As soon as I start moving around they tend to slide down and need pulling up every few minutes! Does anyone out there have any ideas how to prevent this.>>>>Many thanks.>>>>Mandy>>>Switch to wearing only tights made of lycra spandex. They cling to your legs and lower body no matter how much you move around. I gave up on nylon tights years ago, and how never regretted my choice of lycra spandex tights, leotards and unitards.>>>>>You might also want to check your sizing. I had always assumed that since I'm a guy and 6' tall, I needed size Q or the equivalent (figuring that the slippage I was experiencing was due to the tights being fashioned for a woman's hips), until I found a pair in a color I couldn't pass up in the next size down. They fit perfectly, and I've been snug in my tights ever since! -Depon> Depon,> I second your opinion! That's all I wear are womens microfibre tights>(Nordstroms Encore size Qx3) and they fit far better than any regular >nylon dance tights. They fit and feel great and come in many colors besides black and navy. My wife swears by them as well.>What brands do you recommend? >>>DKNY, though hard to find right now, are the absolute sine qua non, top-drawer, state-of-the-art tights. Macy's Charter Club are great as well, but really scarce, while Sears has a good house brand (Leg Express). I'll be trying the Nordstrom's as soon as I'm out at one-thanks for the tip! -Depon Answers to this message: |
