brown opaque tights?

Hi all, I cannot find decent brown opaques anywhere, any recommendations welcome!

Tried boots, next, sainsbos, Tesco, m and s, managed to get one multipack but its brown/berry/black, who needs more black grr. And they're only 60 denier, looking for more like 80/100 really. I would wear leggings instead but sadly they add a little extra bulk which I just cant tolerate at the min.

Maybe a specialist tights brand...Falke or Wolford?

cressetmama · 17/09/2014 08:42

Levante, if you spot them. I got mine (about two years ago) in TK Maxx for 2.99 but only 60 denier. They have worn well though; I haven't opened the last pair yet!

i am always on the look out for brown tights as wear them a lot in winter, debenhams have a 3 pack, but they're 60 denier. tesco have an 80 denier 2 pack.

I get them off ebay.

Wolford are a lovely dark brown. They also do the velvet hold ups in brown too.

MrsDavidBowie · 17/09/2014 13:19

I love Wolford holdups

wtftodo · 17/09/2014 20:59

Toyshop used to have brown opaques, have you checked?

MrsDavidBowie · 17/09/2014 21:41

Lol at Toyshop

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 17/09/2014 22:43

Have you tried Ebay.

MustTryDating · 17/09/2014 22:53

Brown is always hard to find. Try Falke or Wolford online at a hosiery site like My Tights.

Got some really good ones earlier this year but unfortunately from C&A and as we know now no C&A in U.K. They were 80 denier and very good quality and price. I got them in Austria. I visit Germany and Austria with work a lot, so if you cant find anything feel free to e-mail me off list and i can bring some back for you next time i go if you wish ?

PeoniesforMissAnnersley · 18/09/2014 07:32

M and S used to do 3 packs of brown opaques - have you tried there?

PeoniesforMissAnnersley · 18/09/2014 07:32

sorry just seen you have! Too early in the morning for me!

DarylDixonsDarlin · 18/09/2014 09:47

Thank you all so much for your advice and suggestions, perhaps I was just looking a bit too early in the season and they haven't come out down here yet (Cornwall). I will trawl the local ones again over the weekend and stock up if I find any. tanya1010 that's awfully kind of you, hopefully I won't need to take you up on the offer but I appreciate it anyway Thanks

Last weekend I wore a pair I had bought from Lidl a couple of years ago, the crotch was down near my knees Wink Smile shame really as they are lovely tights, not sure what happened with the sizing! i bought Large and im about 5ft 3 size 14...but the DCs were delighted to have them for their dressing up box haha

Good luck DarylDixons, but if you get stuck my offer still stands if you need it
