Are tights part of your everyday life? Then you do not have to go without them on holiday. Whether it is a seaside promenade, a city break or a hike, the right pair of tights keeps you well dressed and comfortable. Here are our tips for every destination, for plus sizes from 40 to 62.
Tights by the sea: light and open for sandals
On the beach itself, tights are out of place. But for an evening on the promenade, dinner at a restaurant or a trip into town, a pair of sheer tights goes nicely with a summer dress. They give your legs an even look and conceal minor redness. Choose sheer 20 denier tights, as they are the lightest. With sandals and peep-toes, Glamory Toeless 20 are your best choice. They have an open toe, so your toes stay free.
City break: comfortable for long days
In Paris, Rome or Vienna, you are often on your feet all day. Sheer tights with a skirt or dress and comfortable trainers or ballet flats are a good combination. For days like these, Glamory Satin 20 are a great fit: they are 20 denier with a subtle satin sheen. The brief and thigh sections are cut extra roomy, and the toe is reinforced. In air-conditioned museums and on cooler evenings, tights also give you a thin extra layer.
Long journeys: light support for your legs
If you sit for a long time while travelling, whether in the car, on a coach or on a plane, support tights can feel pleasant. Glamory Vital 40 support tights give your legs gentle support (support class 1) and help them feel lighter and fresher. They are not medical compression tights.
Countryside and hiking: warm rather than sheer
Sheer tights are not made for hiking through undergrowth, as twigs and thorns can cause ladders. Under hiking trousers or a knee-length skirt, however, opaque tights keep you pleasantly warm on cool days and in the mountains. For an opaque option, we recommend Glamory Vital 70 support tights at 70 denier.
Packing tip: tights take up hardly any space
Tights are light and fit into any corner of your suitcase. It is best to pack one pair more than you need. To keep them intact on the journey, put them in a small laundry bag. You can hand wash them at 30°C while travelling too, then let them air dry.
