Will snag tights make me look like a bopo blogger?

Well will they? I like snag tights. But do they just scream bopo instagrammer?
Is it a slippery slope to irregular choice shoes and dresses with kittens on?

I'm pretty sure you don't have to buy mustard/ teal/ emerald colour tights....?

JoinTheMicrodots · 28/09/2020 20:40

How the fuck would anyone know what brand tights you're wearing? Are you planning to wear them with the label on prominent display? Hmm

Therollockingrogue · 28/09/2020 20:40

I think they look quite nice. But then I just had a look at how people were styling them online and wondered if they represented a whole subculture i didn’t know existed?!

Ha no but the colours are pretty unique aren’t they?

Your thread title is amusing to me Grin

Titsywoo · 28/09/2020 20:44

I love mine - so comfortable! I have a grey, black and maroon pair so nothing garish.

PaulinePetrovaPosey · 28/09/2020 20:44

I have black and (tasteful) grey ones. They are AMAZING and the only tights that have ever properly fitted.

And not 'look at me I'm quirky' at all, thank fuck.

I dunno OP, I think people generally know where they stand on Irregular Choice shoes, I think you’re safe there Grin

I like big perspex jewellery and that seems to have a Similar kind of 'look' associated with it. It’s nice to pick and choose the inspiration that suits you!

toomanyplants · 28/09/2020 20:47

I have both snag tights and IC shoes.
I'm not an Instagram blogger, equally don't give a shit what people think.
Do you.

ApolloandDaphne · 28/09/2020 20:49

They are just tights. I have black ones and navy ones. I am fairly certain no-one knows what make they are when I wear them.

Titsywoo · 28/09/2020 20:51

You've just inspired me to buy some bottle green and navy ones Grin

I personally hate irregular choice shoes and I'm not on Instagram. They are just good quality tights that don't fall down all the time.

unoeufisunoeuf1 · 28/09/2020 20:51

Not unless you style them with a contrast colour dungaree dress, Irregular Choice shoes and walk around in front of murals laughing hysterically to yourself.

Bright tights existed pre-Snag. I've seen women in France wearing them chic-ly, depends what you put with them!

Therollockingrogue · 28/09/2020 20:52

Oh great so they’re
Not like .... a tights cult then?

I have no idea what a bopo blogger is - or even how to pronounce it.
I wear Snag tights for work to avoid spending my time hitching up my gusset from between my knees. I avoid fishnets, any seasonal offerings and ones that make my legs look like an uncooked ham.
I do wear navy, burg and black as standard with the same colour dresses. If it’s a less formal meeting I might brave a dark purple or green with black dress and shoes but match it with an amethyst or jade brooch.
I just like being comfortable.

@ unoeufisunoeuf1
How do French women chic up their snags?

This tweet says it best:

“ Wearing black opaque tights: I am a sleek and sexy puma of a woman

Wearing any other colour of opaque tights: I teach art at the gnome school.”

frogswimming · 28/09/2020 20:57

What is a bopo blogger?

Therollockingrogue · 28/09/2020 20:59

I should have phrased my question like that yes Grin

Will I look like an art teacher at the gnome school?

megletthesecond · 28/09/2020 21:02

"Gnome school" 😂

Miseryisabutterfly · 28/09/2020 21:02

You are funny op 😂

SleepingStandingUp · 28/09/2020 21:03

I'm confused by them. I'm an 18/20 but they don't do that size so I can't have them.

Magicbabywaves · 28/09/2020 21:06

Bopo-body positive. I had to look it up.

I wear them (and irregular choice shoes). If you wear the dark colours, you’d look pretty ‘normal’.

PaulinePetrovaPosey · 28/09/2020 21:06

@SleepingStandingUp you absolutely can have them!

Have a look at the size guide. The ones you need will depend on both your dress size and your height.

Err yes they do! I'm a size 18/20 and they go even bigger than that.
