MyTights.com has featured in a compilation of the best websites for purchasing women’s tights and other items of hosiery and shapewear.

The roll call saw the site recommended by the Telegraph for low prices and high-quality goods, as well as more brand names than you can shake a stick at and plenty of seasonal promotions.

Compiled to help consumers deal with the credit crunch while not having to ditch their passion for fashion and shopping, the Telegraph’s list encouraged people to look online since prices are likely to be lower - plus you won’t have to face the cold weather and hot shops!

And anyone worried about making a purchase shouldn’t think not being able to try things on will be a problem - the newspaper points out that online articles and FAQ lists mean that getting the right tights on the first attempt is more likely than on the high street.

When it comes to dressing for the office, we all know that it’s important to look polished and professional.

However, this need not mean allowing fashion to pass you by - and women’s tights can help to liven up some of this season’s hottest looks.

According to the Daily Mail, the nautical colours of navy and white - currently huge on the catwalks and in the shops - will make you look instantly smart, but white tights and funky flat shoes will take the outfit from potentially prim to young and vibrant.

Meanwhile, adding black opaque tights to a neutral jacket and skirt can add a chic safari look to early summer dressing.

Finally, the piece stresses that dressing as though you mean business no longer means relying solely on power trouser suits - instead a tailored skirt with a smart jumper can do the job just as well.

However, don’t forget the finishing touch - women’s tights in a contrasting colour with platform heels will add instant interest.

German company Falke offers some great examples of the tights mentioned above - check out MyTights.com for a better look.
