TIghts for evening wear ( opaque)

[SeeLyon]

short skirt or dress
are we doing 60 denier?
also with sheen or not?
hayulp

140 denier all the way! Black or coloured (dark red if with black dress maybe?) No sheen. Tesco do pairs for £4 - nice and soft and very thick.

oh god my legs arent that bad! do 140 denier even exist?!

I'm not sure but that's what the packet says and they are the thickest non-cottony tights I've had :)

Thick as in dark colour but they don't look 'thick' IYSWIM? They give a lovely opaque look without adding bulk.

Shiny and not too thick 60 enough

Jasper Conran do lovely ones in Debenhams. Really good dark colour, silky and slightly shiny. Ive had loads of compliments when I wear them.

Thanks simone i really need some new black ones

ooh will look at debs

Theyre really nice. Think they are about £8

Falke opaques are beautiful and unlike most tights they fit properly. I wear a xl in most tights to get the right length & waist fit but only need medium in Falke. I'm a 12. Debenhams have them in sale atm. They last forever too.

If this is for your christmas party dress, don't do shiny. Matt 60 denier with suede shoes will do it.

Was running out if time today. For marks silky .. Sonething. 40 denier

Yes monkeys. Falkegood I hear but am dreadful klutz with tights

Falke are v strong weave and really last. Didn,t know debenhams did them.

woolford - they do a pair of deepest black silky ones with seam up the back - they are gorgeous - i have them nearly 2 yrs now - (but they cost so much that i m so precious about them when i do wear them i really mind them and hand wash only ) but i really do get compliments on them and people asking when i got them etc when i wear them,
if they were for a spesh occasion i d definitely recommend them ( i think when i got them was for a winter wedding )
or if you hang about and see them in sale anywhere then go for them - i think wolford have patented the look of them cos i did try see if there were cheaper alternatives recently.

Have some excellent black Falke ones and would love to wear them to a party on Sun. night with a nice dress. But in the suburb where I live I'm not sure anyone would really know it was a good thing, let alone normal, to wear opaques with partyish dresses and would think I'd left my daytime 'casual' tights on!!

So may submit to the famous nude - have some OK Autograph 10 denier ones stashed away.

I have some lovely velvety wolfords, I would say no shine looks better (eg look at pics of Kate Middleton in her zara dress and opaques - would have been so much nicer if non-shiney imho).
