Tights, stockings...

Peter Gray2 said:Hey everyone, where can I pick up some decent toeless tights? I heard they might have some at Nama, but I’d love to get some firsthand advice if you guys know where the good 🙂
are.

They actually had some at Walmart recently for $8.25. Personally, I think they're great—finally found a size that actually fits my height properly.

I spotted them at the Victoria's Secret outlet too, so they probably have them in a regular store somewhere. And yeah, they really are super comfy. 🙂 They were about 19 and $9.75, though I can't remember the exact price off the top of my head. They definitely aren't more than that.

Hey everyone—quick question for the group! Does anyone know where I can pick up some basic, thin strap tank tops? I’m looking for something super simple, nothing fancy—definitely not those flashy, glittery ones you see performers wearing, and honestly, nothing too frilly or "girly" either. I just want something plain and functional, you know? Any suggestions? 😁😁

Sweet, I'll definitely go look for them then, thanks! 🙂

Roger Lee9, what kind of skin tones are we talking about? The ones I saw at Target were fantastic—they feel a bit thicker than 10 denier, but they have such a natural, matte finish that it’s just heaven 😍 Oh, and they go for $1.25 😬

I'm on the hunt for something a bit more low-key—maybe a natural goat color? I really want them to be subtle enough that people barely even notice I'm wearing them 😁 for a fancy dress
I don't have a Walmart around here—does anyone know if they have anything decent at CVS??

Does anyone know where I can find some Kika in town? I've got about $10 enough for those thick tights, the
ones.

Hey everyone.... I’m not sure if this has come up here yet—and honestly, I don't want to scroll through everything right now—but I could really use some advice. Basically, I’m not a big fan of wearing tights, and I usually avoid buying them altogether. But since I’m planning on wearing a dress for the holidays, it doesn't seem very smart to just go with bare legs given the weather lately. 😁 So, I ended up picking up some skin-toned tights, I think they were 10 denier? The issue is that my dress is pretty thin, and even though I don't have much of a waistline, they keep digging into my hips and it looks terrible... so, maybe you guys have some tips on what I should look for instead? Something thinner and skin-colored that won't do that? 🙂 Thanks a ton 🙂

Ugh, starting from the 10th... they’re going to rip right through you. And those are barely even "summer" weight. Honestly, grab the 20 denier ones at least. You'll actually have options in decent colors. I know Pompeo has those styles with a wider top part so they don't dig in—you can find Pompeo at Kroger or Kraft Heinz. Maybe there's a Victoria's Secret near you? Or check Polzela; they always label them when the top is wider.
Sure, you could always just buy some shapewear that cinches from under your bust down to your hips, but please, don't waste your money on that...

Anyway, ladies, if you usually wear thick tights without any patterns, these 20 deniers are $8.25 whatever you need, and they basically last for years. They aren't made with Lycra, obviously:

Can anyone tell me where I can actually find some super thick wool tights—you know, the ones with that heavy cable knit look?

Hmm... Kika? Marketplace?

Takku, H&M

Ugh, everything at H&M is just so thin—like, seriously? I’ll have to go check out Kika or Takku instead 🙂

I deal with those exact same issues myself, but I actually found a fix: just take a pair of control top tights and make some small cuts in the waistband with scissors. The key is that you shouldn't cut into the actual sheer fabric; the cuts need to stay within the waistband area. For instance, if that thick band at the top is about an inch wide, feel free to cut about half an inch into that band. You can make as many little slits in the waistband as you need. Don't just hack ten notches in all at once—try making three first, then add them one by one until it feels right.

That way, the tights aren't actually torn, they still hold firmly at the waist, but they stop digging in so hard... I usually make small notches all the way around the waist, not just in the front, but around the sides and even the back too. Don't be afraid, you won't ruin them...

Oh my gosh, I just realized this is actually an old thread! Anyway, does anyone happen to know where I can find some thick black tights—but please, nothing with that fuzzy fleece lining on the inside 😁—without spending a fortune? 🙂 Thanks so much! 🙂

Hey there! My apologies if I’ve wandered into the wrong corner of the forum or if this isn't quite the right thread for this kind of thing.
I'm actually looking to pick up some used nylon tights—honestly, I don't care if they're a bit snagged or worn out, that's fine by me. If anyone happens to have some lying around that you no longer need, or if you might know of a spot where someone could actually track this stuff down, please shoot me a private message. Thanks!

Just so I don't cause any confusion for anyone reading this—and before people start jumping to weird conclusions about why I'm asking—I'm actually working on a project here. What I really need is either one small pile of material that's all the exact same color, or perhaps two separate little piles where each one is a distinct, solid shade. Does anyone know if there's a spot where I could pick up something like that without breaking the bank? 🤷

Hey everyone
Does anyone have suggestions for tights that are completely sheer? I'm looking for something without any built-in panties or reinforced hip sections. Ideally, they'd have a nice gloss finish too🙂?

Ladies, has anyone here actually bought socks from Target lately? From what I’ve seen, the individual pairs are usually pretty pricey, starting at around $80-$30 or even more 😲 which just doesn't seem worth it to me... They have quite a selection so I didn't check everything, but does anyone know if there are cheaper options available, and more importantly, is the quality actually any good? 🙂

Who in New York City carries Falke socks? I usually just pick them up when I'm traveling—no clue where I'd even start looking around here... 🤷

Looking for tights with at least 20 denier. Needs to have that single line down the back and a high waist—ideally hitting about 5cm below the bust. Anyone know where I can find those?
Same goes for black ones if I wanted to go for that semi-sheer look (kind of like what they have at Victoria's Secret, but with the single line and higher waist)

It's urgent 🙂

I’ve got a bit of an issue here 🙄 I find myself constantly "playing games" with my shoes—especially flats. It’s like this unconscious habit where I’m always slipping them off at the heel, and honestly, it happens with my heels too. The end result is always the same: my socks get shredded at the heel. Does anyone know of any tougher, more durable pairs that won't fall apart immediately? I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one dealing with this little struggle...😛
