I bought the most boring tights possible from Snag Tights.
Well, hello guys! It’s been a while, right? How are we all doing these days? With the world continuing to implode and a work change, I’ve honestly just not had the energy to do a blog. However, spring is springing and the sun’s started showing it’s face, so this guy’s finally coming out of depression hibernation! So to ease back into the whole ~fashion blogger~ thing; today I’m styling up some Snag Tights Basics!
So it finally happened — my Snags finally gave up the ghost after two years of consistent wear, and I was getting tired of editing out the snags (no pun intended) and holes. Yeah, I wear things until they literally fall apart — you can take the girl out of poverty, but you can’t tell her to replace tights regularly!
You guys know I love me some Snags. When I found them in late 2018, I was super excited to see a company run by a plus sized person who actually knew the annoyance of ill-fitting tights well. And they’re a small company that has absolutely exploded since they came onto the scene! I’ve been lucky to work with them a few times, but since I also buy from them regularly (including this time) I can 100% recommend them to anyone.
Black 80 Denier
If you wear black tights regularly — these are the ones. They’re just the ones. Gets you through the majority of the cold weather without being too warm, hard wearing and the likelihood of having to constantly readjust them is virtually 0. I actually bought 3 pairs of these because I wear them so often, and they’re mostly indestructible. The ladders on my previous pairs were mostly from getting caught on actual metal nails and various trees and brambles — acrylic nails and the odd jagged toenail (we’ve all been there) can’t hurt these bad boys.
Black 120 Denier
These babies are so warm that I can wear mini skirts when it’s snowing. That’s pretty damn good, in my books. And yeah, that’s all I have to say.
Vanilla Marshmallow 30 Denier
I’m a pallid sort of gal. We don’t know why I’m so pale (my family can actually tan, I just burn to a crisp), but here we are. My legs are basically see-through, and there’s never been a pair of sheer/skintone tights that haven’t looked orange on me. Vanilla Marshmallow is almost perfect to my skin tone, evens out blemishes and protects these pins from freezing off when shooting for spring/summer in the dead of winter!
Mock Garters
Do you love the look of stockings and garters? Did you give up on them a long time ago because they’re uncomfortable, move around too much and don’t do a damn thing for chub rub? Dude, SAME. As a lover of vintage, I’ve got an entire drawer of stockings from a whole host of brands and none of them fit my thunder thighs, sit high enough on the thigh and just aren’t practical. But these? Comfort. Ease. Chub-rub preventing. Sexy. As. Fuck. My god, I love them. You need to buy a pair or five. I need to buy another pair or five. They’re so fucking worth it.
Also, they sit smoothly under a pencil skirt without suspender clips showing through your clothes, so it’s great for some stealth sexiness. Can they be considered Snag Tights basics? Yes. Because they will make your life better.
What’s your favourite style? And what would your Snag Tights Basics be?
