Seems like a good alternative to a body suit when you want a smooth seamless look under your (sleeveless) dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1928104 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 03:40:16 +0000 Janet 1928104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t know why, but the idea really kind of turns me off. For me, it’s either layer a sleeved shirt under something or go without the long sleeves.</p> <p>Maybe because I use something like this for cycling in cooler weather — I remove the sleeves when conditions warm up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1928092 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 02:36:34 +0000 unfrumped 1928092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s really not “ arm hose”!<br /> But I agree, a “regular” top would usually be more comfortable.<br /> I see these as being a marketing strategy— multiple colors-/ and cheaper to make than a real top, and thin stretchy material that is easy to layer over. Perhaps a marketing flop, too!<br /> I do think there are dresses that won’t tolerate a full- length top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1927954 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 16:45:37 +0000 bj1111 1927954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@K.M., yes! It’s like pantyhose for your arms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1927937 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 15:38:36 +0000 K.M. 1927937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I have a top made of hosiery material, but it is full-length. I love it for layering under sheath dresses.

I thought we were talking compression sleeves, and I was a little alarmed. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1927838 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 10:37:01 +0000 Staysfit 1927838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m sorry, my first though was about all my dear friends and family members who have had swelling in their arms after mastectomy for breast cancer because of lymph node removal, etc. They often wear compression tubes on arms. I thought these were a way to decoratively cover them since this is so common. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1927769 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 02:43:13 +0000 anne 1927769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does your midriff get cold? That was my first thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1927663 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 22:06:59 +0000 unfrumped 1927663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are like the little half- cami but with long sleeves. So the band is potentially bothersome- I sized to comfort on that.<br /> I have not seen all the options, as likely more online. There was a black- metallic but too small. Several solid colors. I think there is a black lace version.<br /> For just casual wear, a thin LS tee would be more comfy and warmer. But these offer a specific fit thin-ness that might work under dresses where anything else would be too bulky.<br /> OTOH, some of them will be fairly identifiable as what it is rather than a more personal-style garment one might own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1927662 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 22:05:44 +0000 bj1111 1927662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like the idea. The patterns/colors didn’t work for my wardrobe. The fabric was also a bit see through.</p> <p>I’d consider if it came in a different fabrication </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1927643 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 20:55:37 +0000 Anonymous 1927643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't know that there was such a thing as arm tights. They sound like a great way to add texture and to extend the seasons by adding longer sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1927635 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 20:20:21 +0000 3style 1927635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a different brand. Garnet Hill carried them. Haven’t checked lately if they still carry them. The ones I had would get pills fairly easily. Tricky to shave without ripping the fabric. Spanx might be better. Report back please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1927630 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 19:36:42 +0000 Jane 1927630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had some arm tights but they weren’t Spanx. They were great. It was a few years back but I enjoyed wearing them. Good for layering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1927621 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 18:53:13 +0000 rachylou 1927621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that’s interesting. Never heard of these. They’re to keep you warm/covered? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1927614 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 18:11:21 +0000 Anonymous 1927614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven’t but want to. They caught my eye in the catalog a while back. Would love to hear how you like them after wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spanx-arm-tights#post-1927612 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 18:02:45 +0000 unfrumped 1927612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anyone tried Spanx “arm tights”?<br /> Awhile back I had a sleeveless dressy dress I was just dying to find a slim- fitting lace knit sleeved top to wear under’ cause I really couldn’t wear it as it was( it was a deep discount impulse buy!). Never found the right thing so I gave it away. </p> <p>A local store had a few of the Arm Tights on deep sale so I bought one in burgundy, as I have one or 2 dresses I can wear with for fall, plus could wear under button- front shirts.<br /> A perfectly fitting actual knit top might<br /> be more comfortable but I didn’t have one and so thought this would be an affordable experiment.<br /> Angie’s post on layering under dresses is right on target for this product if its particularl fit and color/ pattern options work. </p>
