One of the supermarket giants in the UK which is Tesco has a clothing brand called F&F. For a while I’ve been buying my tights from M&S until my partner bought me a 3 pack pair of 60 denier black tights for my birthday last month. Those tights are awesome. They fit me, they are very comfortable and they last longer than the tights I got from M&S. I have been so impressed that I bought a 2 pack pair of black gloss 15 denier tights from Tesco to wear under my black fishnets and again they are very comfortable and fit me. Also my fishnets come off without sticking to the tights unlike the M&S tights. Highly recommended.

I agree. I have some 60 denier F&F tights as well and they last for ages, Great value for money! I only wear them in cold weather and under trousers, though, and after applying a thick layer of heavy moisturiser. A read that this is an excellent way to avoid my legs getting chapped as the tights prevent the moisturiser from rubbing off and that gives an intensive treatment. I the middle of winter, I do this every two or three days for a few hours at a time and it works really well.

As you may imagine, as I take so many pictures in the local Tescos, I am well aware of their hosiery section. I have quite a few of their thick winter tights in different muted colours and textures. Last summer I bought every shade of their standard 15d tights as an experiment to see if wearing beige colour tights would fit with my style. The cost was also a consideration since these tights came in boxes of 5 for £5, so a pound a pair, which is considerably cheaper than the normal bright colour tights and stockings I wear.
I have been happy with all of the tights I have bought except for a series of black 30d tights that bought. All of the pairs fell apart after 1 day of wearing and all failed in the crotch area.
So yes, Tescos get my seal of approval, if you want standard coloured tights at reasonable prices. For me, the store being in my village, they are a very useful source, as well as a useful place to take pictures.

That’s exactly the same problem I had too when I bought Tesco’s F&F black 30 denier tights. The crotch area developed a hole and a small hole and snags developed in the leg on the first day of wearing which is very disappointing as the rest of their tights are fantastic and last a long time.

I have not bought the 30 denier tights from Tesco so thanks for the warning. Have never had any problems with any other of their tights.
