A Swan is something to be pampered with. No, we didn't lie to you: made from a thread used for climbing, it's ultra-resistant and built to last.
But it's still (a little) more fragile than your favorite pair of jeans. So here are the 5 golden rules for keeping your Cygnes looking like new for as long as possible.
Don't worry, it's not a rule to not do acrobatics in Swan tights .
The 5 golden rules
- Rule 1: Never - really never - put your Swans in the dryer (it risks losing its feathers...). More seriously, the latter is the sworn enemy of tights, and could seriously damage them, however durable they may be.
- 2nd rule: The simplest: wash your tights by hand or at 30° in the washing machine.
- 3rd rule: If you choose to machine wash it, put it in a washing net (a product our team is currently working on, by the way... 😉) to protect it from the drum.
- 4th rule: We advise you to limit large snags, such as those on rattan chairs, which could weaken your Swans and therefore reduce its lifespan.
- 5th (and final) rule: Read our tutorial below to put it on properly! 😄
How to put on your tights properly?
Before even putting it on, it is essential to choose the right size . To make your life easier, we have put our size guide right here:
PS: If you are hesitating between two sizes, choose the larger one for guaranteed maximum comfort!
Now we can move on to trying them on . Don't worry, everything will be fine and your tights won't run (well, unless they're a Swan, of course).
First, while sitting, take one leg of the tights and wrap it in your hand until you reach the tip of the foot.
Next, slide your foot in until it touches the end of the tights, then roll them down to above your knee. Do the same with the other foot.
Finally, while standing, roll the rest of the tights down your legs, moving them up to your waist. If you feel that the tights are not perfectly in place, gently pull them up to make them go up.
And there you have it, your Swans tights are on, you're ready to face your day without getting caught! (Yes, at Swans, we love puns.)
