Tights that are comfortable comfortable to wear

I never wear the damn things so can't help.
I hope someone can point you in the right direction

I've not worn them for as long as I can remember because they are not comfortable. Good luck in your search.

I also have not worn them since I stopped working but I used to buy mine in BHS.

How on earth did I put comfortable in the subject line twice?! Clearly a deep seated desire

Thanks for comments so far!

Never found any Grannyknot! I'm 5'10" and the crotch was always halfway towards my knees. Haven't worn the things for years. In fact if you look at photos of many women they don't seem to wear them these days. Suspender belts were even worse ?

I agree with Charleygirl I always found BHS tights the best. These days I only wear on very special occasions.

"Tights" and "comfortable" do not belong in the same sentence.

I used to hate wearing tights till a friend persuaded me to try Wolford tights. They're available from John Lewis among other places, more expensive than some but they last much, much longer AND are comfortable

Hate them too

I'm quite small but have huge legs so can never find tights that fit properly (they must have a gussett!). When I do actually find some that fit I can never remember where I got them from.

Googling on the topic took me to an article from 2011 in the Huffington Post: "God forbid, pantyhose. If you were over 5’ 3”, they didn’t reach your waist, though you pulled them tight enough to splay your toes, and you spent the whole day worrying about being involuntarily pantsed."

(not that I know what "pantsed" means).

tegan that's me too (can never remember where a decent pair was bought) - especially as I don't wear them often.

Gonna check out Wolford now, thanks!

I like John Lewis' tights, they're really comfortable.
Now I've stopped work my stash will keep me going until I pop my clogs!

I can usually find ones that fit in M&S but I do have to read all the measurements on the label carefully.

Pretty Polly but I buy the size for tall women and they come up to my chest!

David Nieper sell tights but they are hellishly expensive. Often wonder what they are like.

Tegan and Grannyknot, I also belong in your size group. I do wear tights , as I find they stop my thighs rubbing, sorry, too much info . M&S are OK as are some of Tesco tights, if they have gussets, nice On the plus side, they are reasonably cheap and last a while.

I've just googled David Nieper tights. Oh the legs! . Shouldn't be allowed.

Yes but look at the price £29 for support tights!!!!!

I have always found Peacocks fine but most of their shops seem to have closed now.

I have a big bag of tights but have not worn any for several years. I hate them.

I used to find that most tights pinched me terribly in the middle. But I find these M&S ones very comfortable www.marksandspencer.com/100-denier-velvet-touch-opaque-tights-1-pair-pack/p/p22339130?image=SD_02_T60_5622_Y0_X_EC_90&color=BLACK&prevPage=plp I'm quite tall. They may be too thick for a summer wedding though?

Funny how everyone I know seems to have gone over to trousers, so there has been quite a shift over the last 20 years or so

When my son married I bought an eye wateringly expensive outfit and the shop offered me a pair of tights FREE. (WOW!) They were amazingly comfortable, and although I almost choked when I saw the price on the packet (£20, and this was nine years ago) they lasted for years and were incredibly comfortable. They were, I am sure, 'Wolford Wolsey' or something very similar. I saved them for special occasions - they were silky, stretchy but not baggy, and I could wear them without even thinking about drooping knees and a waistband edging down. Likely to be abut £30 now but worth it if you consider the 'cost per wear' - they probably worked out cheaper than Poundland in the end.
