All ballet bodies deserve better tights.

Meet the new Imperfect Pointes ballet tights — redesigned, refined, and relaunched to be the best possible tights for dancers, without compromising on sustainability.

Made in Italy using QNOVA® recycled yarn by Fulgar, these 50 denier convertible ballet tights combine technical performance, comfort, and longevity with genuine eco-innovation. We’ve kept everything you love — and quietly improved the details:

What’s new

• New QNOVA® recycled yarn (by Fulgar) for improved softness, enhanced durability & longevity

• Reinforced convertible footholewith more stretch and zero laddering

• Comfort-engineered ‘waistband of dreams’ subtly refined to support without digging in

• Improved sizing – with XXL added

• Greater supply-chain transparency, working directly with a specialist Italian manufacturer

Why dancers love them

• 50 denier semi-opaque appearance – studio-ready, stage-approved

• No gusset construction (cotton gusset in children’s sizes only)

• Strengthened Convertible foot opening – wear footed or footless, class to rehearsal

• Smooth, second-skin feel that stretches with you (no bagging, no sagging)

• Flatter seams & reinforced toe for comfort and strength

Better for you, better for the planet

These tights are made from recycled polyamide yarn, helping reduce waste and reliance on virgin materials — without sacrificing performance or aesthetics. Sustainability doesn’t end at checkout either: your tights are designed to be worn, washed, repaired, and ultimately recycled through Imperfect Pointes when they reach end of life.
