Girls' Tights & Hosiery, Handmade Picks

Tights are sized by height-and-weight ranges, not shoe size, so measure your daughter and match the maker's chart before you fall for a color. Fit fails at two spots: a waistband that rolls and a crotch seam that sags to mid-thigh. Look for a covered elastic waistband and a reinforced cotton gusset, and read reviews for sliding. Opaque cotton or cotton-nylon (think 40-80 denier) is the warm everyday pick for school and dresses; microfiber nylon-spandex runs thinner and smoother under tutus and party outfits. Ribbed, cable-knit, and Aran-style tights add texture for fall and winter; lace, pointelle, and sheer styles finish flower-girl, holiday, and pageant looks. Footed is the classic; footless and capri lengths layer over leggings or under boots. Most pairs run $6-$18, with hand-knit, lace, or custom-dyed pairs reaching $20-$35. Ready styles often ship in 3-7 business days; knit or made-to-order pairs take 1-3 weeks.
