Support tights or Control tights as they are sometimes called have done wonders for millions of women the world over and will continue to do so for as long as tights exist!
Consider them a good friend that let’s you have that extra treat without having to race to the gym every time to burn the extra calories off and tone up.
They are every woman’s friend including many celebrities, who’ve worn them on the red carpet. You can get sheer support tights, opaque support tights and many different types of support tights in lots of different colours.
There are support tights for every kind of figure and almost every occasion. You can even get footless support tights, fishnet support tights and maternity support tights.
The Maternity support tights have a panel under the tummy to support it and reduce pressure, while a wide waistband gives support to the lower back. They have had good reviews from pregnant women who say they are comfortable and offer support while helping them to stay looking great.
Most support tights help with a flatter tummy and a pert bottom such as Pretty Polly’s Secret Slimmer control tights in opaque and sheer versions. The Opaque Tummy Control Tights create a smoother and firmer appearance for your thighs, bum and tum. They are 60 denier in the leg and the shaping part of the tights starts on the thigh where it becomes 90 denier.
They then have a firming panty shape to lift your bottom and the shaping continues to the waistline, pulling in your stomach to create a flatter appearance. They come in black and are gorgeous worn on special occasions or every day. The sheer ones have a 15 denier leg with a 40 denier thigh and they come in black or nude.
Aristoc make support tights that come right up to just under the bust with a compression band to give you an hourglass figure. They are designed to define your silhouette and smooth out any bulges with firm control for the tummy, hips and waist. Again they come in sheer or opaque in different deniers, and generally in black or nude colours.
Spanx make some fab bottom and tummy shaping footless tights, which are perfect for wearing under tunics or dresses or with short skirts. They are really trendy but give that extra bit of support that most of us need! They are 50 denier and have an adjustable leg band so they can be worn anywhere between the ankle and the knee, whatever your preference or outfit.
There are loads more brands out there and each make a whole range of support tights for pretty much every bit of our bodies!

Where can I see / buy footless support tights that support my legs, not so much my tum or bottom. I have some varicose veins and really do want to get something cooler to wear in the summer ?

If you want support tights for the beach that look like baby oil, I wear the Pretty Polly Oil Sheen in a 5 denier. They feel great on and you will get compliments from others that think you just rubbed baby oil on your legs.
