Where can I find decent black tights??

I don’t know what on earth I do to tights but all of mine seem to ladder or get tiny holes in before I’ve even worn them. I bought some of those M&S magic shaping ones the other day and they got a tiny hole in the thigh when I tried them on! I’m so careful with them too.

I really need a pair of 60/80 denier to wear for my work Christmas do next week. Which tights do you swear by?

M&S Autograph velvet 60 denier, John Lewis velvet 60 denier, Seasalt recycled opaque. All been great for me, don’t think I’ve had a hole in any of them. I do size up though and get large. I’m a size 12

Totally agree Woolford; amazing tights. Expensive but so it.

I love my most recent snag tights purchase to the point I've just bought some new dresses to wear them with! I find them really comfy though perhaps a little on the big side, even though I bought the size recommended based on my height and weight.

Not had an issue with the toes yet but I don't wear them that often.

I love primark and they do tights that have a sock on the end which are brilliant as I usually always get a hole in the toe

Primark tights are brilliant. I’ve got pairs I’ve had for 5 years!

Another vote for Tesco F&F. I’ve had mine for years though so can’t comment on current quality!

Asda. Never failed me.

M&S ugh tights for me too 🤣 I have pairs that are years old and worn weekly

Though I bought some Primark ones years ago in an emergency and they were brilliant. They must have realised they were unreasonably good quality because I've never seen them in there since.
