I LOVE these tights. I first bought a pair a couple of years ago from a small shop hundreds of miles from where I live - so when I inevitably put my thumb through them and made a huge hole I took to the google with a description 'multi coloured herring bone tights' - and what do you know? I found them here at Tights Tights Tights ... which I didn't even know existed! These tights are great for adding a bit of energy to a plain outfit, especially for smarter work events - I can still put my personality in through the tights. They wear and wash really well and my other pair would still be going if I hadn't thumbnailed them! My only thing I would love is if they came in a couple of sizes as I'm just on the edge of their wearability. My thighs are a good UK 14 (or if you want specifics my thighs are each 28" in circumference.) If you're any bigger than that don't buy them as the one size will not fit all!
