There are so many types of tights available these days that you’re sure to find a flattering pair no matter what your shape or size. If you’ve got fabulous curvaceous legs and want to know what to wear to make them look their best, here are a few ideas.
Shapely legs can be fantastic, and many people want to show them off. If want to show them off in the best possible light, it’s wise to go for matte versions rather than those with a high gloss tights or sheen effect. Shiny material reflects light and draws attention to the areas that light hits, which isn’t always what you want to do if you’re particularly curvaceous. Matte tights are more slimming and generally help to visibly smooth your body, so it would be wise to go for this type over shiny versions.
You might also want to avoid bright colours in tights too. This will only bring attention to the leg area, and if you’re looking to make them appear slimmer then bright colours will certainly not be your friend.
You may also wish to give some consideration when choosing stockings and hold ups. If your skirt is higher than the band of the stocking, while it can sometimes look sexy, it may generally cut your legs off at a particularly unflattering place rather than leaving you with the smooth, sleek silhouette of tights.
Support tights on the other hand may come in useful for anyone that wishes to flatter their legs. It used to be believed that only old people with unsightly legs would ever dream of wearing support hosiery, but this is no longer the case. People have cottoned on to the fact that support tights hold you in in all the right places, and can make shapely legs appear smoother, firmer and more defined.
Manufacturers have taken this one step further, and have begun to manafacture control tights. Similar to support tights but more for the body-con market, they too support your legs in all the right places and even offer extra support in the hips and waist area as well. Some manafacturers claim to make you appear a dress size smaller. It saves many weeks on a diet.
Another great tip is to invest in a pair or two of caffeine tights. This wonder product not only looks amazing on legs, but the caffeine in them can make your legs smoother, firmer and can even shave up to 2cm off your thigh circumference.
As you can see, there are a number of you might choose to go for to flatter shapely, curvaceous legs. With this in mind take a look around and see what type of tights might suit you better.
