Orange Tights

Which orange tights should I choose?

For solid colour, the Gipsy 100 Denier Luxury Opaque Tights are made in Italy and give a thick, warm orange with no skin showing through. For a lighter tint, the Trasparenze Oleandro Coloured Tights are 20 denier with a sheer body and colour on the leg. For texture, the Silky Fishnet Tights and Pamela Mann Fishnet Tights are classic nets in a range of colours, including orange. The Flirt Leopard Print Tights add an animal print. Each style gives a different look.

When are orange tights worn?

Orange tights suit Halloween costumes such as pumpkins, autumn outfits, festivals and fancy dress. They also suit 1960s and 1970s retro looks, sports team colours and charity events. For everyday wear, orange looks bold with navy, brown, olive and black. A darker orange opaque suits autumn, while a sheer or fishnet orange suits parties and summer events. Orange fishnets look fun with denim shorts.

How do I care for coloured tights?

Wash bright colours separately in cool water, as hot water can make them fade or run. Use a wash bag on a delicate cycle, or hand wash, and dry flat away from heat. Avoid tumble drying, which damages the stretch. Store coloured tights folded, and keep a note of which brand and shade you like so you can find them again.
