Making Better Tights, Responsibly

The textile industry is one of the world’s largest polluters. It’s estimated that nearly 5% of landfill waste comes from textiles, while 20% of global freshwater pollution is caused by textile treatment and dyeing.

From day one, we made a commitment: we wouldn’t add to the problem.

That’s why every pair of Better Tights is designed and produced with sustainability in mind.

Sustainability


Designed to Last, Not to Waste

We don’t just want to make better tights — we want to do better, full stop.

Our innovative 3D knitting technology creates a 360-degree ergonomic stretch, resulting in tights that fit better, feel better, and most importantly, last longer.

Fewer ladders. Better fit. Less waste.

It might sound unusual for a brand to say this, but we genuinely want you to buy less, more often. Because the longer your tights last, the less ends up in landfill.


Thoughtful Production, Lower Impact

We work with carefully selected factories that prioritise sustainability at every stage:

  • Powered by renewable energy, including solar
  • Use of recycled water systems wherever possible
  • Efficient, long-life machinery to reduce waste

Our UK factory, based in Hinckley — the heart of the hosiery industry, plays a key role in maintaining quality while minimising environmental impact.

We continuously review everything we do — from production to transportation — to reduce our carbon footprint. We’re not perfect, but we’re always working to improve.


Ethical by Nature

All of our partner factories in Italy are OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning every product is rigorously tested for safety and free from harmful substances.

Just as importantly, every factory we work with guarantees a safe, supportive, and fair working environment.

Because Better Tights wouldn’t exist without the skilled people behind them.


Packaging with Purpose

Sustainability doesn’t stop at the product.

  • All of our packaging is recyclable
  • Made from responsibly sourced materials

While cardboard is a better alternative to plastic, it still contributes significantly to landfill — so we encourage you to reuse or recycle it wherever possible.

(Some of our team even swear by composting it.)


We’re here to prove that better products and better practices can go hand in hand — and we’re committed to improving every step of the way.


Find Your Better Fit

If you’re between sizes, we always recommend choosing the next size up for a more comfortable fit.

At Better, we believe tights should fit effortlessly—no squeezing, slipping, or discomfort.

 

Designed for Every Body

Our tights are made to suit every shape, size, and height, with a more thoughtful and inclusive approach than traditional “one-size-fits-all” hosiery.

We’ve created a range of sizes so you can find tights that truly fit your body—because tights should be treated like any other clothing item.

 

Comfort You Can Feel

Stay up all day

Avoid baggy ankles

Prevent sagging or digging in
