I have all sorts of hang ups about texture & fit. Seriously, I'm crazy. I can't touch microfiber unless I have lotion on my hands and I most certainly hate, hate, hate to wear a pair of socks that don't fit or feel right. Just ask my mom. In the years & years I took ballet, every week it was the same struggle to find the one pair of tights that fit properly. When I say struggle, envision a 14 year old girl crying & screaming because her tights feel gross & like they're on backwards. As soon as I quit ballet, I quit wearing tights or any sort of sock for that matter. I couldn't do it.
Just in the last couple of years, tights have become a big thing in fashion. Wanting to participate in current fashion trends, I have given tights a second chance. While I have about 10+ pairs of tights, they're not all created equally. Some don't have a designated front or back (ANNOYING) while others might have a muffin-top-inducing elastic waistline. I hate both, but I typically sacrifice my sanity for the sake of fashion. Especially if it means just sporting them for a few hours on Sunday for church. I'm grown up enough to handle that. Most of the time.
When Hanes invited me to try a few samples of their new sheer tights, I was totally game. After all, they could be super comfortable. I am so glad I tried them out! They're great! They have a label differentiating the front from the back. The material is silky smooth even on spiky I-haven't-shaved-in-a-week legs. And then there's the waistband. Ooooh, the waistband is heavenly. It's smooth, flat & seamless. I'm a fan. Here's how I wore my tights yesterday:
