Kristina Falke – Why Tights Should Be Worn All Year Round

-

 

Hosiery Brand Falke’s International PR Director, sat down with Hello! Fashion… written by Natalie Salmon Fashion Digital Editior

Falke’s tights have adorned the legs of the world’s most revered supermodels, household names like Victoria Beckham and Princess Diana and the brand has also collaborated with the likes of Manolo Blahnik, Phillip Lim. Not to mention they have of course been championed by fellow German Karl Lagerfeld, all thanks to Kristina.

Despite marrying into the sock trade, Kristina is clearly a hosiery aficionado all of her own accord, “they make the legs look much nicer,” she tells us, “Even in the summer, I wear the Shelina which is very thin and ‘people say, oh, you’re not wearing any tights’ and my legs just look nicer…. more one colour, you know, and you don’t see every little detail on your leg which you shouldn’t see.”

“Ultra-transparent tights that give your legs an incredibly natural look, like make-up on your skin”

Kristina gave Hello! Fashion the do’s and don’ts of hosiery

How do I prevent tights from snagging?

“Always check your fingernails before you put them on because if there’s even a small hangnail it can ruin it.”

How do I correctly wash my tights?

“Always wash them in a machine and put them into a little bag,” explains Falke, “Preferably on the wool cycle and don’t wash them over 30-40 degrees. Never put them in the tumble dryer, always air dry.”

What tight trends are going to be big for 2024?

“So much colour, a lot of colour and, and I think some glitter is coming back. I thought it was over but it’s not, we see a lot of gold coming back.”

How do you wear coloured or patterned tights?

“With black dresses and can put on some, some black tights with a pattern and you look different. It looks interesting. With the patterns and bright colours, you should put on the tights and then choose what you wear. But with a black dress, anything goes.”

How do I make my legs look longer in tights?

“If your legs are not so thin, don’t wear too bright colours. No yellow, no red, go for black and the more opaque, the better.”

Can you wear tights all year around?

“When spring comes, please keep on wearing tights, it just makes your legs look nicer.”

“Dots are a major highlight again this season. These transparent tights serve this trend with their modern polka dots. A classic, which goes perfect with any outfit and any occasion.”

One size does not fit all!

by Raven Taylor If you google ‘Better Tights’ the first thing that jumps out is this tagline- ‘one size does not fit all’- and that’s what first drew me in. I’m a fan of tights, always have been, I wore them every day during my time working in a busy retail environment, but my experience of this particular item of clothing was never smooth. On a good day I might just have to put up with my tights bunching round the ankles (I’m a relatively short person and every pair of tights I owned seemed to be made for people with long legs) or that uncomfortable feeling of the waist band digging in. On bad days it was the dreaded sagging crotch, resulting in me constantly grasping and tugging at the waist band as my tights slowly slipped lower and lower until I feared I was going to loose them completely and end up waddling around with them round my ankles. Nothing strikes fear into my heart more than seeing a pair of tights (or any clothes for that matter!) marked ‘one size fits ...

The Complete Guide To Opaque Tights

  The Complete Guide To Opaque Tights Opaque tights are some of the absolute best items of leg wear in the world. They are some of the most popular items of hosiery or leg wear too. They are true best sellers, and are every bit as versatile as any sheer tights can be. In fact, we believe they may very well be even more versatile, actually. But what is so special about these garments? What makes opaque tights as great as we say they are? Let’s find out. First Thing Is First, What Is Denier? Denier is a complex measurement, but one that is pretty simple to apply your leg wear. All fabrics have a denier, and very simply, it means the weight of the fabric. The little more complex answer is, it is a measurement of the linear mass density of fibre. It is the mass in grams of the fabric for every 9000 metres of fabric. It is based off the reference point of a strand of silk. A strand of silk weighs 9000 metres long weighs one gram. A strand of Nylon s...

  Taylor Swift uses a classic dancer’s trick to create perfectly smooth, glossy-looking legs on stage on her The Eras Tour and you can copy this hack right here at Tights Tights Tights . Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has become one of the biggest live tours in history, with millions of viewers enjoying her performances night after night. To keep herself looking her best even after spending hours on stage, Taylor employs a secret trick used by professional dancers which keeps her legs comfortable whilst also looking glossy and smooth. This easy hack involves layering two different pairs of tights over the top of each other. The first pair of tights is a sheer glossy skin coloured pair and natural fishnet tights over the top. Taylor Swift always wears two pairs of tights on stage. Double layering the tights not only gives an added layer of modesty (majorly important when you’re performing on stage) but also helps add a little colour back to your legs. This is becau...
