Where can I find EXACTLY the right coloured tights?

[ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged]

Um, I'm going to a fancy dress Christmas party dressed as a reindeer

I've bought a tan coloured dress and my plan is to wear matching tights and a pair of antlers and to paint on a red nose. However, the tights are proving a problem. You have no idea how hard it is to find the right shade of tights!!

When I google or ebay 'tan tights', 'beige tights', 'camel tights' etc I just get a selection of skin coloured tights, which is no help. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone suggest the right search terms OR advise me of any shops or websites that have a wide range of coloured tights?

Thanks!

Search brown?

Tried that. Too dark.

I thought I was being so clever with my 'sexy' reindeer idea (come on, the whole idea of fancy dress is still to look hot right?!) but it's proving a nightmare!

how about trying 'rust' coloured?

American Apparel have a really wide range of coloured tights. Here's a link - store.americanapparel.co.uk/women-stockings---hosiery.html Not all the colours have a preview photo, but you should be able to see there are several different shades of brown available; probably best to find your nearest branch and pick one out to be sure you've got exactly the right shade.

Just realised I didn't make the link 'live', here it is (save you copy-and-pasting): store.americanapparel.co.uk/women-stockings---hosiery.html

what about these in mocca?

what about tan leggings?

Oooh, these are good. Thank you. The tan leggings look like the closest in colour to the dress I have.

I saw tan leggings in tesco last week only about £4 I think.

these

I bloody love mumsnet. I knew you ladies wouldn't let me down!

I'll try tesco first as I'd be able to compare the colour to the dress. If I don't have any luck then I'll try your websites. Thank you!
