I know it is only the second day of autumn - but I am cold.
And yes, I am wearing black opaque tights which mean WINTER but.....
And this is a big BUT - they are Falke tights.
Before I continue I would like to say I hate tights.
I hate the itchiness on my legs, I hate the constriction of the waistband.
I hate the way my legs seem to encourage Norra Batty wrinkles in my tights.
But what I hate even more is the cold.
And if I have to wear tights then I am determined they will be the best.
I had noticed that every fashion spread I had seen recently featured Falke tights so I logged on to UK Tights and ordered a pair.
I nearly chickened out when I got to the checkout and realised how much (£13.65 incl p&p) I was spending on one pair of tights when I normally chuck them in the supermarket trolley.
But - and here's another but; they are worth every penny.
My legs feel like they are coated in warm velvet.
The waistband goes exactly where I need it to be and they are so comfortable.
And, if I wear them a couple of times a week for the next six months then they will be worth every penny.
Oh and another thing - I ordered them on Tuesday afternoon and they were here by 10am on Wednesday.
What's not to like?
I wore:
Skirt - Matalan
Shoes - Clarks
T-shirt - Primark
Cardigan - Tesco
Tights - UK Tights
Hi there-I'll be investing in more tights soon, so I might give Falke a go!!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Falke - at least they're cheaper than Walford!
ReplyDeleteThat's great, you found the perfect tights for you.
ReplyDeleteFalke products are great!
ReplyDeleteI hate tights too! Actually I cannot stand socks either! That's why I hate autumn/winter the most, because I have to keep my feet (and legs of course) warm! I might have a go at Falke too, although I'm a little bit worried about ruining them. I cannot wear tights more than once without snagging them! Thanks for the advice. Ciao. A.
ReplyDeletelove the skirt!
ReplyDeletein tights- for myself, I like the fact that they slim the look of legs.
That is service! I have decided that I am going to buy good tights this year!
ReplyDeleteTights can be rough for me too...must find stateside version of UK Tights....
ReplyDeleteIt is such a delight to find something that fits perfectly isn't it? I like your "working" photo.
ReplyDeleteDarla
now THAT'S fast delivery! you look like me in that last picture-multi-tasking!
ReplyDeleteI'm cold too... everyone keeps getting bored of me telling them round here.
ReplyDeleteI quite like the feeling of tights, apart from the waistband bit, you're right there.
These sound like the 'must have' tights, I may have to try them out, although you'll have to let us know how they fair, I am prone to holing my tights most days so these would be too expensive for me to replace everyday!
I love my Falke tights too! You should also check out the Danish brand MP; they also make excellent quality, comfy tights that are well worth the investment.
ReplyDeleteI love tights... they make the winter so much better!
ReplyDeleteYou look so fun, I love your red shoes with the tights.
ReplyDeleteI'm usually a cheap tights buyer too, but I love the feeling of a brand new pair. (Was it Bruce Willis who wore each pair of socks once and then gave them to charity??)
I have never tried that brand - I am not sure if they are sold in the US - but I'm starting to think that slightly expensive tights are worth it if they genuinely last a long time. I've invested in Oroblu microfishnet tights after hearing how long they last.
ReplyDeleteThen again, the most long-lasting pair I ever had was a diamond-patterned pair from Boots that I got on a UK trip for £5 each, so who knows...
I like Wolford´s. Black 66 den. Also 80 den. Both are great. The best!
