I was so happy when I went to M&S today

I get holes in my socks too - especially thin cool cotton ones. As for tights - only worn them twice in 5 years so not a problem these days! ?????. I wear leggings but not tights!

Socks and tights no longer have reinforced toes. I continually get holes in them.

My only criterion with socks is that they don't have a huge lumpy seam just across the toes. There are expensive socks that have it and cheap ones that don't. Next time I'm in the UK I shall check the M&S socks and pronounce my verdict.

Socks with no sizes given? I don't think I've ever seen any. That may be because some German women have large feet and no way could "one size fit all!"

continuation, back to thread! All my socks are jazzy, except for bowls. Love jazzy socks, and no bother with size, there is usually one missing, though, not sure how that happens.

Kitty changing the subject rather, not matter how I tie my left shoe lace (whatever shoes), it ALWAYS comes undone.

My complaint with all socks is that the one on my right foot always falls down!

grannypiper socks are surely a unisex item if you want them plain why not buy them from the men's section, unless you have smaller than size 6 feet.

grannypiper I quite agree. Looking on line in other places I have noticed that nightdresses hardly cover one's rear end as well as having sheep or whatever across the chest area. I want to be warm in bed- long gone are the other times!

Oh I love jazzy socks! After decades of having to wear plain dark socks under trousers for work, it is so liberating to have a drawer full of brightly coloured socks - not a boring black pair in sight

I was roaming through M&S today, gazing with loathing at some of the clothes and a nice girl came and asked if she could help me - she won't do that again She sais she would pass on my comments, and we all know how much good that will do. However I did buy two nice chunky necklaces and a rather striking coat in the sales last week.

Lazigirl....I got some too. They are lovely aren't they?

My biggest complaint with ladies socks is the patterns, why do they seem to be "jazzy" i just want plain, its a bit like pyjamas i dont want cute kittens, sheep or slogans on my clothes, i am a grown up now not a child

Yes I too have noticed that M&S have finally seen sense and now size their ladies socks........used to be only the men's ones????

I have size 6 feet. Which size socks should I go for...?

I went to M&S today, to help -give unwanted advice- DS buy a new jacket. I did like the range of mustard yellow items, so I'm going back when it quieter to have a good look.
