Tights makers seem to show the height of indifference to tall women as many ignore the fact completely that some long-legged women are around six feet tall and regular tights are just not long enough for them.
TightsPlease (www.tightsplease.co.uk) have put their best foot forward for tall women by collecting tights in different colours, deniers and styles from several manufacturers in their online shop.
Tightsplease consider women over 5′ 9″ as tall – and they even stock some hosiery that will match the leg length of women who are over six feet tall.
The two top brands for tall women are Chamos and Levante - and TightsPlease stock both in sheer, opaque and fishnet hold-ups in several colours for tall women that are great for work or going out. Look for Tall/X Tall/XX Tall tights in the online shop.
The X Tall and XX Tall sizes in Levante are suitable for heights of up to 6’1”. Charnos provide tights for those up to 6’0″.
Besides the usual natural, tan and black – a couple of the ranges come with stunning red, blue and purple.
Thanks to Tightsplease, tall women can step out in style knowing that their tights not only fit but make their legs look great.
Don’t forget to check the sizing tab in the web shop to make double sure that the product will fit you.
The product page may say that the tights will fit extra tall women, but you must check what that specific manufacturer considers extra tall before you order.
You may also find that if you are less than 5″9″ tall but have long legs, you might want to consider looking at the options for taller women as they may fit better.
If you are a dedicated follower of fashion, check out the celebrity page and steal the style of your favourite celeb – for instance pop diva Lady GaGa, TV’s Fern Britton and some of the girls from the recent St Trinian’s film are all pictured in Chamos or Levante tights.
