Where do people buy decent tights from these days?

Snag tights are great - not cheap but last well.

PhoebeBridger · 01/02/2023 17:10

Snag! Bit more expensive but so so worth it

BooCrew · 01/02/2023 17:11

Snag. They're the only tights I'd buy, goodness knows why all tights manufacturers don't change to their design.

GiraffeF · 01/02/2023 17:14

Snag all the way. Worth every penny.

froomeonthebroom · 01/02/2023 17:21

Came on to say snag and I see I'm not the only one!

Justcashnosweets · 01/02/2023 17:23

Definitely Snag. They are unbelievably comfortable for tights. Even Dd who hates tights, loves her Snags.

MedievalNun · 01/02/2023 17:24

another one voting for Snag. Absolutely bloody amazing. And don't get me started on their chubb rub shorts. A lifesaver under summer frocks

Tidypidy · 01/02/2023 17:27

Manzi tights from Amazon. Cheaper than Snag but more comfy and no questionable marketing.

UserEleventyBillionandOne · 01/02/2023 17:35

Another vote for Snag, especially the footless ones, I hate toe seams.

redspottedmug · 01/02/2023 17:39

Just buy regular ones but size up one or two sizes.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 01/02/2023 17:40

Popsy do great tights...

PompomDahlia · 01/02/2023 17:42

I was actually a bit disappointed with Snag and found they dug into my muffin top. I’m a massive fatty though. I got on really well with Heist tights - expensive but with a big waistband so they didn’t dig in or roll down and I didn’t feel desperate to rip them off on getting home

Schmusimausi73 · 01/02/2023 17:46

Falke.

NotEnoughMud · 01/02/2023 17:48

I like the bamboo tights I get at Boots.

RampantIvy · 01/02/2023 17:48

Yet another vote for Snag. I agree about their marketing. In their effort to be "inclusive" you would think that they only catered for plus sizes.

I have long legs, and Snag are the only brand where I don't end up with the crotch somewhere near my knees.

GlassBunion · 01/02/2023 17:49

Snag.

Shinyandnew1 · 01/02/2023 17:51

Can I ask what is so different about Snag? What do they have at the waistbandthat doesn’t cut you in half like other tights?

PearlHeart · 01/02/2023 17:57

I would say for me a mix between snag & better tights.
I wear both and I wear tights every day of the year as I wear dresses all year round.
Both companies for tights have been pretty hard wearing and wash & dry well. I don't find they dig in either!

Magic. They’re actually crafted from magic. It’s the only plausible explanation for them fitting over my voluminous posterior without cutting me in half at another point.

MissBattleaxe · 01/02/2023 17:58

Another vote for snag. They have a sort of six way stretch so it's like wearing a second skin. So comfy you hardly know you're wearing them. Despite having four cats, nobody has succeeded in laddering them and some of my pairs are over two years old and good as new.

aibutohavethisusername · 01/02/2023 17:59

Popsy

UnleashMyPicasso · 01/02/2023 18:00

I’m a massive fan of Snag tights (the photos on their website don’t do them justice).

RaininSummer · 01/02/2023 18:01

Unfortunately Snag. Loathe the company image but the tights are good.

emmathedilemma · 01/02/2023 18:02

These are the best tights I own, I’m just annoyed they don’t make them in navy too! www.marksandspencer.com/60-denier-velvet-touch-soft-opaque-tights/p/clp60113750?prevPage=srp

HollyGolightly4 · 01/02/2023 18:03

Snag tights - another vote!

I think it's great they don't use typical models, they have a full range of sizes.
