Buying Tights

I always buy tights in a larger size than I am though they are still not comfortable and not worn often. I don't know anywhere selling them in extra large sizes. For the very cold weather I wear leggings under trousers with two pairs of socks.

I too prefer thin leggings to tights. If I do need tights I go to M n S. I did try Primark but they came up to my armpits!

I don't buy tights any more, I am like you a larger lady. I find that they grab me in places that are better left alone and if I do manage to fight my way into a pair they end up with wrinkles like Norah Batty. I usually where a longer skirt and knee high socks but have bought some leggings and they can be worn under a thicker skirt with ankle boots and they look fine. Sorry I cannot say where to find ones that would fit without a fight!

I haven't bought tights for years, justnoneed. The last ones I had were from a supermarket. I buy medium, but these would have fit a giant, as they were too long. I looked like Norah Batty!! I also still have a pair of thick patterned tights that I bought in a local clothes shop and they have a short body. Perhaps they are supposed to be hipsters, but they are uncomfortable and I keep tugging them up.
