(Pale) nude tights

19 replies

FireandBrimstone · 12/09/2021 09:40

Realising that the days of no tights are numbered now we're in mid September. I always struggle to find nude tights that are pale enough to suit my complexion and don't look 'American Tan' on me. Any good recommendations?
Bonus points if they are thicker than 15den too.
Or.... are nude tights just not the done thing anymore?

M and S.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/09/2021 09:48

M&S Illusion.

SausageRoll2020 · 12/09/2021 10:24

I also came on to say M&S illusion!

The only others ones I ever found light enough were Peacocks Bamboo, but I'm not even sure if Peacocks exists anymore.

TableNiner · 12/09/2021 10:56

Yes M&S Illusion!

I hate that too tan fake look that doesn’t match the rest of you!

FireandBrimstone · 12/09/2021 11:52

Looks like a trip to M&S then! Thanks all.
Also @SausageRoll2020 I found Peacocks online although their tights don't seem to have colour names. I think there may be an actual shop local to me, will seek it out.

Snag tights in builders tea, 50 denier and look great on. That's the lightest shade but there are other slightly darker ones.

UncomfortableBadger · 12/09/2021 14:59

Another vote for Snag tights! They last FOREVER & fit beautifully.

I’m ghostly pale & their vanilla marshmallow 30 denier tights are absolutely ace. Have thrown out all my crappy M&S tights and replaced them with Snag.

NotMyCat · 12/09/2021 15:04

Snag in builders tea or vanilla marshmallow
I'm pale blue and they are great

FireandBrimstone · 15/09/2021 18:34

Thanks for the snag recommendations too, these will definitely fit the bill for the thicker ones I was looking for.

If you're going for Snag definitely vanilla marshmallow. Builder's tea is much darker.

daisyjgrey · 15/09/2021 18:40

Snag, all day long.

Chocolatecoatedkettlebell · 15/09/2021 19:11

Yeah, snag 30 denier vanilla marshmallow

Disfordarkchocolate · 15/09/2021 19:12

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie

M&S Illusion.
These are fabulous.

Can someone send the link for the illusion rights please? Thank you

I did a search but think they've been discontinued. They're super-sheer summery ones I believe.

Tesco oiled

Falke Shelina in "golden" (don't be put off by "golden", they are very natural looking even on my pasty legs).

I think they're a 12 denier, but they are brilliant if you don't want to look as though you are wearing any tights.

Does anyone know which tights The Duchess of Cambridge uses?

FireandBrimstone · 02/10/2021 13:04

Just wanted to pop back to say thanks for the suggestions - I got Snag's Builders Tea and Marshmallow in the two thicknesses. Although yes I can see one is a bit more tan, I'll use both (though the 50den ones are absolutely ideal for coming into Autumn/Winter so really pleased to have found them 👌)
