fogal’s new offering is the Charleston Lace, which has a level of detail that rivals most artwork out there. The front of the design certainly captures gazes, and the front seam then transports them upward to your hips. It’s a design that works perfectly and makes any outfit evolve into something incredible.

You can get your own Gatsby items from UK Tights, the exclusive online retailer for these official motion picture pieces. Click here to see our entire Fogal range and capture the beauty, the richness and the decadence that made New York the fashion capital of the world.

Jonathan Aston’s fashion tights have never been disappointing. What separates a disappointing fashion tights, or any clothing, from brilliant ones? Simply, it’s about being interesting. Jonathan Aston think outside the box and do more than just make stripes and spots work in their favour more than they did last season.

They add originality to their line and do things that’ve never been tried before. This makes Jonathan Aston’s work ultra hip and easy to love.

One of the perfect examples of their consumate skill in this field is the new Hash Tag Fashion Tights design. It’s simply beautiful and it breaks the fashion world’s habit of constantly referencing itself, constantly recycling. These fashion tights talk to fashionistas on whole different level and make fashion tights draw inspiration from more than just other clothing. This is a design the modern and future world of technology, social interaction and sharing.

We also like to think we’re pretty hip too. We use hash tags and things right here. Go to our Twitter page using that link right there and start following us. You can even get 20% your next order with us.

A movie adaptation is always a gamble. It’s hard to recreate something that was so good it was worth recreating in the first place, if that makes any sense. But find the right visionaries, put them in charge and you have the chemistry for something incredible.

The movie adaptation of the year is The Great Gatsby released today. Is it going to be one of the incredible ones? Baz Luhrmann directs, Jack White plays in the trailer, and DiCaprio is the man himself. We think so.

Gatsby is one of the memorable stories ever. It’s film adaptation looks to be a beautiful and entertaining triumph of cinema. But we’re getting excited about something else entirely.

One of our most important brands, Fogal, has supplied the legwear for the film.

We were immensely proud to become Fogal’s only online retailer. We’re still proud and have become even more so with the news that one of the greatest novels ever written will come to life with the help of one of our closest partners.

The story is set in Jazz Era New York, in the summer of 1922. The 20s was the decade of stockings, a time when legwear was just emerging and seams were a must for any formal outfit. It’s one of the most iconic times in fashion history and its beauty and its legwear are inseparable.

Combine one of the most opulent times in our recent history with Mr. Lurhmann’s signature theatricality and you have a film that demands the finest of everything.

Fogal make the finest hosiery in the world and they’re perfect for a cinematic experience like this one. To see our whole Fogal range, click here and find some truly iconic for your own wardrobe.

They truly have though of everything, haven’t they?

It is spring and now’s the time people are starting to get married. Bridal wear is such a traditional kind of clothing and few want to deviate from those iconic garments. The long gown, the lace, the veil or headdress. They’re all tried and tested and they look beautiful each and every year that passes.

But what if you simply don’t feel comfortable in something? Some people hate stockings and hold ups. They just aren’t the kind of things a lot of people prefer to wear and a lot of people find tights far more comfortable.

It seems that the only thing to do is compromise between traditional style and personal preference… But of course, we’re all about choice, so that simply isn’t going to fly with us.

These are the new lace top tights from Couture. Lace top tights have never been done before, but Couture is a brilliant brand that is all about precision and perfection. They hardly ever produce fashion items out of their love for long lasting style over trends. This bridal tights design, then, has been put together by people who want to solve a problem, not make something that’s more fad than functional.

It has all traditional elements of bridal wear that you know and love and it certainly won’t be out of the ordinary when it comes to pairing with a gown. But the difference between this and stockings is that it feels exactly like a pair of sheer tights. You hardly know you have them on.

That’s something  lot of designers neglect. They forget that the most important person is the one wearing the item, not the ones who might see it. These bridal tights are there to be worn and to be worn with comfort, style and ease. It’s a wonderful item and a welcome edition to our range.
