Bamboo tights

Short answer: Bamboo viscose feels softer and cooler than nylon and does not ladder as easily. They are thicker and worn for everyday rather than for dressy occasions.

The difference between nylon and bamboo

Nylon tights are thin, smooth and sheer. Bamboo viscose is thicker, more matte and warmer. The two have different purposes and cannot replace each other.

When bamboo is the right choice

For everyday under a dress or skirt when it is cold, and when you want something that does not itch or dig in at the waist. See bamboo tights.

The size

Choose by both height and weight in the table. Height decides the leg length, weight decides the width. See Decoy and bamboo leggings.
