Tights, forgotten how uncomfortable they are!

I never wear tights in the summer months as they are uncomfortable when it's warm. Why not try some loose wide leg trousers. They are very popular just now and look really nice.

snag tights are life changers, they are SO comfortable and take into account weight/height

These get a massive yes from me. I'm tall (6'1") and a good size 18. Snag tights are brilliant.

Probably too late now for Saturday but why must you wear tights for a wedding? Why not opt for longish, summery skirt or wide leg trousers? Or if you must show your legs, fake tans are effective and subtle these days.

I would suggest you ditch the tights and enjoy yourself!

I can’t get tights on thanks to uncooperative limbs on left side. Yes, I’ve tried those weird contraptions that care shops sell, they don’t help. Holdups, over the knee socks, leggings or bare legs for me, depending what I’m wearing them with. Black leggings with ankle boots look like tights anyway.

I gave up on tights years ago as I was fed up with them either slipping down so that the crotch hobbled me or "cutting my throat" if I pulled them up. Some hold-ups don't - they slip down, but if you can find some good ones they are much more comfortable.

Hold ups might be worth a try. I've been wearing them for years and find them pretty comfortable.

Have a lovely day on Saturday.

I think the advice to buy a bigger size is good. I’m a 10/12 (more 12 at the moment if I’m honest ) and always buy large size tights. Medium are just too skimpy.

Saying that, I think I’ve only worn tights twice since last March - a nice glittery pair on Christmas Day and another pair at Easter. Standards are certainly slipping round here….

I’ve never really liked tights to be honest, I’ve never found a nice fitting pair yet, I’m quite tall and was a size 16/18, haven’t worn tights for about 20 years , and I’ve tried expensive ones and cheaper ones, so I feel your pain, I’ve never heard of snag tights janeJudge, so it’s good to know, but I have been known to snag several when pulling up ?

I hate tights and have been wearing sheer stockings ( when the occasion demands ‘leg coverings’) for years, so comfortable.

Just buy huge tights and be done with it.

Janejudge, taller, ok, wider though may be the issue. Bras remain the same size, boobs get bigger. Give in or do something about it……that is the eternal question…..

You probably need to buy better quality and the correct size.

well MissChateline the wedding is on Saturday so I don't think she has much choice other than having to chop her own legs off. It has been ignored for years that women have been getting taller. Tights are ill designed at best, as are bras

Sorry but if I were you I would be trying to reduce a little so this wasn’t an issue in the future.

Well.....if I were you, I would be trying one size larger. That's all. Good luck and enjoy your wedding irrespective of this. I'm very envious. Haven't been to a good old shindig since Covid began.
