I’m a fashion writer and this is where I get tights that don’t rip or ladder

You can rest assured these tights won’t snag and ladder easily - (Daisy Lester/The Independent)

We’ve all been there: you’ve decided on an outfit and added the final touches to your make-up, only to leave the house with your tights ripping within minutes.

Ripped tights from Primark were a right of passage at university and a signature of my girls group on a student nights out. But while you can get away with it in the messiness of your early 20’s, it’s less appealing when you’re nearing 30-years-old with ladders in the office.
