Rating of the best slimming and modeling tights for 2022

Women's legs should always be attractive and flawless. Such an element of clothing as tights will help to make them just like that. In the article we will talk about the best models of slimming and modeling tights.

A bit of history

Tights, in their usual form, appeared in the late 40s of the 20th century. Before that, stockings were popular among fashionistas.American dancer and film actress Ann Miller masterfully danced a fashionable and popular at that time dance - tap dance, in which the main role was assigned to the legs. And since neither the belt nor the garter could hold the stockings during such an energetic dance, it was decided to wear tights.

Panty hoses came into use en masse a little later, thanks to the American Allen Gent, in 1959 he was the director of a knitwear factory. The first tights were made of dense knitted fabric, but fashionistas met with enthusiasm and interest, and a couple of years later they began to produce seamless tights.

By the way, tights became popular and in demand, by the way, just in the 50-60s, mini-skirts and short dresses became fashionable, which did not allow hiding bandages from stockings, and tights became an excellent replacement for stockings.

About pantyhose

Thanks to this accessory, you can not only look perfect, but also perfectly emphasize the beauty of women's legs. Many modern manufacturers of this element of clothing offer various models of both tights and stockings, and there are a sufficient number of them. Tights differ in their density, they can also differ in their design and purpose. Such an accessory can be of a classic style, or to get rid of various defects. When choosing tights, decide for what purpose you are purchasing such an accessory.

Let's talk about features

Density and its characteristics

Women often pay attention to this criterion, since it affects the choice, depending on the season, the event for which this item of clothing is selected and, of course, the practicality of their socks.

If an accessory is chosen for an elegant outfit or a cocktail dress, then it is better to give preference to thin and almost imperceptible tights; for the cold season, you can choose tighter ones that are warm and comfortable.

Of course, the thinner and more transparent the tights, the more elegant they look on women's legs, but from the point of view of practicality, they will lose. They are torn quickly, and at best they will last for one fine evening. And here women have a dilemma, to choose practical or beautiful. Everything is individual here, so it is unnecessary to give any advice, let's look at the density in more detail.

Types of tights

They can be:

• ultra-thin (from six to ten DEN);
• thin (from twelve to thirty DEN);
• medium density (from thirty to fifty DEN);
• dense (from fifty to eighty DEN);
• very dense (over eighty DEN);
• warm (over eighty DEN).

About Density

This indicator indicates the density of the thread, but not their thickness. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between the concepts of thickness and density.
The DEN value is the thread index and the weight in grams. This indicator affects the thickness and degree of transparency of the product, but this is not the only value that affects this factor. Also, the thickness and transparency of the product is affected by the type of thread (yarn), knitting density and thread density (DEN).

High quality tights are made from quality threads, and a good thread with the same density is always thicker, since the thread is more expensive - it is yarn from finer fibers. The number of fibers and their length affect the softness, smoothness and elasticity of the product.

It matters when choosing tights and their fit on the figure.

About landing

There are tights with a classic fit and a low fit.

On low-rise models, you can see the words "vita bassa". They are a little more expensive in cost, because they have a complex belt design, and are well kept on the hips. In high quality products, there are models with an anatomical fit. The belt of such models is designed in such a way that its back part is slightly higher and the front part is lower. Such models of tights are comfortable, because they are fully consistent with the modern cut of clothing.

Often there are special corrective tights with a high fit, thanks to which the silhouette is perfect. But in order for the product to look great and not cause discomfort, it is important to pay attention to the right size, cut, degree of elasticity and a good belt.

The convenience and comfort of wearing such an item of clothing depends on their design. It matters which belt is on the tights, their cut, which connecting seam, whether there is a gusset, heel or toe, what dyes are used in their production.
It is customary to distinguish tights for every day and for other occasions. What matters is their design, with shorts or with a sealed toe. An elegant type of product is made with a transparent toe. Under trousers and for everyday wear, you can choose tights with shorts, and elegant tights are suitable for light, airy dresses.

Sometimes women of fashion, choosing this element of clothing, believe that models with shorts are more dense, but, alas, this is not the case. Many models have polyamide shorts, and there are those in which the upper part is in the form of lace bikini panties, such tights look aesthetically pleasing and beautiful.

Refined models often have a complex design, have a gusset, cost more, but also look perfect.

About gusset

Let's talk about such an element of the product as a gusset.Such models are convenient and comfortable, they are distinguished by a comfortable fit, thanks to which the tension in the place of the connecting seam is reduced.

In some models, this element is made of cotton, it is considered hygienic and belongs to high quality gussets.

Today, seamless type tights (solid knitted) are popular, in which there are no gussets.

Such products are improved, have a comfortable fit and do not restrict movement. Seamless tights have quickly become popular with shoppers because they allow for tight-fitting clothing, they are discreet and have a flattering fit.

The toe of tights also matters, in inexpensive models it is external and straight, in more expensive models it is round, anatomical. In some models, the toe is processed with a kettle seam, which is imperceptible to the touch.

Very often, tights are damaged at the toe, so when choosing a product, it is necessary to pay attention to the stitch frequency. The toe, depending on the model of tights and their design, can be dense or vice versa transparent.

The heat setting process is a separate procedure that resembles ironing. After passing through such a procedure, the product fits the leg well, wrinkles do not form when walking and bending, tights are easier to put on, the heel is in place, they do not twist along the leg.

Belt - elastic band - an element of tights that matters. In many models, it is made of elastic and dense braid, high quality tights have a wide belt. Such a product holds well, they do not hinder movements, do not slip or twist. Modern models have so-called 3D belts. Note that a high-quality elastic belt, when worn or washed, should not lose its elastic qualities, stretch or deform.

When buying a product, you should also pay attention to the composition, the manufacturer indicates this information on the packaging. For the most part, the product is made of polyamide and elastane, indicating their percentage. The main component is polyamide, and its content in the product is always more than elastane, which serves to improve the quality of the product. The quantitative content of elastane affects the shape, the formation of puffs and hooks. Its percentage in the product also affects the final price of the product, since it costs more than polyamide.

Information about the composition allows you to find out about the percentage of a particular component in the product, but does not indicate the quality of the thread. Popular manufacturers use high-quality material in the manufacture of the product, as evidenced by branded badges on the product packaging.

Another criterion by which tights can be distinguished is their shade. It can be matte, semi-matte or glossy. Today, products with a matte tint are more in demand, while walking some fashionistas prefer shiny tights, but fashion is a changeable value, and who knows, maybe everything will change next season.

About effects

As a rule, tights are found in the following options:

• with a supporting effect;
• corrective;
• combined.

The first models on the list are designed with specially distributed pressure on the leg, this product is tighter at the bottom of the leg and ankle and slightly looser at the top of the leg. Wearing a product of this model allows you to improve blood flow in the legs, the feeling of heaviness and the load on the veins decreases. The description of such tights is reflected in the names support, repos, riposante, comfort, relax.In addition, on the packaging of goods in the form of a diagram and arrows, this or that effect is indicated. If there is a desire to feel the claimed effect, then it is worth choosing high-density products, since models with a low density will not allow you to feel the effect.

Depending on the magnitude of the pressure, the products are divided into classes from the first to the fourth.

Products of the third and fourth types are worn for medical reasons and as prescribed by a doctor, since it is possible to dress them only with special devices.

Tights that are simply marked with a supportive effect can be worn without restrictions.

Products from zero to first class are preventive, and are recommended for people who are constantly on the move or those who lead a sedentary lifestyle or have such a nature of work, suitable for people who often travel long distances, suffering from vein disease, swelling and heaviness in legs.

Products of the second class and above can be worn only after consulting a doctor and have a number of contraindications.
Among the wide range there are tights for compression effect, which are popular.
Products with a corrective effect are distinguished by the fact that the upper part of the products is dense and elastic, thanks to shorts or panties it is visually possible to visually make the hips smaller, the stomach flat, and the buttocks rounded.
Thanks to such products, it is possible to correct the figure, and act in varying degrees on certain areas.

They are divided into the following types:

• SLIM;
• PUSH UP.

The first option allows you to collect and tighten the volume over the area of ​​influence.
The second option has a complex structure, at the top of the tights are dense and elastic, such a product is shaped and modeled.

Of course, products with various effects (modeling, corrective) have a high cost.
In a separate group of tights, one can also distinguish those that are suitable for expectant mothers. High-quality products of this model have an insert-bandage with a supporting effect at the bottom, as well as an anatomical elastic band at the top, which does not allow squeezing. Such products cannot be cheap in cost, since their design is well thought out, and the effect is noticeable and effective. When choosing a product, pay attention to the percentage of elastane in the composition and its quality.

Features of storage and care of the product

Many modern models on the packaging have a date of manufacture, which allows you to calculate the time of their storage. The optimal period is not more than one year.

An ideal storage place would be a closet or a regular wardrobe. The main condition is that the place is dry and there is no direct sunlight.

In addition to storage, caring for them is also important. Almost every manufacturer on the packaging indicates care recommendations that must be followed.

Wash the product exclusively in warm water, the temperature should be 30-40 degrees. There should be a low temperature, since a material such as elastane is quite susceptible to heat and loses its properties, which affects the practicality of the product. It is also better to use soap for washing, it is neutral and has less chemical activity.
After washing, the product should be wrung out easily and without much effort, it is not recommended to dry the product on the battery.

Some well-known tights manufacturers offer consumers special storage boxes, or textile bags and even gloves for putting on tights.

And in conclusion: choose high-quality and comfortable products, do not deprive yourself of the opportunity to make your legs and figure flawless, good choice and successful shopping!
