Tights should be frozen

Denise Caldwell wants women to soak their hosiery in water and put them in a sandwich bag in the freezer overnight and in the morning defrost them on the radiator before putting them on - because the extreme temperature helps toughen up the fibres and makes them more run-resistant during the day.

The stylist told Today.com: ''Freezing your tights is a quirky, yet budget-savvy way to help keep your tights longer, and stay run-free, lint-free and vibrant in colour.

''It's definitely a trick to try.''
