shanes teeth Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I wish I was. I end up walking like a penguin sometimes because tights aren't long enough in the leg Then you should do as the penguins do and lie down and slide on your belly.

Emmie92 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hello ladies, I'm wanting a shortcut to which shop/brand has the best opaque tights. This is because I'm fed up with wasting money on ill fitting/rough textured/baggy tights .... well you get the picture. My latest purchase is two pairs of 80 denier tights from John Lewis for £10. (I know gentlemen, if only you knew how expensive it is to look fab ..). Anyway, they aren't good They make my pants fall down when walking and have that horrible roll down effect when you sit down. Waste of money Last year I bought some really nice ones. They were quite high up but acted a bit as a slight tummy firmer (they weren't described as such but I think it the way they fitted me). However I can't remember where they are from! Probably either M&S or Dorothy Perkins. It's a shame that they aren't labelled, I guess it's because the suppliers supply more than one shop. So, which tights do you like? Opaques in any colour but not hipsters and be really smooth and nice. None of your fifteen quid ones either Ooo, and I find the 40 denier ones a bit thin and easily snagged. I buy M&S 40 denier opaque tights as I find them comfortable, good quality and and if the weather is cold I just wear two pairs instead of buying the more expensive 80 denier opaque tights.

Flowersfade Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 How much are they and where do you get them? Don't tell me blimmin' London! I bought some from the states but you can get them from House of fraser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojothecool Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Well I always used to buy Marks' tights, but got sick of the expense and the fact that the quality went downhill - they weren't long enough and always ended up halfway down to my knees! I thought I'd try some Primark 'pull your tummy in' tights, and they're brilliant! I've had them for 3 winters and they're still going strong. I chuck them in the washing machine (I always used to handwash my M&S ones) and they don't bobble or stretch. I'm not a Primark fan, normally, but I certainly wouldn't pay £8=£10 for a pair of inferior tights again, when you can get really good ones from 'Primarni' for £3. (and if the cat puts a claw through them, you're not going to cry about it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libuse Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 M&S Autograph (only Autograph, not their other ranges) for day to day, Wolford for evenings and nicer stuff. There are no other brands worth touching - they all end up being a waste of money as they snag and ladder too easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Star Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Wolford are the best by far - house of fraser used to sell them, but def available online... They're loads more expensive than your usual brand though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
