Tights for tight haters

I loathe them. Can't stand the tingly tight feeling. But I love the way they look.

I wear opaque hold ups - Wolford velvet something and they are lovely, but do sometimes slip down. Are suspenders the way to go? Or should I just sweat it out and get used to the feeling of tights?

Shudder

yy, proper 6 or 8 hook suspenders are the way forward. The 4 hook jobs aren't really up to the job TBH.

These are really good- tinyurl.com/kyx5nnx

Don't be tempted to save a quid and get the non-premium ones though- the waistbands are insanely tiny and cut you in half. But the premium ones are brilliant, really comfy and avoid that horrible sweaty tight feeling.

My DH bought me some tights/stockings things from Stockings Direct, similar idea to the link above. They were black, and sexier looking than the BHS ones, but think they were more expensive. Have lasted well though.

Brilliant thanks, will check them out. Think I prefer the look of proper suspenders though tbh

Falke do cotton opaque tights which are lovely, you don't get that horrible sweaty, itchy strangulated feeling that happens with normal tights.

Thanks AuntySib will have a look - they sound good
