Another uniform question - decent school tights?

Where can I find grey tights that don't sag at the waist, bum and knees after a term, or shrink in the leg, so that the gusset slides down if dc tries to run?

(Tip: Matalan tights appear to do both - stay away. Though to be fair, their skirts and summer dresses have been pretty durable.)

Thank you.

Can I ask those who have Pex tights---how do they come up for sizing?

H&M are a pain to pay after though you cant pay online you have to go to the bank to pay

Forgot to say I actually like the TU tights

Another vote for John Lewis. Fit well, true to size and last well.

M&S were about the worst ones!

Never heard of pex.
Where do you get them from?

Got some John Lewis tights after, at £6 for 2 prs per pack.

The feet do seem quite 'generous' but not so big that they don't fit. Given my kids are on the lower end of the measurements (e.g. says 'height up to 116cm' on the pack - dd2 is 106cm) - a bit of growing room is fine, and they still look fitted on her.

They are soft and thick to the touch, and the waistband feels stretchy and durable. Will see how long they last, as not been through any washes yet, but so far, I like.
