TIGHTS!….

I only wear black tights at funerals with dresses and I have been to quite a few this year. They will be coming out again in the next two weeks sadly 😔.

Tights? Just no - I wear leggings and ankle boots instead.

Who dug this old one up again? Oh, I see, probably someone selling something.

Thanks for the recommendation @paddyann54
I’ll look into getting those.

Those raspberry tights look so good @IwasaMaidOfKent lovely colour

Oh is this a zombie?

I suppose they still sell tights, and we still wear them, right 😂

I recently bought a 100 denier pair for long haul flights. They worked a treat, not even swollen feet.

I wish Snag tights had been around sooner. I’ve got a drawer full of tights that don’t fit me. In fact I never found any tights that fitted me as I’m short with very chubby legs.

Well, I finally sent away for some Snag tights because, as part of my neverending decluttering I want to get rid of the box of tights in my wardrobe that I’ve bought over the years that don’t fit properly. Only bought one pair to check that I’d got the right size but they’re perfect. Even thoughI’m quite petite my legs are actually as large as the large ladies in their advert which is why I’ve struggled to get tights that fit. I rarely wear dresses these days anyway but I can now clear some space in my wardrobe. They even send a returns label in case you’ve got the wrong size. I’m so chuffed!

I put handcream on and sit on the bed. I find this is the easiest way. I have enough tights at the minute but I'll take a look at those snag leggings.

They’re recyclable, too. If you return old ones they recycle them into industrial stuff.

I am probably what you would call a medium sized woman although I am sturdily built (Gawd help me)- normally Size 16 but I always buy XL size tights so that I have plenty of room. I would rather have Nora Batty-type wrinkles than tights where the crotch isn't where it should be.
Delighted we have tights for our larger -sized ladies (I'm larger sized compared to a little'un). There for the grace of God go all of us.Recovering from a serious operation some years ago I couldn't exercise and I shot up to nearly 14 stone.
I buy my tights at Sainsburys or Tescos or M and S.They all seem OK.

Just an aside to IwasaMaidofKent: you remain a Maid of Kent , if you were born to the mid / west of Kent, for the rest of your life, wherever you live thereafter. Of course, if you were born to the east of the county, you are a Kentish Maid.

I got round the problem when I couldn't find a pair of tights to wear with a skirt. I just put on leggings with calf-high boots and warm socks. I have taken to wearing thermal leggings under trousers and jeans as my legs get really cold (peripheral neuropathy) even when it's not freezing.

There are a few fat shaming trolls on this thread.

Tights are available in a huge range of sizes and tend to look far better than aged fake-tanned legs. Especially in April.

Somewhat astonished by this thread. I've worn tights all my adult life without difficulty or problem. Nylon in Summer and woolly in Winter. Must ask around now that it has been brought to my attention. Interesting indeed......

You’re obviously not a peculiar shape like I am! It’s my huge thighs that are a problem. To get tights to fit my fat legs I have to buy extra large which then go up to my neck! I’ve got a box full of tights that don’t fit me.

I like M&S tights.
