Snag tights- do you recommend and which colour

[Slothsareace]

I have very pale skin and want to wear a knee length black dress to a large dinner event. I’ll be wearing black shoes. I have no outer beauty and very little style and adjusting to perimeno weight gain (v. Short and now a size 12). Help me ladies, are snag tights as good as they promise? What colour? Black or nude? Which shade for blue-white skin? Thanks wise ones

I love snag tights but you need to put aside your principles because they are so captured with the TWAW nonsense. I haven't found anything as good despite trying so I'm hoping my old ones last a long time as I'm not giving them any more money. I'd always go for black personally.

If you are only a size 12 you could almost certainly get similar quality elsewhere. They cater mainly for plus size women (and men).

Snag tights are fabulous. I don’t care about their principles and politics. I would choose black for your outfit. I have them in just about every colour. They fit my huge arse and long legs, they wash well and are virtually indestructible.

Snag tights are the best. I don't care if men wear them or that they are 'captured' tbh. I'd choose black I think.

I think Better Tights are far superior in quality.

But at size 12, just buy a pack from Marks.

I'd go low dernier black ones. If you didn't want Snag then better tights are also good

I have black ones and they have lasted for years!!

I used to love snag tights. But the quality has gone down. Nearly all of mine have a hole where they've snagged (excuse the pun) on the zip on my boots. My old ones didn't do this.

So in short, you would recommend them.

Better tights are much better quality. I was casting about for alternatives when Snag started with their ridiculous fetish stuff, and was glad I did as Better fit better and last longer.

Worse tights I’ve ever worn, and pricey at that!
Only tights I’ve ever had that get random holes in them, and they wear thin between the thighs really quickly.
My favourite opaques are the John Lewis 60denier that I can pick up in Waitrose and look as good as new year after year.

I prefer Better Tights. Snag used to be great and I have pairs that are about 6 years old still going strong. Of my most recent orders, two pairs the crotch started heading to my knees and pulling my pants down with them (although the waist was huge and pulled up over my boobs!) and two pairs that fit better, went through on the toes on the first wear.

I love snag tights. You cud get black with glitter or a design. They are quite dressy and uplift an outfit.

Thanks everyone, I’ll check out better tights- I’ve not heard of them before.

Definitely Better Tights! They have good sales too.
