PUMA Women's Hose Burst Tights W Trousers

Product Information

As we become more open-minded and fashion-conscious in the 2020s and beyond, eco-friendly clothing is becoming increasingly important. Testers raved about the comfort of this pair, several commenting on the comfortable, stay-in-place waistband and soft feel. They're made from Sheertex®, a patent-pending polymer that's stronger than the nylons of yore, giving you unfettered rip-resistance and protection from snags, scuffs, pulls, and stretches. We tried its 7/8 leggings in black, also in a size E (UK 16-18 and 5'5 in height) and they are some of the best-fitting leggings we've owned.

The shaping tights are made with a 50 denier knit that Sheertex claims is softer than ever – but, crucially, just as strong.Luckily for me, there was no gap at the crotch, but had I been a size larger, I don’t think I would have been able to get them on properly.

If you don't like the bulky look or feel of fleece tights but still want to wear tights in colder weather, this pair impressed experts and testers alike. When you think of shapewear, chances are you picture Spanx — so it’s no surprise our panel loved the shaping capabilities of this style (without even knowing what brand they were wearing! The only thing with all lace tights is that they don't keep you as warm and aren't super soft, but for a classic pair, you can't go wrong with these. DKNY also offers more tights with varying opacity, including a super opaque version at 90 denier, which proved to be durable with strong seams in our tests, and more sheer options if you want something a little more see through.Bought for my little granddaughter who suffers with excema at back of her knees, thought these tights would be softer and more breathable than the norm, and they most certainly are, only time will tell if they help. You can also choose between sheer tights, made of thinner materials as well as opaque tights, which usually keep your legs warmer and are great for winter months. Consumer Testing: Consumer testers wear and rate tights on several factors including but not limited to how easy it is to put them on or take them off, the fit, the sizing, overall comfort, appearance, whether they look flattering, if the waistband stays in place throughout wear, if they maintained a comfortable temperature while wearing them and if they encountered any pilling, snagging, tears, runs, sags or stretching. For each pair, we measure several points along the front, back, crotch and toe seams as well as the fabric of the legs. The tights are super high quality and have a great feel BUT I had two pairs of black tights that started breaking at the waist seam.

I love that they don't have any seams making them so much more comfortable, their wide and soft waistband that is shaping and the super cute pattern around the toes.

A new type of hosiery emerged in the fifties thanks to Aristoc, the UK's longest-established hosiery brand. I tried to emulate a few things that have caused snags in my pair of tights in the past, like a jagged toenail snagging them—for which I dragged a safety pin up and down the legs—or getting them caught on a corner as I pull them out of my dresser, for which I used my actual dresser. Sizing: Our testers found the brand's tights true to size, with those between sizes opting to size up for a more comfortable fit. Lexie joined Good Housekeeping in 2013 and has extensively tested apparel of all kind — including swimsuits, workout leggings, pajamas and more — using specialized lab equipment and with hundreds of consumer testers.
