Hosiery put to the test!

A pair of tights is usually put on with a certain amount of stretching, and fingernails or jewellery often snags on a single thread that will turn into a run or “ladder” once the leg is applying stress to the tights. 

Additionally, a ladder may be caused during the working day, such as a snag occurring when the tights are pushed against the underside of a desk. This can greatly inconvenience the wearer as it appears unprofessional and they may not have a spare pair. It can also be expensive.
