Beyond the Traditional Tight: Innovation at Every Stitch

At Heist Studios, we’re reimagining tights through technology, design, and inclusivity, offering products that outperform the competition while elevating everyday wear. Whether you’re a tights aficionado or new to hosiery, here’s how we’ve transformed a wardrobe staple into something truly exceptional. Our commitment to comfort and durability extends beyond our choice of materials.

Here’s a look at the innovative techniques that make Heist products exceptional:

3D Knit Technology

Traditional tights are manufactured in two tubes and sewn together, but not ours. We use 3D knitting to create a single, seamless tube. This method offers seamless comfort and enhanced coverage, so you can have a figure-hugging fit without the irritation of seams and a deep 3D waistband for extra comfort and support.

Seamless Everything

Say goodbye to itchy seams with our seamless construction. This technique ensures Freedom of Movement, with our signature seamless waistbands and construction that allow for unrestricted movement and ultimate comfort. This method also improves the durability of our product. Without seams, our tights are less likely to shift or snag, so will last longer than other tights and are, therefore, more sustainable.

Reinforced & Anti-Snag Technology

We understand the frustration of snagged tights. That’s why our tights feature anti-snag properties. Using fusion technology and a unique elastane coating that prevents runs, even in sheer products, we’ve improved the durability of our tights. With 5,000 spirals of nylon yarn (compared to the usual 500), Heist tights are built to last.

A Spectrum of Deniers and Styles

Tights come in all sorts of styles, and deniers. From ultra-sheer to opaque, designed to suit every outfit and occasion, we’ve created a collection of black tights in a range of deniers. For a breakdown of deniers and expert advice on choosing the perfect pair, explore our Denier Decoded Guide here.

  • Classic Black: From the delicate Fifteen Denier to the winter-ready Eighty Denier, our black tights are staples for every wardrobe.
  • Patterns and Colours: Elevate your look with statement designs like The Floral Lace or The Spot, proving tights can be both functional and fashionable.

Nude Tights: Redefining Inclusivity

We wanted to take on the outdated concept of "nude" with our groundbreaking The Nude Project, revolutionising the industry with a scientifically derived spectrum of shades that represent diverse skin tones. So what did we do?

A Spectrum of Seven

By analysing 100,000 women’s skin tones using advanced clustering technology, we identified seven inclusive shades that reflect the world’s diversity. Each shade is named with a number rather than a descriptor, ensuring a precise, bias-free match for everyone.

The Nude Tights Collection

  • The Nude: Available in seven shades, these tights feature lightweight, breathable fabric for a barely-there feel. Ideal for everyday wear, they offer the perfect polished finish while celebrating individuality.
  • The Contour Nude: Merging shapewear and tights, these offer graduated compression zones for sculpting and smoothing, perfect for a seamless, confident look.
  • The Bare Nude: Crafted with ultra-sheer 8 denier yarn, these tights provide an invisible, second-skin effect—ideal for warmer weather or elegant occasions.

Our commitment to inclusivity doesn’t stop with our designs. By making our data open-source, Heist has empowered other brands to embrace diversity in their product offerings.

Shapewear Meets Hosiery: The Contour Tights

  • Targeted Shaping: Graduated compression zones smooth and sculpt your silhouette without restricting movement.
  • Seamless Fit: Crafted using our 3D Knit Technology, these tights ensure a flawless fit and all-day comfort.
  • Stylish Versatility: Available in black and nude tones, they seamlessly transition from office to evening wear.

Waistband Innovation: Mid Waist Tights vs High Waist Tights

At Heist, we understand that one size (or style) doesn’t fit all, especially when it comes to comfort and fit. That’s why our Mid Waist Tights and High Waist Tights offer two distinct styles to meet every body’s needs.

Mid Waist Tights: Sleek and Modern

Designed for those who prefer a lower rise, Mid Waist Tights sit comfortably across the belly button.

Key Features:

A hip-hugging fit ideal for shorter torsos or anyone seeking a sleek, modern silhouette.

Freedom of movement with no constriction, making them perfect for all-day wear.

A luxurious, seamless design crafted from eco-friendly, recycled materials.

High Waist Tights: Maximum Coverage

For those who love a high-rise fit, the High Waist Tights offer unparalleled coverage and light smoothing.

Key Features:

An ultra-high waistband that sits just under the bust for a secure, comfortable fit.

Provides gentle contouring and smoothing around the midsection.

Tailored for longer torsos, offering a polished look under any outfit.

Unique Construction: The Heist Difference

Both styles share Heist’s signature innovations:

Seamless Comfort: Our tights are knitted in a single tube, eliminating seams for a smooth, irritation-free fit.

3D Knit Technology: A deep, adaptive waistband provides enhanced comfort and coverage, ensuring the tights stay in place all day long.

Anti-Snag Durability: With double-covered yarn and fusion technology, even our sheer tights resist snags and runs.

Whether you’re team Mid Waist or High Waist, Heist’s tights are designed to deliver comfort, style, and durability, ensuring you move through your day with confidence.

Waistband Innovation: Mid Waist Tights vs High Waist Tights

Why Choose Heist’s Mid Waist and High Waist Tights?

Heist tights redefine comfort and style with their innovative designs, offering features you won’t find in typical tights on the market. Here’s why Heist’s Mid Waist and High Waist Tights are the ultimate choice:

Mid Waist Tights

Perfect for those who love a lower-rise option, the Mid Waist Tights combine modern aesthetics with unparalleled comfort.

  • Unique Fit: Unlike many low-rise tights that dig into the waist or slip down throughout the day, Heist’s Mid Waist Tights are designed with a seamless, hip-hugging waistband that stays put.
  • Tailored for Shorter Torsos: Traditional tights can often feel overwhelming on shorter torsos. Heist’s lower waistband offers the ideal solution, sitting comfortably across the belly button for a sleek, flattering fit.
  • Effortless Movement: Crafted for all-day wear, these tights allow unrestricted movement, making them perfect for busy days and nights out alike.

High Waist Tights

For those who prefer extra coverage and a high-rise style, Heist’s High Waist Tights are the gold standard.

  • Superior Coverage: With an ultra-high waistband that sits just under the bust, these tights offer a smoothing effect without the restrictive feeling of traditional shapewear.
  • Adaptive Design: Unlike many high-rise tights that roll down or dig in, Heist’s hand-sewn waistband is roll-resistant, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
  • Flattering and Functional: The light contouring effect enhances your silhouette while remaining breathable and non-restrictive, a rare combination in high-waist styles.

Sustainable Threads: Eco-conscious Without Compromise

Our dedication to sustainability begins with our choice of materials. Two of our standout yarns are Q-NOVA and Q-CYCLE, both by Fulgar.

Q-NOVA by Fulgar

Q-NOVA is an environmentally-sustainable polyamide, made from regenerated raw materials. Here’s why we love it:

  • Eco-Friendly Production: Q-NOVA is created from pre-consumer waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. This waste is regenerated through a mechanical process that doesn't involve the use of chemical treatments, significantly reducing environmental impact. This means less waste, lower emissions, and a smaller carbon footprint, aligning perfectly with our commitment to sustainability.
  • Lightweight and Durable: Despite its sustainable origins, Q-NOVA doesn’t compromise on quality. It allows us to produce fabrics that are lightweight yet durable, maintaining the same strength and robustness as traditional fabrics made from cotton or polyester. This ensures our products are both comfortable and long-lasting.
  • Exceptional Breathability: Q-NOVA excels in moisture management, boasting excellent breathability that keeps your skin fresh and dry throughout the day. This makes it an ideal choice for hosiery and shapewear, where comfort and moisture control are crucial.
  • Vibrant Colours: One of the standout features of Q-NOVA is its dyeing quality. The fibres are designed to achieve vibrant, long-lasting colours, ensuring that our products remain as striking and beautiful as the day you first wear them. This dyeing quality matches that of virgin polyamide, offering no compromise in aesthetics.
  • Certified Sustainability: Q-NOVA’s sustainability credentials are backed by a range of certifications, including OEKO-TEX® STD 100 CLASS I, GLOBAL RECYCLED STANDARD, HIGG INDEX, EU ECOLABEL, and LCA. These certifications verify that Q-NOVA meets high environmental and safety standards throughout its production process, giving you peace of mind that you are making an eco-conscious choice.
  • Versatile Applications: Q-NOVA is highly versatile and can be used across a variety of our product lines. From tights and hosiery to shapewear, this fibre integrates seamlessly into our designs, providing the same high-quality feel and performance you expect from Heist products.

By incorporating Q-NOVA into our collections, we’re not just enhancing the sustainability of our products but also ensuring they meet the highest standards of comfort, durability, and style. With Q-NOVA, you can feel good about your fashion choices, knowing you’re supporting a more sustainable future without sacrificing quality or performance.

Q-CYCLE by Fulgar

Q-CYCLE transforms end-of-life car tires into premium polyamide yarn. It’s a marvel of sustainability without sacrificing performance. Here's how this groundbreaking process works and why it sets a new standard in eco-friendly textiles:

  • Innovative Upcycling: The process starts with end-of-life car tires, a significant environmental burden due to their non-biodegradable nature. Through advanced pyrolysis, these tires are broken down into pyrolysis oil, which serves as the raw material for Q-CYCLE yarn. This innovative upcycling not only gives new life to discarded tires but also reduces the waste burden on landfills.
  • Environmental Impact: Q-CYCLE significantly reduces CO2 emissions and water usage compared to traditional polyamide production. By repurposing materials that would otherwise contribute to pollution, Q-CYCLE minimises the environmental footprint of our products. This makes it a perfect fit for our commitment to sustainability.
  • Maintained Performance: Despite its recycled origins, Q-CYCLE does not compromise on the qualities you expect from high-performance polyamide. It retains the same lightness, strength, and durability as virgin polyamide, ensuring that our garments meet the highest standards of quality and longevity.
  • Versatile Applications: Q-CYCLE is incredibly versatile and can be used in various textile applications. It processes like a normal polyamide, making it easy to combine with other fibres. This adaptability allows us to incorporate Q-CYCLE into a wide range of products without altering the manufacturing process or the final product's feel and performance.
  • Certified Sustainability: The sustainability of Q-CYCLE is backed by certifications such as ISCC, LCA, and OEKO-TEX® STD 100 CLASS II. These certifications ensure that the entire lifecycle of the product, from raw material sourcing to final disposal, adheres to stringent environmental and safety standards.

By choosing Q-CYCLE, we’re not just making a statement about sustainability – we’re actively contributing to a circular economy. Our commitment to using innovative materials like Q-CYCLE means that you can enjoy high-quality, comfortable hosiery and shapewear while also supporting a more sustainable future.

Certifications: ISCC, LCA, OEKO-TEX® STD 100 CLASS II

The Heist Difference: Why We’re Better

Most tights on the market are manufactured in two pieces and sewn together, leaving uncomfortable seams and limited stretch. Heist tights, however, are knitted in a single seamless tube using 3D Knit Technology. This ensures:

Seamless Comfort: No more annoying gusset seams or waistbands that restrict your movement.

Durability: With 5,000 spirals of nylon (compared to the usual 500 in most tights), Heist tights resist snags and last longer, even in sheer styles.

Eco-Friendly Options: Both the Mid Waist and High Waist styles use recycled materials like Q-NOVA and Q-CYCLE, offering a sustainable choice without compromising on quality.

When you choose Heist tights, you’re choosing comfort, durability, and innovation that other brands simply can’t match. From the modern, hip-hugging Mid Waist Tights to the supportive High Waist Tights, there’s a perfect fit for every style and body type.

Why Choose Heist Tights?

Heist tights offer features that elevate them far above typical hosiery:

Advanced Technology: From 3D knitting to fusion yarns that prevent snags, every detail is engineered for performance.

Diversity of Styles: Whether you want statement patterns, classic black tights, or inclusive nudes, Heist has a style for you.

Sustainability: Using materials like Q-NOVA and Q-CYCLE, our tights are eco-friendly without compromising on quality or durability.

Choosing Heist means choosing tights that celebrate comfort, innovation, and individuality. From sleek basics to revolutionary nudes, we’re here to transform the way you think about hosiery.
