Tights have long broken through the boundaries of traditional professional attire and become one of the important fashion items that shape women's personal styles. The elite commuting style of matte tights, the romantic and gentle style of hollow tights, the avant-garde street style of mesh patchwork tights, and the luxurious and high-end style of embroidered tights, the aesthetic of wearing tights presents a variety of styles in diverse scenes.

In recent years, the global tights market has undergone structural changes driven by both consumer change and industrial innovation. Consumers' demand for tights has shifted from basic "shaping and decoration" to "scene based experience", and tights products that combine technological content and aesthetic expression are becoming the new favorite of the market. According to industry reports, the high-end tights category has shown significant growth in the global market, especially in the Asia Pacific region. Chinese consumers' pursuit of functional fabrics and design aesthetics continues to heat up, driving the industry to iterate towards "refinement" and "artistry". On the one hand, technology-based tights dominate the high-end market with innovative technologies such as "micro pressure shaping" and "breathable antibacterial". On the other hand, design oriented tights have become the visual focus of fashionable dressing through elements such as Baroque jacquard, gradient lace, and material splicing.
