Where's best for tall thermal tights?

I need some warmer tights for winter preferably in black, claret and navy, where's best to find them before it gets too cold?

TK Maxx has a good range in at the mo, at least my local one does. Including some Falke tights.

Definitely not Primark. I'd heard such good things about their fleecy tights. Got size large as it said to on the packet (size 8-10, 5ft11) and the crotch sits halfway down my thighs. I was so disappointed!

Watching with interest!

Not Next either. Bought M/L fleece ones yesterday. I'm 5ft 8 and size 10-12. There's a rip in the seam already.

Will try TKMaxx and avoid Primark and Next, thanks.

Doesn't leave any real choice for ease of availability and cost wise.

Matalan have 200 denier black thermal tights for £4 - they are ace. I am 5'6" and the medium is fine - maybe try the large?

I get mine mostly from M and s Autograph. I'm 5'9'' and have always found they fit well.

CatAmongThePigeons · 09/11/2013 21:25

Ooh shall try Matalan and M&S. I had a pair of normal Autograph tights that were 'tall' and they fitted very well. Thanks!

White Stuff tights this year are great for tall people. In previous years the L has been a bit er low slung, this year they'd fit a 6' person for sure.

i got the john lewis fleece lined ones, in a M/L. I'm 5'9 and a size 8, tight sizing is SO annoying for me. these seem ok so far...

That's a shame MotionCity I am 5'10" and a size 12 and they fit me perfectly, I love them and have quite a few pairs, have their 200 denier and their wool ones too, all brilliant.
