Top Tights: The Top Ten Summer Essentials From MyTights.com

    LONDON, ENGLAND, June 30, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- This week our founder Laura has chosen her top ten essential products for the summer. From classic bare leg look sheers to cute ankle socks, the list have everything you could possibly need for summer... except perhaps an umbrella! Including tights, Spanx, socks and more, read on to find out which products you never knew you couldn't live without.

1. Bare Leg Look Sheers
Sheers are a summer staple and the Falke Shelina Tights are the best around for giving a flawless bare leg look. They are 12 denier with and 8 denier appearance, so they are more durable than the average bare leg look product, and come in a gorgeous variety of shades so you can match them perfectly to your skin colour. We guarantee you will get hooked on these!

2. Light Shapewear
Nothing is better for the ego than a streamlining shaping product giving you a gorgeous smooth silhouette, and the Spanx Undie-tectables range is our favourite for the summer because it is so lightweight. The bodysuit in particular gives light all over shaping and firming combined with all day comfort. Perfect under all of your summer dresses.

3. Footless Tights
Footless tights are the product to turn to if you're unsure how the day's weather is going to turn out. They'll give your legs some coverage and let you wear your flip flops and sandals, plus they come in a huge range of colours so you can really make a statement! Wear them under shorts, dresses or skirts and they will instantly change your look.

4. Toeless Tights
Toeless Tights are another summer staple and a great invention. Oroblu are an Italian company whose products have a really superior finish, and their Sunny 8 Toeless Tights are gorgeously light to wear and have completely flat seams so if you choose the right shade you won't be able to see where your tights end and your toes begin. Peep toe shoes are the style of the summer and now you can wear yours AND get gorgeous coverage for your legs.

5. Classic Net
Fishnet tights are a hosiery classic and will never go out of style. Levante Fishnet Tights in Natural are a favourite for the summer because they will give the leg-conscious a bit of coverage but will let your skin breathe when it's hot outside. Or choose black nets for a vampish twist to a demure dress. There's a reason fishnets have been around forever - they're so easy to wear and always look great.

6. Elegant Lace
Lace tights are another wardrobe classic and in recent years the range of styles has expanded to suit every taste. There are lots of variations on the theme so make sure you browse a selection before you settle on your favourite. We love the new in Mary Portas & Charnos Tattoo Lace Tights, which are gorgeously feminine and will make you feel a million dollars. For an extra summery touch or to make the look work for daytime take a look at the lace hosiery we have in pale grey and cream shades.

7. Polka Dots
Patterned tights are sometimes tricky to pull off but spotty styles are so easy to wear and look great on everyone. Cheryl Cole got heads turning when she wore an oversized spots design last year and a trend was born - since then we've seen tons of celebs with spotty legs. Team the Mary Portas & Charnos Sheer Spot Tights with shorts and a sheer blouse for a laid back weekend look.

8. Bold Colours
The British weather is so unpredictable that it's wise to have a light opaque in your summer wardrobe and bold colours are the order of the day. You can't go wrong with the Jonathan Aston 40D opaque tights, which are available in an enormous range of shades and are the perfect thickness to give you a little warmth on those "summer" days when the temperature is less than balmy.

9. Ankle Socks
On the other hand, there will (hopefully) be a day or two when it's so hot you just can't face wearing tights and we highly recommend trying out the ankle socks trend when this happens. The Transparenze Monique Ankle Socks come in loads of cute colours and will look super sweet with pumps or heels. If you fancy rocking the trend when it gets colder, simply wear them over your bare leg look tights.

10. Footliners
Footliners are an often overlooked must-have in the summer months. They will keep your feet feeling fresh all day and protect your shoes, too. Most styles are cut so that they're invisible when you wear pumps although there are some fashion versions available too that are designed to peek out of your shoes. The Trasparenze Peggie Foot Covers are ideal at only GBP3.95 and will give your feet protection that no one else will know is there!
