Best flesh coloured tights and hold-ups

[Gwenhwyfar]

Sheer, but not so much that they show my horrible veins and KP. Not glossy.
Ideally ones that would make me look like I've got a bit of a tan.
I know flesh coloured tights aren't popular on MN, but I might need them if it gets hotter - still in black opaques now.

I rate Autograph tights from M&S. they do a 15 denier in natural tan.

I like autograph hold ups, they aren't glossy and they are cooler than full tights in the heat. Bare legs today though - don't know how you can stand black opaques! :)

I got really nice micro fishnets in a slightly tan colour (I'm celtic blue/white) from Debenhams and I really like them.

Thanks everyone. Had trousers rather than dress and black opaques today and it's been the first hot day of the week for me. Every other day has had the same temperature according to BBC Weather, but all the other days have felt a bit cold and windy - I work near the sea.
I'll try autograph, but fishnets are too associated with prostitutes for me.

Snag sheers are fantastic! Really really recommend

I rate the m and s ones too, they have loads to choose from. I wash them in a bag on a delicate cycle and they last ages.

I like glossy and rate Aristoc

Wow, next time you ask for recommendations on any products, feel free not to imply any respondents are prostitutes

I didn't imply that any respondents are prostitutes Mother. I just said that fishnet tights are associated with prostitutes for me, as are a few other items of clothing.

Falke Shelina are the gold standard of nude tights or hold ups for me. They aren't shiny but also aren't that dead matt look the M&S ones have. They make you look like you have a light tan. Nothing else compares. Unfortunately they are quite expensive and I always seem to ladder them.

Yes, you did - "fishnets are too associated with prostitutes for me." You could quite easily have ignored the suggestion or said something like "I don't really like micronets" but you chose to make a link to prostitutes. Which was an unpleasant thing to do.

"you chose to make a link to prostitutes. Which was an unpleasant thing to do."

The link between prostitution and fishnets is well known and I'm hardly the first person to make it. I'm allowed to give an opinion on different types of clothes on a thread about Style and Beauty.
