When UK tights offered to send me some tights in exchange for a review, I was more than happy to accept. If you’ve read my blog for a few months or more, you’ve probably noticed that I wear tights most of the time. I’m a skirt and dress kinda girl – so I’ll wear tights on a daily basis unless it’s really warm, or I’m on a night out. Let’s consider the facts:
- I live in England.
- I’m heading towards my dirty thirties.
Therefore it’s never warm and I don’t night club anymore. Cuz I’m cold and old.
Anyway, I love all tights. Coloured ones, patterned ones, thick ones and thin ones. Tall ones and small ones and black ones and white ones.
Halloween is right around the corner – I don’t know about you, but every fancy dress costume I buy seems to lack the tights that the model is wearing in the picture. False advertising. They should at least give the option to include the tights for an extra few quid, as I never seem to be able to find the perfect ones to go with!
Halloween Tights
Luckily for me, UK tights have a Halloween section. There is a selection of reasonably priced tights to go with most costumes, from cutesy black cat prints to orange and black stripes, to sexy style cobweb prints.
I picked out two pairs from the Halloween section, with the intention of wearing the pumpkin ones with a pumpkin costumes I’ve ordered.
I also ordered a pair with purple spiders on. Perfect for a witch costume, or just a bit of Halloween fun with a normal outfit, if you’re not into dressing up.
The halloween section wasn’t the only section that caught my attention. There’s more than 26,000 types of tights on UK tights. I’m a little surprised I’ve not heard of them before.
I look at some of the other sections and picked a further four items.
The prices range from £1.25 a pair up until around £50 a pair. The types of patterns, colours, thickness, shape vary too much for me to go into too much detail here. Go check out UK tights for yourself!
I love these halloween tights. I’m hoping that they’ll have a Christmas section!
Those halloween tights are amazing! I also wear tights pretty much every day so up to £50 a pair sounds a bit much for something I’ll definitely put holes in but the lower ones definitely seem like a nice change from boring black primark tights! 🙂
Yeah – that’s the only thing. They are lovely but there’s nothing worse than a ladder!
Cold and old. Very poetic. I like thick woolly tights they’re so comfy.

Aw I love the pumpkin ones! Really good value as well x
I love all of these! Especially your pumpkin ones and the opaque forest green ones – perfect for Autumn 🙂

Green is the best!
I love the purple ones! And the plain green ones too, they would go so well with an every day outfit 🙂

Great post!
One of the best reviews we’ve ever had. I personally see myself in your description of cold and old, as I’m getting dangerously close to the 30s. You aren’t alone!
We actually have tights up to £200. Many people buy tights around £25 because they’re much more comfortable and they last longer. If you want to treat yourself (e.g. Christmas), try Wolford, Falke, Pierre Mantoux, Fogal or Kunert. They’re the highest quality and you feel it even since you open the package.
Thanks for your review! If you want to read more about Halloween, we’ve a few posts about it in http://www.uktights.com/blog
Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed the review 🙂
All of those tight rocks I will not mind sporty great post.
Cool Halloween tights! I need some inspiration, because I am planning on going Halloween clubbing (eek)

I love Halloween clubbing, I think. I’ve not been for a few years!
WOW – I love the pumpkin ones!
cold and old hahahah
I love the spider ones. I hardly wear tights any more as I get really uncomfortable in them, and always seem to get ladders!! UGH. It’s a shame because I need to think up an alternative now that the weather is…shit.

Just do it! It’s better than stupid jeans.
Ooh I love those Halloween tights! You’ve reminded me of a pair of skeleton tights I own, gonna pull ’em out for Halloween now!
Cute!! I’m trying to find opaque black ones with white pokadots, might need to check this site out and see if they have any 🙂 And a pumpkin costume! Great idea. I’m scrambling any brilliant suggestions??
Hi Ursula,
We have these polka dots
http://www.uktights.com/product/2924/tiffany-quinn-polka-dot-tights but we have run out of the black tights with polka dots. The ones I’ve found are these:

Let me know if you need anything.
Cheers

I wear tights almost all the time through winter but having interesting and non granny ones is important. I will have to have a look at what they have as a website dedicated just to tights sounds wonderful Lucy x
Pop us a message on Twitter or Facebook if you need any help at all. Cheers!
I think those are absolutely adorable! I love the prints. I would rock them.

Omg these Halloween tights rock. The pumpkin one & the spider one are especially fantastic. This definitely gets me in the spirit. :] //
I love the pumpkin tights! I need to add to my tights collection I think! x
Do it, Laura!
Those tights are so fun!!

The pumpkin ones are so sweet for Halloween! I love those floral ones too. I wear tights often too since it’s always freezing here in Maine and wear mostly dresses and skirts too 🙂
Amazing tights !! The first one with pumpkin is perfect !
I love Halloween 🙂
I LOVE the opaque green ones!

Thanks you :* love your post! 🙂 marta-kaa.blogspot.com
Perpetually cold is a description of my life. I really do love all the tights though, I just need to convince myself to wear skirts and dresses more (and for the wind in Bolton to be a little less dangerous, I can’t quite pull off dramatic Marilyn moments…)
Hi Katie, we’re also in the North West, so we know what cold is!
I personally go for over 100 denier tights. Sometimes even socks on at the same time.
We have just added these tights into our web. That would be a good choice not to freeze in December and they’re quite affordable. http://www.uktights.com/product/4037/pretty-polly-300-denier-marl-fleecy-opaque-tights
Pop me a message if you want further info. Cheers!
Oh man. I hate the wind. It’s the worth type of weather type!
Oooh such fun tights! I love the ones with the pumpkins and the ones with the spiders! Classic halloween theme 🙂
Don’t going to lie, I do love the look of these. Except maybe the spider ones, I can imagine they would cause a few scares after a drink!!

Haha, I hope not. I’m terrified of stupid spiders.

Hahah I love these tights, they’re so festive. And your sentence: “I’m cold and old”– pretty much describes me, except I live in LA so I’m pretty much hot and old… 😉
Hot and old is better, I think 😉
Those are absolutely adorable! I love tights, but i especially love those pumpkin ones! haha
I love your blog! I just followed 🙂
