Tights

I'm looking for a 20-30 denier in navy blue. Must have that 'pocket' for the gusset. Not just a seam that ends up cutting me in half.

In XL or XXL. I'm a size 16 and M&S XL don't have enough give in them.

Not fussed about price.

Are comfy tights a good phenomenon?

Snag do blue tights, not sure whether they're navy. They're definitely comfortable. I always size up for tights to be comfortable and stay up properly.

Snag are best tights I've ever had. Pretty sure I've had a navy pair from them before.

I have navy tights from Snag. They are brilliant.

I love the cotton tights from m&s
Hard to find but are great gusset included

Tangledtresses · 12/05/2021 20:56

Oh I just checked they've stopped doing navy 😬🙄

Thanks all - I did look at Snag. No navy!

Snag definitely do Navy, I bought it the other day! It’s not the darkest navy though

Compromise time?

This doesn’t quite fit your criteria (goodness knows why this should be so difficult), John Lewis do 40 denier Active Light tights in navy. They are actually less opaque looking than the 40 denier suggest and they do come with a proper cotton gusset.

Thanks. They only go upto L. I need XL.

snagtights.com/products/80-denier-opaque-tights-navy snag do navy but only 80 denier. The up side is they will definitely be comfortable and practical and good quality, stay up, and have your size, but obviously they're not 30 denier.

Otherwise Amazon... found 20 denier navy with xl and xxl available on a very quick look, further searching will doubtless find 30 denier:

I'll tell you what are fab. H&M maternity tights. Really comfy in the tummy.

KatyS36 · 09/01/2022 07:37

Try Wolford. I'm a 16 and wear large there. They last years for me and are so comfy and flattering.

I love Snag tights. They have such wonderful colours and cater for all sizes.
