Good tights for tall people?

I am not even particularly tall (5'9"). But tights either seem to be too baggy, and fall down, or too short. It is SUCH a bugbear when the crotch is somewhere mid-thigh all day... Are there any good brands?

I'm 5' 10" and buy the L/XL size from either Boots or M&S and they are more than long enough. Pretty Polly do a L/XL, too I think as I definitely have some of theirs. Asda also do an XL.

Falke are brilliant. Their quality & sizing is very good - best I've found by far.

Levante do a tall and extra tall size, and I like Transparenze and Falke too

Do Falke come in S M L XL? Is it obvious which to be (slightly dense question I know, sorry!)?

agree with falke.

best bet is Wolford though. Very pricy, but they stay in shape for ages. I have 3 pairs of wolford tights that I just wear and wear and wear, bought them 2 years ago.

I wear size L. Am 6 ft 1, size 12-14.

Hope not to hijack thread but can anyone recommend tights for if your tall & well endowed in the bum dept? M&s etc x large tights on me seem to say you can be tall or fat but dont you dare be both! Evans do seek bigger rights but quality is awful

mytights.com has a plus size and tall section if that's any good

CMOTDibbler · 06/02/2012 18:47

If you check out mytights or uktights, then there are options for the tall and shapely.

I am too clumsy for Wolford tights Sad
