Tights are one of those wardrobe staples that span every occasion — from everyday warmth to statement style to full costume. Our Hosiery collection covers all three with three very different pairs: organic wool and cotton tights for everyday comfort, gothic spiderweb fishnet for alternative style, and bold red and green stripes for festive fancy dress. Here's how they compare.
1. Organic Wool & Cotton Tights – Women's
£21.00
The Organic Wool & Cotton Tights are the everyday essential — made from 72% organic wool and 26% organic cotton with just 2% elastane for stretch. This natural fibre blend is breathable, soft, and genuinely warm without the synthetic stuffiness of standard tights. The fine rib waist ensures an excellent, comfortable fit that stays in place throughout the day. At £21.00, they're the most premium everyday option in this trio, but the organic credentials and natural warmth make them worth every penny for anyone who wears tights regularly through autumn and winter. A conscious, comfortable choice for daily wear.
Best for: Everyday autumn/winter wear, those wanting natural fibres, sustainable wardrobe choices.
Composition: 72% organic wool, 26% organic cotton, 2% elastane | Feature: Fine rib waist | Style: Classic, everyday
2. Poizen Industries Web Weaver Tights – Black Gothic Spiderweb Fishnet
£6.99
The Poizen Industries Web Weaver Tights are the most affordable pair in this trio at just £6.99 — and the most statement-making. The striking gothic spiderweb fishnet design is crafted from 95% nylon and 5% elastane, making them lightweight, breathable, and stretchy enough for all-day wear. They're incredibly versatile within an alternative wardrobe: pair them with skirts and dresses for a dark, elegant look, or layer them under ripped jeans for a grunge-inspired textured effect. If you're building an alt, goth, or punk aesthetic, these are an essential, low-cost staple that elevates any outfit instantly.
