Can you get nice flesh colour tights?

I have the whitest legs ever and now I'm getting blue veins too.
Fake tan isn't helping.
Do nice pale tights exist? Not orange toned, something for pale people who want to wear knee length dresses.

Yes, I have some from Snag which I like. I wear them at work quite a lot

I think it's the denier that makes nude tights work. Go for a 5 denier - the lowest one. Don't go for a Matt or a shine one go for natural/nude. I use John Lewis own brand £7 but I know m and s do quite good 5 denier ones too. Any higher in the denier and it will look like beige tights. Good luck with the search.

Seconding Snag.
I Have some called builder's tea, but I think they do an even paler one called vanilla.

Builders Tea here too. Don't often wear them but they fit the bill for certain outfits.

I'm a lifelong member of the pale leg community and always recommend calzedonia tights. Arms are perpetually a shade or 2 darker than my legs though and they match well.

Super expensive but these are what we all used to wear a few years back when I worked as a Clinique consultant and had to wear a dress to work (it’s changed now). They’re lovely to wear and give your legs a make over 😆 (I’ve got no idea about the site I’ve linked to by the way, I’ve just googled those particular tights and that’s the first site that came up).

£42:50 (in the sale!) for a pair of tights?!? Shock

I think I need a lie down!
