Thick cotton tights in orange anyone?

I've looked in all the usual places online but maybe they don't exist! I'm after some proper winter tights in cotton like the lovely ones White Stuff do (I have their teal coloured ones) but in a a burnt orange shade. All I can find that comes close are footless tights / leggings which I don't want. I found a gorgeous vintage-style brown and white patterned Motel mini skirt in a charity shop and burnt orange tights are exactly what I need to go with it! 😁Has anyone spotted any?

You could buy some white/cream ones and dye them in the shade you like (if your skin would tolerate it). That might give you some more options, as orange isn’t a common colour.

Edited to add this as an option:
These cream tights are 93% organic cotton:eczemaclothing.com/products/fine-93-organic-cotton-tights?variant=33971672055867&currency=GBP&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAoczHQiVtjIABAGYEjndcZtrBowBZ&gclid=CjwKCAjwvKi4BhABEiwAH2gcw9FcuVazFEZPLWKVw3O3arEVTCcaafr_CoOEP2VL6HREqiWlR1Du7BoCUPAQAvD_BwE

John Lewis and M&S age 14 are both aimed at height 165cm. Might be worth a look.

They don't have any orange tights and I suspect I'm too wide even if I'm not too tall! But thank you for the advice, this has been a brilliant thread, I love that so many people will step up to help a complete stranger find a pair of tights! 😍

Seasalt tights are great, I have one pair, bought in a sale. No orange ones though sadly!

That is certainly an option, thank you. Those tights look amazing - bit out of my price range though unfortunately!

Try 'Snag'. Massive range of tights/colours.

A word if caution: If you wear a white fluffy coat with those tights you may look like a goose!

Very festive though.

Thank you so much everyone, I'm very grateful that you all took the time to help me on my quest! I now have a shortlist of lovely orange tights to choose between. I think it's between Popsy and the Gipsy brand tights even though they're not cotton because the cotton ones, lovely as they are, are quite expensive! You're all stars!! ✨🌟✨
