What the hell are these monstrosities?

I love Woolford tights, they last forever, but for the love of God I can't think of ANY occasion that I would want to wear these. I wonder why they're in the sale? (though still hideously overpriced).

Very Kardashian.

They would be bad enough if they were actual trousers, but hold ups?

That is a mystifying garment.

LakeTittyHaHa · 30/05/2020 08:31

Can’t believe they are still 40 odd quid in the sale!

theseriousmoonlight · 30/05/2020 08:33

The only place I would ever consider wearing them would be Love Island. I'm not sure what I'd have on top though. Possibly a tasteful glittery bodysuit like Britney Spears in that video (Toxic I think, but can't be sure).

Is it possible they are for Eurovision? Are Wolford like the school suppliers for Eurovision?

Patienceisvirtuous · 30/05/2020 08:44

Under a maxi dress?! 😬

Bigpaintinglittlepainting · 30/05/2020 08:49

I just can’t comprehend what I am seeing

Bubblewings · 30/05/2020 09:03

Ummmm.....nope, got nothing.

Oliversmumsarmy · 30/05/2020 09:05

Aren’t tights supposed to be tight?

justanotherneighinparadise · 30/05/2020 09:06

They need more explanation than that one picture!!!!!!

I can only think that they might be for reducing static under wide leg trousers, or full length skirts/dresses. So the wearer doesn't feel like they are wearing tights on their skin.

But I'm clutching at straws.

Megatron · 30/05/2020 10:09

But I'm clutching at straws.

Yes. Yes you are. Grin

I imagine it would be very difficult to get the length the same each side too - it doesn't matter with hold up stockings because they've got feet. But hold up trousers? You'd have one length shorter than the other unless you placed the top of them perfectly. Well I would anyway.

You can get Moonlight sleeves to match! All of the "you might also like" items are also terrible - a bra that looks like you've got red veins all over your breasts? Very attractive.

I’m puzzled why you’re puzzled.

The website clearly states these are the perfect summer look. So come on guys, let’s go buy our summer tights, sorry, our looses

Crocky · 30/05/2020 10:20

I came on to this thread thinking oh come on they’re a pair of tights, how bad could they be? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Megatron · 30/05/2020 10:33

Does this help @justanotherneighinparadise? 🤣

Sleeves to match? I think I'd rather flaunt my bingo wings quite honestly.
