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 usually only wear black or navy tights and have bought from Snag in the past. They're fine, don't get the hype, they're just fine. At some point I bought a 'burgundy' pair from them to make up postage or something. It's a horrible shade so I only ever wear it with knee highs so very little colour shows through.

I wish their navy was more navy. It’s more fun than that. I am not fun and want navy tights to wear to work with navy skirts. I don’t want mustard or teal. Otherwise I do like snag.

What's bopo? Honestly no one cares what you do or how you look as much as you do about yourself. Just wear what you want.

Love my snags. Everyone I’ve recommended them to, of all shapes/sizes/sexes, loves them too. They are ridiculously comfortable.
I only wear black or grey ones though Grin

Body positive. When fat women have the audacity to not hate themselves and their bodies.

'Body positivity' is no longer the thing, it's all about 'body neutrality' these days.

Jameela Jamil said so innit.

SleepingStandingUp · 29/09/2020 18:20

What's body neutrality? When you're ambivalent about your body?

KnightsofColumbusThatHurt · 29/09/2020 18:58

Dunno tbh..... Grin

What are irregular choice shoes???

Springfern · 29/09/2020 19:51

Just googled irregular choice shoes. Wtf

Springfern · 29/09/2020 19:53

And always Heist over Snag

Therollockingrogue · 29/09/2020 20:18

@Springfern why heist?

I just did the same - they look hideous and like they'd be really uncomfortable!
Chipsahoy · 29/09/2020 21:06

I love irregular choice shoes. Not their out there ones but they have some awesome ones. Today’s outfit complete with irregular choice boots.
Not got any snag tights but don’t wear coloured tights except forest green with my brown winter shorts.

Having been a variety of sizes - I can't pull off bright tights any more. I feel they're best left to long slender legs tbh. Maybe that's the different between quirky art student and gnome school matron

Untangled87 · 29/09/2020 21:34

Get yourself to the Popsy fan group on Facebook. It’s all novelty print dresses, colourful tights and funky shoes. You’ll fit right in Grin

bumblebeebiz · 29/09/2020 21:45

😂 I definitely look like I teach art at the gnome school but I like it.
All about body positivity innit 😉

Springfern · 30/09/2020 08:11

@Therollockingrogue I find the waistband much more comfortable. For me, snag really digs in. I don't know if heist do the wacky colours though

LadyEloise · 30/09/2020 09:50

I thought Snag tights were really expensive.
I got them mixed up with Heist tights. Blush

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.”

🤣

I get you OP, I think I saw on another thread that the Snag 'community' online can be a bit...obsessive, the way of Lucy and Yak. Buying some random tights doesn't mean you need to make a lifestyle choice or make them a personality trait though, they're just plain tights aren't they, with a big marketing budget Confused

People should wear what makes them feel good or happy. For me the bright ones make a good Instagram picture but look batshit when I've (very rarely) seen them in real life. I'm boring and would only wear black anyway. I find my tights from Primark to be very comfortable and suitable so feel no need to pay 4 times the price for the hype.

RoSEbuds6 · 30/09/2020 10:42

Just a simple 'around town' shoe.
I have to say that although not the sort of shoes I would wear, they are absolutely bonkers and glorious at the same time.

professionalnomad · 01/10/2020 11:12

I wear IC shoes and Snag tights to work almost every day. Also a full face of quite bold makeup. I'm a vice principal and 37! The kids love my shoes!

@Derekhello

I have numerous bits of clothing with cats on. Quite a few from Joe browns
