Tights, forgotten how uncomfortable they are!

How about the using lotion that tans your legs or spray on leg tanner. I did that recently for a wedding.

Another vote for Snag tights here, on the very odd occasion that I have to wear them. I was at a wedding last saturday, and as the dress I was wearing below the knee, and summer weight fabric I went with bare legs and used a product by this works to give my legs a light sheen. I spent the money I would have spent on expensive tights on having a nice pedicure and wore wedge sandals. Nearly all of the female guests had done the same.

Im sorry but why do you have to wear tights at all, is there a rule somewhere that says you cant go out without them? I have never worn stockings pantyhose or tights and the world hasnt ended. Go bare legged….becdaring ?

Sadly we don’t all have beautiful unblemished legs ?

Get them plenty big enough and wear a panty girdle/magic knickers over the top and they won't go anywhere.
I like my tights to sit right under my bra.

I concur…Snag Tights are a total game changer…and their Chub Rub shorts are brilliant if you want to wear a dress without tights but don’t want your thighs to rub together.

Why bother with tights ? what's wrong with stockings?
I gave up years ago on sweat inducing tights and the need to pull down not just my knicks but the dreaded tights. not good when 'urgency 'is getting the better of me.
Gossard on line have suspender belts and matching accessories I still wear them isn't age but a number. ?

Never wear tights as I have much the same problem. In cold weather I wear leggings under skirts and dresses disguised with ankle boots so they look like thick tights. In summer I just don't wear anything. If I was going to a special do I would consider M & S tights. They are good quality and have a range of sizes

Wear pants over your tights!

? Snag tights. I'm short & wide & all my adult life have hated wearing tights as the crutch is always baggy, ankles wrinkly & tight across thighs & tum. Found snag Tights & would never wear anything else. They cater for all sizes & heights & have an array of fab colours. They also do chub rub shorts for the summer which are a life saver!

Tights - love them or hate them. I haven't worn them for years but I do remember the excitement of wearing tights when they first came out. Simple, smooth and sophisticated after years of wearing suspender belt and stockings.

I wear dresses and skirts all the time, if it’s a maxi I don’t bother with tights, but for knee length or midi dresses I do.

I am a size 10 and 5/7 so not overly tall or big but I always wear large or ex large. I pull them right up to my boobs to get a smooth line. I buy no snag, sheer, satin sheen, tights in flesh colour with lycra for the summer and thicker black lycra tighs for the winter. Lycra makes them hold their shape and fit better. I get them in New Look, Superdrug or John Lewis.

Hold ups every time for me too. I also use a bit of StaysPut (Irish dancers sock glue) to be confident they won't fall down. You can then position the top anywhere on the thigh that's comfortable. I guess it would work with stockings without suspenders too, as the glue does a great job of keeping them in place. No Nora Batty moments!

I am glad I shall never have to wear tights again. On formal occasions I am sure I can get round it with one of the above mentioned solutions. In fact I was just thinking the other day that the few pairs of tights I have left in my drawer will be very useful for cutting up and tying all those shoes together that I really must also get rid of. I thought I could perhaps tie the toes together, drop a shoe into each leg, and tie another knot and cut off above that. Hey presto, shoes firmly attached to each other and protected from scratches to boot! (Pardon the pun.)

SNAG tights, yes. You give them your height and dress size... they send you soft, comfy tights that fit and feel lush. Quite expensive but never put my fingers through them yet.
Have a lovely time at the wedding! x

Another vote for Snag tights, they fit all sizes.

I would recommend Snag tights. Made for the larger lady. They are amazing. Bit more expensive but worth every penny. Also chubby rub shorts under a dress with bare legs .

I've seen a lot of ads for Snag tights (they do a few leggings too, and the anti-rub shorts) and they look great.

I haven't worn tights for years. I go for leggings. In winter I wear black socks with them so there's continuation of colour and in summer bare feet. So much more comfortable than tights.
Also, hou could wear a long dress, I guess!

Definitely try the knickers over the tights. Works brilliantly for me. I love tights and wear them all winter!

Book a spray tan for your legs, will look very pretty with a lovely summer dress and nice shoes and means that you don't need tights which never look good unless they are black.

Another vote for M&S holdups - nice bit of lace at the top too! I tried sizes 18 and 20 tights on my size 16 tum and they are far too uncomfortable - and too long on my 5'5" frame. My sis who is size 10 cannot get comfy tights either.

Holdups are amazing. I wear dresses a lot and always wear holdups. They are comfortable. I am a size 16/18 as well

Another vote for Snag tights. I'm size 22 (much to my own horror!) and I find them soooo comfy and easy to put on. They go from a size 6-8 right up to size 28-36, and they make them to scale width-wise as well as height. Another major bonus is that along with the normal brown and black options, they do a big selection of brights, pastels, fishnets and funky. And they're not even expensive!

Simples...... buy some fake tan and colour your legs. Lots to choose from in supermarkets and Boots the Chemist. Follow the instructions carefully.
