Trent lecturer creates formula that works out what tights to wear

A Nottingham Trent university lecturer has created a forecast that tells you exactly what type of tights you should wear without even leaving the house.

Statistician Dr James Hind, from Beeston, has created a formula to determine the right thickness of fabric to keep your legs comfortably warm every day whether your Netflix and chilling indoors, or waiting in line outside of Ocean mid winter.

Dr James Hind, lecturer in statistics at Nottingham Trent University with his mathematical formula projected on his face.

After performing as Robin Hood at the tourist attraction “The Tales of Robin Hood” in the city centre, Dr Hind was inspired to end the ongoing misery that is finding the right denier of tights every morning.

The 39-year-old said: “I worked in tights day in and day out for a year and I know the value of properly warm tights on a cold day.

“I worked there 15 years ago in 1997. My 110 denier thick tights saved my life in the winter.

“So it is not just women but anyone who wears tights. Having worn them myself, I know the nature of this problem.

“I made those tights my basis for the formula because they should see anybody through cold and windy weather, and then when it’s lovely and sunny, the denier recommendation reduces”

The forecast is to be broadcast every morning at 8am on BBC Radio Nottingham’s breakfast show and every evening at 6pm on East Midlands Today’s news programme.

The equation relies on advanced calculations on factors like wind speed and temperature, allowing Dr Hind to determine the right thickness of stockings easily, meaning men and women alike can now live fear free of frozen limbs.
