Plese justify £20 tights to us
I'm not being sarky, I genuinely want to know if they're better than normal tights.

Maybe they come with eye-holes already cut into them so you can do a bank-job on the way home?

Well, you'd have to, wouldn't you
If you wanted more insanely expensive hosiery

I will never pay £20 for a pair of tights.
Not even if they have sparkly bits. They ladder too easily.

tbh
it is virtually impossible to ladder wolfords, they really are worth the money because you can wear them many times, whereas a £5 pair probably lasts 2 or 3 times before getting manky. i only managed it this morning because i caught them on a nail and ripped them.

Yeah, but if I did that to a £20 pair of tights, I'd be properly devastated, especially if I really liked them
Whereas multipacks from Primark, I don't care what happens to them.

i usually compromise
and get something like m&s autograph, which last really well and are about £4 - £10.

the wolfords were a bit of a treat from an outlet mall in the states; i bought about 20 pairs of fancy tights that should all have been about $300 for about 80% off. i have another pair that i haven't worn yet which have swarovski crystals all up the back; they look amazing. but they should have been about $1,000. seriously. WHO would pay that? but clearly people do, or they wouldn't make them!

They do sound like awesome tights though
Wouldn't buy them though because not one pair of tights I have has survived. I even laddered my brandnew charcoal grey ones after five minutes :(
