How can I make my tights last for as long as possible?Updated 2 months ago

The best way to keep tights out of landfills is to care for them well and wear them for as long as possible. Here are our top tips for extending their life:

Choose the right size

Always check the size chart before buying. If you're between sizes, go a size up for better comfort and less tension on the fabric.

Put them on carefully

Gather the legs with your thumbs, start at the toe, and roll them up gently while seated. Never tug while standing, and avoid forcing them on.

Be mindful while wearing

Tights are delicate—avoid contact with jewelry or rough surfaces, and make sure your nails are filed to prevent snags.

Wash sparingly and gently

Wash only after 3–4 wears. Hand wash or use a wash bag on the gentle cycle in cold water, and always air dry.

Store them properly

Organize your tights neatly to prevent tangling and damage. Avoid tossing them loosely into drawers where they might snag.

Caring for your tights not only saves money—it’s a simple way to reduce waste and shop more sustainably.
