Co-Founders Megan and Monica started CLOVO in 2018 while studying at Colgate University. Living through freezing Upstate New York winters, tights were a lifeline when wearing a dress or skirt. However, they absolutely hated how they felt, sagged all day, ripped easily, and were incredibly itchy! From this tight strife, EverTights came into existence. Their first idea was to figure out how to eliminate sag and fit all women better. That is where the spandex short integration idea started. Along the path of finding a manufacturer, they discovered how terrible nylon plastic is for the environment and for your skin. That is why they are working to eliminate it completely. The perfect pair of sheer tights grew from these two seedling ideas.
