I haven't bought tights in decades and my overriding memory of them is they ladder as I put them on. Have to get some for a wedding and will be having manicure and pedicure the day before so hopefully no scaggy bits on nails to cause damage.
I would quite like control but not if they are uncomfortable all day.
Also I have a long body so don't want ones that fall down (god I remember wearing another pair of pants on top in the 80s!)
Also I have the whitest legs ever ( i recently bought 2 types of the palest make up to cover up varicose veins and they both just looked liked I daubed fake tan over me!)
Ideally I don't want to spend a fortune as I can't imagine wearing them again much.
Thanks
