Hold on...tight(s)

Winter is coming almost to an end but it's still really cold. Coats, jackets, pants and skirts or dresses worn with tights keep us warm. You can find tights in a range of colour, prints, composition, transparent or not. But there is always one tiny problem...they don't stay in place, fall down and can easily be ruined.
The other day at school, my dear friend Margarita got really frustrated with her... tights! She wore a beautiful pair (blue with black dots) but they kept falling down and she kept pulling them up. 
Have you ever been out on a date or with your friends, wearing tights, feeling and looking gorgeous and end up with a hole in them? Well i have, many times, come home looking like i've got into a cat fight!

Dr. Manel Torres joined forces with other scientists at Imperial College London to invent the spray, which forms a seamless fabric on contact with the body.
The spray consists of short fibres that are mixed into a solvent, allowing it to be sprayed from a can or high-pressure spray gun. The fibres are mixed with polymers that bind them together to form a fabric. The texture of the fabric can be varied by using wool, linen or acrylic fibres.
The fabric, which dries when it meets the skin, is very cold when it is sprayed on, a limitation that may frustrate hopes for spray-on trousers and other garments.
But how about tights? Imagine having a small spray bottle in your bag, and create and instant pair of tights on your legs, that can be de-solved and reused. Of course its just an idea and it can only be used for opaque tights but wouldn't it be great?
