Tights on a plus size (ish) person...

[babyfish2]

Hi guys!

I'm not the greatest with putting outfits together and usually just go for an oversized jumper/ top with black jeans. I love autumn clothing but never brave enough to wear anything nice!

In your honest opinion.. if you saw a large 16, small 18 sized, mid twenties woman wearing this dress paired with 60 denier tights, black chelsea boots and a chunky knit cardigan do you think it'd look ok? I fear people would look and think I'm too 'big' to wear any of this stuff!

Also, do you find that tights make you look bigger than usual? I haven't had the nerve to wear anything other than jeans or leggings since leaving school!

I haven't ordered any of these items yet out of fear they'd just look awful anyway

Honest opinions greatly appreciated!

I am a similar size to you and I would wear that outfit. It looks lovely!

You'll look fine. Honestly.

Try Snag tights if you've not worn tights for a while/ever. They're brilliant.

You’ll look fab, go for it.

I would think you looked very nice. :)

It would look amazing! Wear whatever you feel comfortable in and don't give a damn about anyone around you. I'm a size 4 and I have the exact same thought processes as you sometimes. Even though we're different sizes we're still both conscious, so I say wear what you like! (And I need to practice what I preach!!) the likely hood is people will be caught up with their own confidence issues anyway xx

Looks really lovely and I am sure you will look great. As long as you feel comfortable you should wear anything you like! And I second the snag tights. Most comfortable and lovely tights ever.

I think it will look great! Another vote for snag tights, they have a great sizing chart and their chub rub shorts are so comfy in summer that I have several pairs.

It sounds really nice OP. I'm sure you will look lovely in it.

I really like that dress. I think also that dresses and black tights are often really flattering on many figures.

You're all so lovely, thank you😭

I've never heard of snag tights so will take a look now! Do you think 60 denier in usual tights are enough to hide or at least, slightly conceal cellulite?😬

I'm going to bite the bullet and order it all!

I'm the same size as you and I'd definitely wear that! Second snag tights, or Popsy, they are good too!

Perfect outfit for us voluptuous ladies

You will look great! Another vote for Snag tights here - you’ll never look back. I have some black 120 deniers from there that are truly fab.

I just came on here to say snag tights! But someone beat me to it :)

I'd go minimum 100 denier if you're self conscious. Not that you should be

Oh wow, I can see snag tights are highly rated! I've just ordered some
