Tights are in the wardrobe of any modern woman and children of both sexes of preschool age. Products of this category are worn for the sake of warmth in the cold season, and solely for beauty and "decency" - in the warm. Choosing tights, sizes are not always easy to understand “by eye”. Tables of different manufacturers differ in their parameters, and the marking itself is often expressed in letters or numbers. How to learn to read all these designations correctly?
Subtleties of choice
Learning to choose the right tights by size is very important. Products of this category, as well as underwear, are not subject to return or exchange. Most manufacturers produce tights in sealed individual packaging. Accordingly, when choosing, the buyer does not have the opportunity to deploy the product and evaluate its size visually. One has to rely only on the labeling and not always clear tables of conformity of sizes depicted on the package. How to choose tights? The sizes of clothes for legs are easy to remember.
Women's nylon tights
The dimensional grid of thin elastic tights for women implies differences for neighboring positions in terms of growth and completeness of the figure of the model. The most common digital marking is from 1 to 5. But what does the size of women's tights mean, and how to find your number? Unit (1) is products intended for women, up to 160 cm tall and weighing up to 50 kg. Women whose height is 160-170 cm and weight is less than 70 kg should choose tights of the second size. “Three” (3) - products for ladies weighing no more than 75 kg and having a height of up to 175 cm. The fourth size is for women weighing up to 85 kg and a height of less than 185 cm. “Five” is Plus Size. But how to choose a suitable product for those whose parameters are on the border of two descriptive parameters? Tights, the sizes of which are expressed in numbers, should not be taken with a large margin. If your weight is 75-76 kilograms and your height is 173 cm, try the third size, the fourth will most likely not sit well and will be great.
Letter sizes
Today on sale you can also find women's tights, the sizes of which are expressed in letters in the manner of European marking of clothing. Remembering the real measurements of such products is simple, focusing on the classical digital system for Russia. The correct correspondence of the sizes of the two markings is as follows: 1 - XS, 2 - S, 3 - M, 4 - L, 5 - XL. Self-respecting manufacturers of tights must place special tables for determining the dimensions on the packaging of the product. Consider the fact that the more lycra is in the composition of the product, the more it stretches. Some superelastic tights can even be taken one size smaller if your options are in close proximity to the larger starting bar.
Tights for children
Choosing tights for a child is much more difficult than for an adult, because children are constantly growing, especially at an early age. Two systems are used to indicate the sizes of children's clothing: by age and by height. The second is much more convenient and reliable, because all babies grow in different ways. Another child at three years old meets the parameters of two years, and the other, on the contrary, at 4 years old wears a size intended for six years. Modern manufacturers offer tights for children from 3 months and 6-7 years. The smallest size: 62-68 (respectively, in cm, in height), and the largest - 116-122. Complicated tables exist to help determine the correct markings, which take into account indicators such as foot length and chest circumference. In fact, in our country the sizes of children's tights are most common, expressed in height (cm), and therefore for the right choice it is enough only to measure the child before going to the store.
