Which Wolford winter tights should I choose?
The Wolford Merino Wool Tights are made with merino wool, which absorbs moisture and helps keep a pleasant temperature against the skin. Wool has a natural stretch of its own, so the leg needs little or no elastane. The Opaque 70 Matt Tights give a very even 70 denier look on the leg, with a matt finish. The Velvet De Luxe 50 Tights are opaque and soft as velvet, with an even matt look that suits any occasion.
Wool or opaque nylon for winter?
Wool tights are the warmest choice for very cold days, outdoor walks and long commutes, and they suit chunky knits, tweed skirts and boots. Opaque nylon tights such as the Opaque 70 Matt and Velvet De Luxe 50 are smoother and slimmer on the leg, so they suit fitted dresses, office wear and evenings. A higher denier gives more coverage and a little more warmth, so 70 denier is warmer than 50 denier.
How do I care for Wolford winter tights?
Hand wash wool tights in cool water with a wool detergent, and dry them flat, so they keep their shape. Nylon opaques can be hand washed or put in a wash bag on a delicate cycle. Do not tumble dry. Store wool tights folded, not hung, so they do not stretch. Remove rings before putting them on, and ease each leg up slowly so the fabric spreads evenly.
