About Jonathan Aston

From our very first polka dot tights that ushered in the swinging sixties, via classic sheers, funky fishnets, fabulous laces, bold stripes and bright opaques, Jonathan Aston has been synonymous with style, quality and confidence.

Jonathan Aston was founded in Leicester, the hub of the British textile industry - in 1965, when founder Ralph Salem used knitting machines that had only ever been used for plain tights, to produce 'fashion hosiery'.

An iconic brand was born and soon the coolest names of the day (including Twiggy and Jean 'The Shrimp' Shrimpton), were swinging their luscious legs in Jonathan Aston hosiery.

In 2002 the business was acquired by the Melas Group with high quality production continuing. We retain much of the orignal design archive, hence the retro influence and timeless appeal of today's classic styles.

From the catwalk to the red carpet, from boardrooms to boutiques, in the city or the country, Jonathan Aston of London has been seen on the hottest legs worldwide for over 40 years.

Whether for a day at the office or a dazzling night out, strut your own style and revel in a fabulous choice of fashion forward styles - not only tights, stockings and hold-ups, but socks, leggings, shorts and more. Give your legs a treat - and become an Astonista!
