Where are the tights for taller gals?

Title basically!! Where are we going for good tights these days, especially for the taller gals about 6 foot?
All of mine have died on me x

Snag!

Snag are pretty much the only ones that fit me, I'm an unfortunate combo of on the taller side (5"8), fat and big feet 😂😭 so tights normally never fit me. Also my husband is 6"2 and also has some extra padding and he borrowed a pair of my tights for a costume and said they were very comfortable lol.

You say big feet, what size are we talking? It's not a fetish, I have 10's and would like some little heels but can't find any that aren't stupidly expensive
Vickyinredditland@reddit
I'm a 10, and same, but I can't walk in heels anyway 😭 Sorry, I have some platforms from koi, but other than that finding ladies shoes that fit is a struggle.

Not sure if they still do, Evans used to have niceish 10's and also wide, I had a fair amount of heels and boots from them.
Long Tall Sally is usually the go to place or used to.
It's been a while since I bought shoes which aren't trainers.

That's fine. The struggle is real. I can only wear kitten heels at most. I used to get them from hotter but their sizes have changed.

I wish snag tights had better options for lanky gals (me). I need an XS for my waist size but L for my height, which leaves me in a predicament where they’re either way too short at the crotch or if I go large I’ve got loads of baggy material around my knees and ankles.

All my tights are snag these days. I'm 5'11 and fat and they're just still comfy.
fussyfella@reddit
My wife swears by Snags.

Who knows but I have the opposite problem - im short and dumpy snd tights and leggings have far too much rise ending up at my boobs when I only want them around my hips !
Bubbly-Tank-6286@reddit
Again, snag tights are for you
spinningdice@reddit
Hmm, snag's do tend to intentionally be designed to pull up to your boobs (sometimes depending on your body shape), so maybe not if they don't like that?
LichenTheMood@reddit
You can leave them at the hip or waist.

In case you're like me and find snag really uncomfortable, Heist are great! I'm 5 foot 11 and their high waisted tights come up to my bra. Unfortunately horribly pricey so a treat, but fantastic.

M and S
Normal-Internal164@reddit
Agreed
klymers@reddit
Snag or Better tights. I just pick which one to order from based on offers or if I'm after a specific style.
Bitter_End_5643@reddit
Snag Tights online
Normal-Internal164@reddit
M&S XL. I swear by the 30 den
General-Bumblebee180@reddit
same. i get the biggest size they have so i can stretch them up longer
justdont7133@reddit
I'm 5'10 with long legs and love Popsy tights, they're really high waisted and comfy to wear, and don't ride down as you walk
Violet351@reddit
Snag. They do several different sizes. You use your height and dress size and then they tell you which size is best on the chart

I like Better tights - similar to snag but the quality is more consistent in my opinion!
Their range seems a bit more “basic” but it’s very good quality.
I don’t even entertain other tights now.
JamandMarma@reddit
Snag is the answer no matter the body type
Gaimes4me@reddit
snag tights. Great selection, reasonable price.
Etheria_system@reddit
Snag is always the answer! Good for tall people and plus size people. Good for short people and skinny people. They’re really made for all sizes.
jilljd38@reddit
Snag mine are about 5 years old now and still look brand new
thesuitseller@reddit (OP)
Thanks everyone 💛
leelee90210@reddit
SNAG. Yes. It’s been said 100 times here but they are solidly the BEST. Check out vinted as loads of people sell brand new ones there for cheaper
bobmbface@reddit
Falke, pricey but last forever
Least_Temperature_23@reddit
Snag. 100%.
bluebellwould@reddit
Snag are great.
I know Long Tall Sally do them too but I have never tried theirs.
MrHotfootJackson@reddit
Better Tights are fab for your basic blacks and similar styles. Great value and last well.
Snag are good, but the quality took a real nose dive a few years ago, and whilst still good and having an awesome range of colours of styles, I personally only buy them when there's a sale or off one of the resale groups on FB. People tend to stockpile, so it works out well on the groups, as I've managed to pick up sold out or discontinued styles unused and still in the packaging for a reasonable price.

Snag tights, amazing
