Natural Seamed Tights

Which contrast seamed tights should I choose?

A contrast seam stands out against a natural leg. What Katie Did makes three champagne tights: Contrast Seamed Tights Champagne/Black for the classic look, Champagne/Red for a bold touch, and Seamed Tights Champagne/Latte for a softer line. The Pamela Mann Jive Seamed Tights are nude with a black seam, and the Gipsy French Heel Contrast Seamed Tights add a contrast seam and a decorative French heel. These suit 1940s and 1950s inspired outfits.

Which subtle seamed tights are there?

The Oroblu Riga 20 Denier Backseam Tights are sheer with a seam and a pyramid detail at the heel, which looks elegant and less bold than a black contrast. The Giulia Love Chic Backseam Suspender Tights combine a sheer backseam with a mock suspender design, so they give a stocking look in one garment. Both suit evenings, weddings and smart occasions.

How do I keep the seam straight?

Put seamed tights on slowly, one leg at a time. Line the seam up with the centre of the heel before pulling up, and check it in a mirror before the tights reach the knee. It is much harder to straighten a seam once the tights are fully on. The right size helps, as tights that are too big are more likely to twist. See Seamed Tights.
