Don’t Try to Sell Me Your One-Size-Fits-All Tights
Urban Outfittters: “One-size” tights are a terrible idea and you certainly shouldn’t be selling them for $20. I have some $4 ones from Old Navy and they sag and it’s not only just weird, it’s uncomfortable and makes me feel like I’m wearing a diaper. So I’m not going to buy your more expensive tights even if they’re really cute. Here’s what our good friend Elizabeth, a fashion design student at FIT, has to say about the subject:
Meatloafing: honestly, would you buy that shit?
Elizabeth: one size fits all?
Elizabeth: depends. sometimes, yes.
Elizabeth: if i need something at that moment
Meatloafing: these were textured bleu. and like $20
Elizabeth: then i try to pull those fuckers up and not get that terrible sagging crotch
Meatloafing: yeah. but in a perfect world, they wouldn’t exist, right?
Elizabeth: one size fits me is a perfect world
Elizabeth: i got a great pair for $10
Elizabeth: better than the $$$ ones i got at barneys
Elizabeth: they were “sock” like–warm, stretchy
Meatloafing: these were socky too
Meatloafing: but still i feared the sag
Elizabeth: no saggy crotch on the ones i got
Meatloafing: anyway it pissed me off

Century 21 has a pretty decent selection of discounted designer tights including the $10 Armani pair I’m sporting today. The downside: you have to fight through the Euro tourists shopping our “America 50% Off Because of a Crappy Economy Sale”

the merona brand stocked at target is what i usually get and they’re pretty awesome… huge selection of styles and several wears are possible. $5.99/each. and they have sizes to choose from.
