The clocks have gone back and the dark nights are with us again,so what are you girls wearing this winter to keep your legs warm?
Know any good brands of tights,both for quality and fit.
Were do you normally buy from?
To keep legs warm I'm changing from cropped linen trousers to full length ones, and from open toed birkenstocks to closed toe ones.
If it hits freezing I might add socks and a jumper. At about minus 5 I get the cost out of the wardrobe. Welcome to the world of menopause!
BTW i can't find tights that fit properly anyway, as I'm a 36 inside leg and they just drive me up the wall, so I refuse to wear them.

If it isn't, then I'm sorry, but is this post by some sort of fetishist?
I wear just about the same cloths summer and winter, i just add a warm short jacket....i go from house to car to work to supermarket back home...all have heat, my garage is heated too so cars always warm.

I buy my thick black tights from boots - expensive but the best! Natural tights from Primark...
I have some lovely boots this year that are like big socks with cord wrapped around them...very warm and very russian!
The tights I like the best are from John Lewis. They're called Bodyshaper. I'm 5'9'' so "one size" are no good for me - why are they called "one size", when one size only fit little legs?! They're a bit expensive at £3.50 per pair but they're worth every penny. And handled with care and hand washed, they last forever! :thumbsup:

Iv'e just treated myself to a pair of 70denier black opaque tights from boots and the fit and quality seem excellent :)
Iv'e never been a tights girl,prefering bare legs,and finding a brand that fits perfect is a nightmare....i'll see how this pair go :nod:

SO where do they do tights for tall people then? (about same height as Ellybum).....
they are always way too short n need constant re-adjusting!

Long Tall Sally do them by mail order- but I've not tried them personally cos I no longer need to wear a suit- yay!
Big sis wears them regularly though- and she's a 37 inside leg.
