The Essentials for Choosing the Right Tights for You

Let’s be honest — we’ve all had a bad tights experience. Too tight, too long, rolling down at the waist or sliding as soon as you move. And sometimes, that unmistakable “figure skater look” — too shiny, too opaque, too 90s. The good news? Those days are over.

At Signé Sarah, we design tights that combine durability, comfort, and elegance — without compromise. And to make the most of them, it all starts with choosing the right shade and size.

1. The Shade: Don’t Cheat Your Natural Color

It’s tempting to go for a darker shade thinking it will give you a tanned look. In reality, a nude that’s too dark creates a visible contrast with your skin and loses that natural, seamless finish. For a true “bare leg” effect, always choose the shade that matches your real skin tone. The perfect nude is the one that blends into your leg, not the one that changes it.

At Signé Sarah, we offer two collections, each defined by its level of transparency:

  • DELUXE Unbreakable – Semi-Transparent (80 denier)

  • PRIMA Durable – Transparent (40 denier)

And within these, two carefully developed nude shades to complement most skin tones:

  • Nude Clair – a light, luminous beige, ideal for fair to medium complexions.

  • Nude Sunkissed – a warm beige with golden undertones that suits olive, bronzed, or lightly tanned skin.

Both shades and textures were created to deliver a smooth, natural look while maintaining the comfort and durability that define the Signé Sarah standard.

2. The Size: Trust Our Chart

A common reflex: sizing up “just in case.” At the Salon de la Femme, one out of two women told us, “I’ll take a size up so it doesn’t roll down.” But our tights are not sized by weight like many other brands. Our size chart was custom-designed to follow the silhouette based on two key measurements: height and hip width.

No need to size up. If you do, the fabric will be less stretched, thicker, and therefore more opaque. The result? A semi-opaque pair can easily become fully opaque — simply because the wrong size was chosen.

Our size guide is true to real measurements and made to fit most body types comfortably and naturally.

3. A Simplified, Accurate Size Guide

Our size chart is designed for clarity and accuracy, helping you find your perfect fit quickly — no guesswork required.

4. Need a Little Help?

If you’re unsure between two sizes or shades, don’t hesitate to reach out via the chat bubble on our website. Just share your height, hip width, or numeric size, and our team will be happy to guide you toward your perfect match.

No more compromises — and definitely no more grandma tights. It’s time for durable, elegant, and perfectly fitted tights — Signé Sarah.
