A tight squeeze

A new website, www.worktights.ie, aims to fill the gap for women who want to buy stylish, functional hosiery on a budget.

Worktights sells a range of medium support tights under the name Leva, at €4.99 each or €13.99 for three pairs and, for the busy working woman, packages can be purchased whereby you sign up for three pairs of tights per month and receive a 15 per cent discount. As well as Leva, which has a range of options including super-soft 100 denier opaques, worktights.ie sells Fiore tights, fashion tights that have been compared to Falke, an upper- market brand whose prices average at around €20 a pair. Fiore tights start at €3.99 and offer coloured and patterned tights. Worktights is also offering a one-off discount of 10 per cent for first-time customers. Quote WT2010 when making your order.
