Different FinishesWhen you look at the packaging of tights you will find a variety of different terms used to describe what the finish is, for example; shiny, slight sheen, gloss, matt, shimmer.... We found this confusing, therefore we have examined all the products that we sell at AlexBlake and put them all into one of the four categories below going from matt to the most shiny, which makes it simpler to know what you are buying as well as making it much easier to compare one product against another!MatteMatte tights are, as you would expect, completely matt with no shine whatsoever!Matte tights are both understated and flattering, plus they won’t draw too much attention to your legs as they give a completely flat look on your leg. Matte opaques are a particular favorite at AlexBlake as well as with the press. View all matte hosiery products. Slight SheenHosiery with a Slight sheen has just a hint of shine rather than being completely matt. The slight sheen will give a softer outline to your legs as they do not give such a flat appearance as matte pantyhose. Suitable for every day and very elegant for the evening, particularly in sheer styles.View all slight shine hosiery products. ShinyShiny hosiery has an obvious shine to it and very much catches the light. Shiny hosiery also feels smooth and silky on your legs. Great for special occasions, but can also be worn everyday. Shiny hosiery will draw even more attention to your legs as the light reflects off the hosiery, defining the shape of your legs. Shiny pantyhose aren't great if you want to go for the "bare leg look" or don't want to draw too much attention to your legs!View all shiny hosiery products. Very ShinyVery shiny is how we describe products such as Wet Look and other hosiery that is very glossy. Similar to shiny hosiery items but even glossier! Very shiny pantyhose will reflect the light, drawing attention to your legs. Very shiny hosiery will also highlight your legs and make them stand out.View all very shiny hosiery products.
