Tights, stockings and socks for sale in South Africa

Updated 4 November 2026

Opaque tights in South Africa start near R 40, sheer stockings and two-packs run from about R 60 to R 150, and fashion or knitted tights reach R 250 to R 300. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites in November 2026. To see prices for the exact type you want, describe it on BlaBlaPrice and sellers will reply in the chat with their own offer.

Consumer rights on a faulty pair

Under the Consumer Protection Act, goods must be of good quality, in good working order and free of defects, and must be reasonably suitable for the purpose they are normally used for. One consumer guide cites a six-month right to a refund, repair or replacement. Another point to know is that a voluntary warranty from the seller is separate from these legal rights, so check its terms. Keep your receipt, and if a pair tears early, ask for the remedy in writing.

Choosing weight for the season

Summer runs from December to February, so lighter sheer pairs suit the warm months. Opaque and knitted tights are for the winter months from June to August, so buy them before the cold sets in. Thermal and knitted styles are the ones listed for the cooler season, so they are the right choice if you spend long hours outside in winter.

Sizes, denier and pack sizes

Listings use the sizes S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL, and denier is the thickness number on the pack, for example 15 on a bright silk style. Two-packs are common, so decide whether you need one pair or a pack. Sizes differ between brands, so check the size chart on the pack before you pay. Ask each seller to confirm delivery to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria or Gqeberha, and whether the price includes it.

What to put in your request

Say what you want: tights, stockings, knee highs or socks. Add the denier, size, colour and material, and whether you need a single pair or a pack. Give the number of pairs, the city for delivery and your budget. A clear request lets sellers quote the exact type from the first reply.
