Tights for weddings? Wedding season is just around the corner, or perhaps you've even been invited to a romantic winter wedding? Whatever the season, a wedding is an emotional marathon, but it's also a marathon for your feet and legs. From the "I do" and the drinks reception to dancing late into the night, your outfit has to be just right.
Today it's all about the question every bride and every female guest asks sooner or later: what are the right tights for weddings? We'll show you how to combine elegance with total comfort, especially for curvy women who don't want to compromise.
1. Wedding tights for the bride: tights or stay-ups?
The wedding dress is the star, but what you wear underneath decides how comfortable you feel. Many brides face a choice: classic tights or stay-ups?
- Classic tights: they give you a secure feeling, gently shape your silhouette and stop your thighs rubbing together. Be sure to choose light shades such as "Champagne", "White" or a very delicate "Make up" that matches your skin tone.
- The seductive alternative: under full-skirted wedding dresses in particular, stay-ups are often the more practical choice. Why? Think about going to the loo! With a big hooped skirt, it's much easier to pull down just your knickers rather than a whole pair of tights. Plus, the lace top gives you a sexy feeling: your little secret for the wedding night.
2. For wedding guests: etiquette for your legs
As a guest, you want to look elegant without stealing the bride's thunder. The dress code often decides what you wear on your legs.
At a classic, formal ceremony, the rule still applies: no bare legs. Even in summer, a pair of ultra-fine tights (5 to 20 denier) is good form. Go for ultra-sheer, matt styles that look like a second skin (the "nude look"). They make your legs look more even and disguise small imperfections without drawing attention.
For the party in the evening, you can add a little more glamour: our Glamory Satin 20 gives your legs an elegant shimmer that looks fabulous under the dance floor lights.
3. Open-toe shoes? No problem!
A common dilemma: you've bought beautiful peep-toes or sandals to go with your dress, but you don't want to wear them barefoot and risk blisters? Thanks to Glamory, the old fashion rule "no tights with open-toe shoes" is history.
Our solution is toeless tights. The toe band ends just before your toes, so your freshly pedicured feet stay free, while your legs look perfectly polished and your feet get better grip in your shoes than they would barefoot. That way, you combine summery lightness with the comfort of hosiery.
4. Winter weddings: stylish protection from the cold
If you're getting married or celebrating in autumn or winter, there's no need to freeze. Opaque tights (40 denier and up) are perfectly acceptable here, as long as they look high quality. Deep black, velvety tights look incredibly elegant with a coloured cocktail dress (in burgundy, emerald green or royal blue, for example) and make your legs look longer.
5. The emergency kit for the maid of honour
A little tip for all maids of honour: pack an SOS kit! Even the most expensive tights can snag on a sharp chair. Nothing lifts the bride's mood faster than a spare pair of tights that you pull out like a rabbit from a hat.
