The best mature woman tights for comfort and confidence

Snag Tights is home to tights for all shapes and sizes. You can find tights in sizes 4 to 36, in various heights, widths, colours and designs, and in 30 to 120 deniers. Each pair is designed to be stretchy, comfortable, breathable, and durable - no snags here!

The 50 denier tights, like those pictured, are great for the changing seasons and are semi-opaque. They come in four colours and allow you to have all the stretch and comfort of 80 deniers but in a lighter tight.

Customer review: "They don’t fall down, they actually fit!! I’m a large person in my 60s and I haven’t worn tights since my school days, for the sole reason none have fit properly. The colours and patterns are amazing. I’ve bought the chub rubs too and they are a lifesaver. Go for it you won’t be disappointed."

M&S is one of our go-to retailers for clothes, and that includes tights! This pair from Autograph is made of responsibly sourced fine cotton with 3D stretch and a 'Comfort Waistband' so it fits comfortably and securely. With feet and reinforced toes, they'll stay in place all day long and you shouldn't have to worry about your toes poking through the opaque material. Customers found these were true to size and soft to wear.

Customer review: "These are the best black tights I have ever worn: They are the only tights I have bought over the past decade. They don't scag easily, keep me warm in winter and cool in summer and feel great!"

If you'd feel more comfortable in tights that provide added control and shape around the tummy, waist, and hips, we'd recommend this pair from John Lewis. Perfect for shaping your silhouette whilst providing that little extra support around the waist, the wide-shaping waistband comes in a lustrous texture with a cotton gusset for comfort and hygiene. With 15 deniers, these will provide a sheer finish with a choice of colours; black, nude, natural tan, sable, and nearly black.

Customer review: "Great quality and fit. I bought these to go for an evening out. I was impressed with the shaped foot and reinforced toe. They stayed up well and added a lovely shimmer to my legs. Very impressed, shall be buying more."

Speaking of sheer, The Nude tights from Heist Studios come in seven colour shades so you can find a match for your skin tone. Perfect for creating a seamless, smooth, and silky leg finish. Made from a durable yarn, these tights come without a gusset to prevent sagging but have a wide adaptive waistband to comfortably hug your figure and stay in place.

Customer review: "Have been searching for ages to find these panties. They are the best, never ever want anything else. The high waist is fantastic, nothing to see under my dresses."

M&S deliver again in these Body Sensor tights that are not only fantastic value (three for the price of one!) but are great for wearing all year round. The technology in the fabric is designed to adapt to different temperatures so you can wear them in both hot and cold weather. Just like the Autograph pair of tights, these include a Comfort Waistband and cotton gusset. Get them in black, navy, or a trio of granite, purple, and green.

Customer review: "Brilliant fit, don’t slip down. Perfect for a dress & boots outfit. Enough coverage without being too thick. Will be buying another pack. I’m size 16/18 so I bought XL as I like to pull my tights up high!"

Not only do these tights provide a comfortable and supportive fit, but they're also designed to aid circulation. Featuring a factor 10 graduated compression, the lycra structure gives a massaging effect that'll leave your legs feeling revitalised. These are great if you're on your feet for long periods of time as they should help your legs feel less tired and reduce swollen ankles. These are available in black, navy, nearly black, nude, and natural tan.

Customer review: "Does what it says! I have used this product for many years now and have not found a different company that makes an equivalent product. They certainly help with my circulation throughout the day. The cost per pair is worth it for being able to stand on one's feet during most of the day."

Rated an average of 4.4 out of five stars from over 2,000 reviewers, these opaque tights tick a lot of boxes. They're soft, great value, and high-waisted. Plus, they're durable and stretchy, thanks to the 3D Spandex knitted into every row. We also love the vast colour range available with everything from black or navy, wine red or forest grey, to fuchsia and yellow.

Customer review: "Super soft, super comfy, not prickly at all like other tights, actually fit easy so get in no battle with them and look amazing! I highly rate this product and suggest everyone try a pair of this brand they are fabulous."

Wolford makes luxury legwear, so it's no surprise that the quality of its tights is exceptional. If you'd prefer a pair of footless tights to wear under a dress or paired with socks and boots in the winter, these have a luxurious velvet feel and a smooth, matte finish. They're highly durable, and feature a soft and comfortable knitted waistband with a cotton gusset.

Customer review: "Lightweight, soft & lovely quality. Great for wearing under dresses & skirts for outdoor dining!"

Spanx is well known for its shapewear, and you can achieve the same controlled and contoured feeling in its tights. Designed to sculpt your stomach and thighs, these opaque tights have a smooth waistband, cotton gusset, built-in shaper, and invisible seams. They'll create that smooth silhouette whilst still being comfortable to wear all day long.

For those that struggle to stay warm in the winter, these 100 denier tights made from a merino wool blend will keep you cosy and comfortable. They're luxuriously soft with added stretch and will give your legs that sleek appearance you're after, even with the thread density. They sit comfortably on the waist and customers found they both wore and washed really well.

Customer review: "Nice tights, warm but not too much. I bought these in a size up compared to last winter and these are just right! They don't snag or ladder like other tights I've had before."

If you are looking for tights to wear under a long skirt or jeans these wonderful knee high tights are a must have. They have a ribbed trim ensures they fit snugly at all times. These firm support knee highs give you an extra boost while energising legs, improving circulation and even reducing ankle swelling.

Customer review: "Have searched for ages for natural colour Knee Highs and these are perfect."
