Tights for size 6 daughter for college

My daughter has about 15 pair of tights in her drawer. Apparently the only pair that actually fit and don't go baggy are the ones with 2 huge ladders so obviously she wore those to school! Of course they have no label in and I have no idea where they came from. I know they're not opaque M&S body sensor because those are too thick but at least have a label so I can rule them out.

Please tell me which tights your petite teenagers are wearing to school. She's size 6, 5ft 4 and 23 inch waist!!

I’m a size 6 and wear snag tights which really last/ haven’t gone baggy in the 4+ months that I’ve had them.

Snags are amazing, it was what I always bought for DD who is tall but more like a size 10. They fit all sizes.

M&S children’s tights go to age 15-16 and fit my daughter who is a similar size to yours. Even their XS adult tights are a bit big

Thanks everyone. She's had Snag before but they are a bit pricey as she goes through them quite quickly. Will give girls M&S a try if they do ones sheer enough for her

try primark tights, they’re the best I’ve ever had for longevity. My DD has some from 2 yrs ago that are still good. She is about a 6 gets a small or xs.
