I hate tights

Pittabre, 26 October, 2014 at 13:27 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 16

I read the leggings thread, as I wear leggings under dresses and skirts as opposed to tights as I HATE tights. But round here it is treated as inappropriate to wear leggings under dresses. So I was extremely grateful to read that others too hate tights. So who's with me? Down with tights!!!

    I hate them...but I still wear them almost every day, except in the height of summer. I just see them as a necessary evil.

    Am I the only person who likes tights?! I love wearing them in winter with a little skirt or dress & boots.

    I wear M&S 40 denier to work and don't even notice I'm wearing them.

    Ugh I hate them too. I have I wear tights for work with my skirt as uniform and it is hideously uncomfortable.

    I have 1 pair of tights that I've ever found comfortable and that's it. But I'm a trousers girl tbh. I have thunder-thighs that I don't like to have on show too much!

    I wear M&S ones too, but they're sooo expensive. I wore Primark ones for years and then they suddenly changed them and they didn't fit me anymore (I'm pretty sure my legs didn't get longer). But i like my legs and like wearing short(ish) dresses, I don't own any trousers at all. So tights it is. I currently only own four pairs and have to do a wash mid week or I have none left by Friday, which is fairly pathetic.

    Waves at Pittabre.

    I hate leggings as well. They all fall down on me and I spend my life hoiking them back up. I also find the only ones that fit me are large, as in can get up past my knees and all the way up to my crotchy region. I don't get it. I'm 5.2 and pre sprog I was size 10-12, and more a size 10.

    I realise I may need to pull them because they are too big but otherwise I can't get them past my thighs!

    I hate the bloody seam you get at the front which is visible through skirt or dress fabric. Errrrghhh.

    I always did hate tights until I started spending more and getting them from Next. Now, I wouldn't say I love tights but I find them quite tolerable.

    Oh I I wear both leggings & tights under dresses. Tights if I'm wearing shoes & leggings with boots. It does annoy me when the tights get all twisted.x

    I'm a stockings gal.....hold ups preferably as I can rarely get the length of the suspender clips to accommodate my short thighs. Sheer ones in the summer, thick black schoolgirl ones in the winter. H2B loves them.....can't think why ?

    I couldn't go bare legged, though - I have corned beef legs and scars from knee surgery etc that I am very self conscious about.

    I have quite a lot of scars on my left thigh and knee that I used to be self conscious about, but as I've got older I've just thought 'f*** it' and now I go bare legged all the time in hot weather and at clubs. I think having the tattoos on my legs helped though.

    I very rarely wear tights and I've never owned a pair of leggings. It's bare legs or trousers for me usually but the last couple of years I have started wearing dresses in winter with thick tights and boots.
