My Number One Summer Essential? Nude Tights.

Spring is here! Long evenings, warmer days, picnics, rose wine and … nude tights? You bet.

I am fed up of being told I can’t wear nude tights in the summer. I don’t care if it’s a fashion faux-pas, or if people tell me I’m Nora Batty. I love my Nude tights. And here’s why:

1. The world is not ready for my post-hibernation legs.

Spring is here! The sun is shining, the birds are singing! And my legs are automatically sun-kissed, smooth, even-toned and beautiful! Oh no, wait. They’re still marble-white and blotchy. And I refuse to get them out until I’ve spent two weeks on the Costa del Sol. Or I’ve fake tanned.

2. Who has time to shave their legs every day?

Not me! Well, maybe me. But I can’t be bothered. It’s too much effort. Slip on a pair of nude-tights and hey presto! You’re ready for the day.

3. Thigh chafing. Am I right? I am right.

Summer is synonymous with the sticky, clammy, red-raw inner-thigh. I’ve tried all the remedies – Vaseline, talcum powder, super-sexy knee-length underwear, affecting a permanent waddle – but nothing is as effective as a pair of nude tights. Trust me on this one.

4. I live in the UK. It’s just not that warm.

Last but not least. Fair enough if you’re living in Rome or Paris. But I live in the UK. Just because the warmer months are here, it doesn’t mean I’m ever actually warm.

So to all the fashion journalists telling me Nude tights are an abomination, I say: I don’t care! Nude tights are my favourite summer accessory, and they always will be.

Heist Tights come in two shades of Nude: Light and Dark.

At Heist, we speak body language.

We can all agree that shapewear is designed to support, which is why the real revolution in our designs is in what you don’t feel; no discomfort, no distractions.

Enter our signature HeroPanels™: bonded, zonal, shaping panels that give high performance compression, with high performance comfort.

What are HeroPanels™?

Our HeroPanels™ are created using a laminate that sits between the layers of our Sculpt shapewear. The adhesive we use is engineered to move, delivering optimum stretch and recovery while maintaining a sleek, smooth finish and soft hand feel for next-to-skin comfort.

It’s like memory foam…but make it shapewear.

By designing our garments with the placement of our HeroPanels™ in mind, we’re able to make shapewear that slims and sculpts you exactly where you want it, without squeezing you unnecessarily where you don’t.

The results you’re after, without the compromise.

Let's talk breathability

To make our garments breathable (whilst still having the support you want), we've added curved laser perforations in key areas that promote and enhance breathability to let your body cool without losing that crucial supportive hold.

Shapewear with high performance compression, that feels comfortable, has breathability and that looks good? We know it sounds too good to be true, but that’s what HeroPanels™ are all about.
