Comfortable Tights from Hipstik

Tights are a must have item in our wardrobe, at least they are for me. Although I admit that I hate wearing tights there are times they are necessary. So when Hipstik reached out to me and asked if I wanted to check out their tights I thought why not. The story of how Hipstik began is actually funny but one most women can relate to. Laura McGuire, the founder, came home from work and her husband noticed she had cut the front of her pantyhose. He asked what happened and she explained they were uncomfortable. After searching for a more comfortable pair with no luck she and her husband decided they needed to create them.

I can tell you now that comfort is one of the biggest reasons I rarely (if ever) wear hosiery. After the wakes and funerals that took place during Snowmageddon in 2011 and that was the last time I wore any sort of hosiery. My cousin and I had to help one another put those babies on in the bathroom at one point. Don’t ask! Talk about control, they were the worst thing ever! The ones I had wore was suppose to be thick so they could keep my legs warm. I froze!

I received the Plus Size Footless Tights in black and I will tell you I was a bit nervous putting them on. Were they going to be as awful as the others? First impressions were that I liked them.

They have a really pretty lace top that makes them feel upscale in my opinion. There is also a clear band on the inside that help them stay in place. They have a relaxed midrise fit on most bodies. Just how well did they wear? I LOVE them! I’m not even kidding but I will tell you more about that in a moment.

As you can see they are footless. I put on a tee and my Keds so that y’all could see the tights better than the outfit. I’m petite but these fit right at my ankle. I did pull them up a little higher on my waist but I have to do that with most hosiery. At least they were under my boobs! Those ones before were. We aren’t gonna talk about them, I still have nightmares.

As you can see they don’t show every fat roll I have. Trust me there are more than a few in my legs. I didn’t have to slowly pull them on as they felt a bit more stronger than regular hosiery tights. I can easily see myself wearing these with a couple of my dresses that I would typically only wear in the warmer months. These will extend my options into more seasons. That said they weren’t heavy or tight.

This was like wearing my favorite pair of leggings. They wore well and were so comfortable. They are certainly a pair of tights that I am more than thrilled to have as an addition to my wardrobe.
