Cheap tights.

Hi, thought I'd come and utilise your expertise. :money:

I'm looking to stock up on cheap fashion tights. I am happy with the cheapy ones from matalan/asda for the plain black etc, but i'm really struggling to find realistically priced coloured/patterned tights. The best I have found so far is £3 for 1 pair in Asda. Can this be beaten, or am I just being unrealistic?

Thanks in advance.

    The Peacocks sale has some cheaper tights, but it depends what stock each store has left

  • I always think it's sad that you pay a couple of pounds for one pair of tights only to come back home with a ladder in them once they've been worn! It goes for all tights of various prices :(! For the cheap material they're made of and for all they're worth they should cost pennies in my opinion.

    Primark are brilliant, they do loads of colours and tumble dry too (which obviously I don't do because it's bad for them).

    Thanks! I'll have to take a deep breath and go into primark so it seems. Why oh why can't you buy online?!

    Heart Shaped Diamond- that's what galls me about it all! If they lasted more than a couple of wears I wouldn't mind so much!
  • Another vote for Primark! I have also managed to get some lovely Pretty Polly ones on Ebay for about £2 a pair inc postage - purple animal print, etc.
