For many, the words “nude tights” conjure memories of scratchy, overly shiny pairs better suited to a school disco than a chic city brunch. But nude tights are experiencing a quiet renaissance - one driven by the modern desire for polish without pretension, and comfort without compromise. When done well, they’re nothing short of transformative.

So, how do you wear nude tights fashionably? Here's how to bring them into the now - and into your wardrobe.

Outdated tights are often noticeable by a telltale sheen. The modern alternative? A refined, matte finish that mimics real skin and elevates any outfit. Our nude tights range from 8–18 denier, designed to feel like a second skin - and look like one too.

At Heist, beauty never comes at the expense of comfort. Our tights are crafted without pinching waistbands, sagging ankles, or the dreaded rolling-down throughout the day. The result? A flawless fit that lasts and lasts.

One of the most sophisticated ways to wear nude tights is by pairing them with strong shapes or bold colour. A crimson coat. A sharply cut navy suit. The softness of your tights creates contrast - a balance of structure and subtlety that elevates the whole look.

They’re also an ideal solution for layering tone-on-tone looks. Think camel, taupe and sand shades worn head to toe - the tights bring fluidity and cohesion, rather than interruption.

Historically, nude tights were built around a single idea of skin tone - often far from inclusive. At Heist, we believe this needs to change.

We launched The Nude Project not just as a product range, but as a philosophy. One that says: every woman deserves to feel seen. We analysed skin tone data from tens of thousands of women around the world and used it to develop a shade spectrum that reflects the diversity of our real lives, not just fashion’s narrow lens.

This isn’t just about finding the right tights - it’s about making something as everyday as hosiery feel considered, personal, and right.

Let’s redefine what nude means altogether. It’s not invisible. It’s intentional. It’s not background. It’s the base. Nude tights today are less about hiding, more about highlighting. They let you take centre stage without distraction. They bring cohesion, confidence, and elegance - even if no one notices they’re there.

At Heist, we see them as a form of quiet power dressing: refined, unshakeable, effortless.

Forget everything you thought you knew about nude tights. When chosen well and styled with intention, they don’t age your outfit - they elevate it. They allow the rest of your look to shine, creating balance, polish and ease in a way that’s distinctly modern.

But at Heist, it goes beyond aesthetics.

With The Nude Project, we set out to challenge the assumptions baked into the word “nude” - and build something better. A collection made not for the few, but for the many. A spectrum of possibilities.

Our tools, like The Nude Quiz and The Comparison Tool, are here to help you navigate the options with clarity and confidence - whether you want something barely-there, a little more support, or simply a tone that feels like it was made for you.
