Snag tights - go for higher or lower size?

Been looking at these for a while and read through some past posts here that recommend them.

My issue is I'm 5'7" and a 18-20, most definitely fat. Judging by their size guide,I'm borderline between E and F. Leaning towards F but wanted some advice from people who've worn them before?

Also F has the advantage of being able to get 50 deniers which I think I prefer.

Is the slate wearable for work under blacl/light grey dresses or should I stick with black? Thanks

Lower definitely. I sized up and that are really comfortable but would be better slightly smaller tbh., they can get a little baggy around the ankles.

I'd say lower too; can't believe it took me so long to discover them, they're brilliant!

Definitely go lower. Their table recommended F for me but since buying I've found E is a much better fit. Their tights are amazing, I'm never going back to M&S!

I should have said, I'm taller than you and a size 20 so I think F would be too big

Ooh I've been looking at these and am exact same size as you and was also confused!

Are they really much better than other tights?

Yep they really are better. So easy to get on and really comfortable

I'm 5ft 10 and size 16, I can wear E or F but I prefer F as more roomy

Ok so consensus seems to be E but not sure whether yo buy 2E and an F or just 3 E. Doesn't seem worth buying less than 3 pairs.
