Best black tights ?

9 replies

I have lost weight recently so am updating my wardrobe.

I used to live in black leggings but feel tights are smarter so were do I get the best ones. I want to try wearing opaque but also non opaque ones as keen to move away from my previous uniform when I was overweight.

I am short 5’1 and used to find they rolled down but not sure if that was my belly causing that.

Heard good things about snag.

I have heard mixed things about snag so maybe I should try them

I have bought snag black tights for winter, for a few years. Last year they were more of a dark charcoal
Took some arguing with their customer returns to return and refund
They looked grey next to black clothes and ankle boots. I tried Better Tights and will be sticking with them in future.
Also,.personal choice but the snag website had started doing my head in. Very happy not to have to browse through it any more.

The absolute best tights are from Wolford. Yes, they are expensive but they last a long time and don't ladder easily. Better to have fewer pairs that are excellent than buying lots of cheaper one for more or less single use.

Snag for me!

Wolford are fabulous - so comfortable. Wash them carefully and they last forever.

better tights. tried snag, they weren't great. Very happy with better tights. They don't last forever, but i machine wash and dry on drying rack and they last a year or so.

I find these good, they stay up fine for me and are comfortable. I'm 5' 0", current weight 8 stone after losing three and a half stone myself.

Snag used to be brilliant but now rubbish quality. Better tights are a good brand.
