Knitted tights

12 replies

Fancy a pair of black knitted tights - just like my girls used to wear to school. M&S only seem to do them up to age 16, and I doubt I'd fit them!

Anyone seen any on their travels. High St stores hopefully, but open to online too. Prefer not the cable knit variety as I'd like to wear with a patterned dress. (Too much going on, I fear).

Thanks in advance.

Look up the sizing for the children's ages. I think mine are age 13-14 from Tesco and I'm a size 8. M&S age 14 is 36.5" hips and about 64.5"height

@KirstenBlest Good idea. Thank you. Would do me the power of confidence to think I'd fit an age 16 - but I just might!

Snag do woolie tights. I have a few pairs. Nice and cosy.

John Lewis do them. My favourites are from Tesco but I haven’t seen them in this year.

I bought some wolly ones from snag a few years back. Still wearing them, they are great. I'll be gutted when they finally wear out as I don't really want to give them any more money after the fetish adverts that arrived in my inbox without warning.

I've been right through their mailings as far back as I can find and I can't see anything of this nature.

Marks and Spencer's are massive. Like all their clothes with limbs. Mine are age 13 I think.

I've deleted the emails but they included a lot of photos of women bending over in stockings, the photos focused on the arses not the products. The aesthetic was very much porn/fetish rather than focusing on the tights. There have also been quite a few photos of adults dressed as little girls, which again have a fetish vibe.

They have form for very questionable images, they see it as part of their inclusiveness, but they don't seem to include average women who want some tights for work.

I've done a quick search and found a few threads that have discussed it previously.

Ah right, I am the fetish content so I obviously don't view it that way. Oh well!

Thanks all...

Love the Next ones. I'll go down to local branch later and see if they have any :)
