Does anyone wear hold-ups or stockings in preference to tights?

[danceswithnewboots]

I blardy hate tights and need an alternative. Last time I tried hold ups was about 10 years ago and they kept falling down, useless.

you have to get the right size (read pack carefully re height / weight) and not moisturise your thighs

What about the full on suspenders etc? Or would you never get any peace ?

Hold ups are fab!
M&S ones are great.

i do. when i wear cropped trousers and boots and I don't want bear leg to show in the gap. I hate the feeling of tights under trousers so I wear hold ups with these. Not had a problem except once but it was an old pair and the elastic had gone!

LOL Scootergirl!

Agree with HumphreyCushion.

I'm 5'8" and a size 10/12 and I have the large from M&S. Just right and never had one slip down.

Occasionaly add suspenders if dp has done something very right that day!

Hee hee! No, I probably won't get any peace even with hold ups to be honest! M&S ones are good then? Where do you buy suspenders?!

Oh and if you don't have slim legs do you end up with a leg style muffin top?

primark holdups!!!! i love em, so does dh

I wear holdups

They stay up fine

I am 5' 1" and skinny and don't have a problem keeping hold ups up.

Used to wear suspenders.. haven't worn them for years though,

I didn't mean to start anything rude

don't moisturise your thighs!!!! Oh Mrs B. I never do. (only kidding a little bit)

Someone raved about hold-ups to me once. I am now determined to try them.

Ok, I need reassurance from someone size 14 (like me) or over that I'm not going to get a leg muffin top (can you tell I was a bit traumatised last time I wore them?!)

I am size 14/16 and mine are fine
