Help me out! Smile. I'm looking for tights that have a wide waistband - so don't roll up! - in a 10/20 denier. I don't want the suck you in ones though.

I just got some from marks (no seams) which are nice but just don't fit me wonderfully. They sit more on my hips than waist.

Maybe it's just my shape? Confused

OP, as the M&S Autograph Seam Free come in different sizes, and you say they don’t fit you wonderfully, are you wearing the wrong size perhaps?

If you can’t find anything to suit, have you considered trying hold ups?

No doubt the usual Snag influencers will pop up shortly 😂.

Thanks @StarlightLady for the reply. I'm a big 14, small 16 so bought large. They just don't seem to come high enough? Maybe I should try XL.

Haven't done hold ups in eons! I might investigate...

Snag! Not an influencer Grin just a very satisfied customer.

OP, l would definitely size up in the Autograph.

Another vote for snag, I don’t often wear tights as I find them uncomfortable, I have skinny legs but a large bum and thighs, I usually find tights too restrictive around my thighs. Snag tights are amazing and feel comfortable.

Snag tights - only tights I’ve ever had that don’t roll up at the waistband and then slide down the legs, meaning you don’t have to do that awful shuffle to the bathroom to adjust and curse them upside down. They’re sized based on actual sizes and body shapes, rather than height, so fit far far better and don’t move!

Also not an influencer or anything like that, just genuinely cannot recommend snag tights enough!

Another one for snag. Had stopped wearing tights for all the reasons above until I found them. they are a bit more expensive but true story I had a sheer pair and I walked in my tights all the way from the O2, on and off escalators and tubes and then from the tube station and I didn't have even a tiny hole in them. amazing tights.

Ok... am going to try them. Will report back!
