About us

Tights & the City is an online magazine devoted to a single garment, taken seriously: tights. We follow them where they are born and where they change, from the runways of Milan, Paris and London to street style, from the heritage hosiery houses to new fibres, from cinema to practical guides on choosing and wearing them.

We publish in English and Italian, because tights speak an international language.

What we cover

• Runway: tights on the catwalk and the season's trends.
• Collections: new pieces from the brands, materials and yarns.
• Celebrity style: famous looks taken apart in detail.
• Brand stories: the history of the great hosiery houses.
• News: industry, sustainability, recycling and the market.
• Guides: denier, sizes, care and styling.

How we work

• Verified sources. Every article is based on sources we cite and link in the text: brand statements and websites, fashion publications, archives and museums.
• No invented facts. We don't publish quotes, prices or details we couldn't verify; when a source is uncertain, we say so.
• Credited photos. We only publish images supplied by brands or licensed, always credited; articles also link to the original galleries.
• Independence. Our content is not sponsored. If it ever is, it will be clearly labelled. The site is funded by Google AdSense advertising, which has no influence on what we write.
• Corrections. If you spot a mistake, tell us: we'll fix it and, if it's substantial, note it at the end of the article with the update date.
