It's not often that a fashion brand emerges that makes shoppers think 'finally, someone understands'. British brand Snag started out with a mission to create tights that actually fit, and has since expanded far beyond just winter essentials.

Snag designs for real people, not a single standard size, and isn’t afraid to have fun with fashion. Buyers can expect bold colours, playful patterns and seasonal drops that go well beyond basic black.

Committed to sustainability, Snag uses recycled yarns, eco-friendly packaging, and focuses on making tights that last. With a devoted following, fans often find themselves curating a small collection of their favourite pieces.

Using a letter-based sizing system that considers height, clothing size and body shape, Snag tights offer a bespoke fit rather than simply being larger or longer. The brand also provides tips, such as sizing up if you're between sizes or have a fuller bum and tummy, to ensure tights fit comfortably and provide adequate coverage.

Snag has recently introduced a new line of tights and chub rub shorts, made from sustainable castor oil. Derived from a renewable crop that requires minimal resources, the oil is converted into a biodegradable, high-performance fibre called Nylon 11 – available in black, red, navy and grey, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Suitable for vegans, the Snag Castor Oil Tights are available in sizes A/B to G with a short F included in the range. At £14.99 a pair, one buyer simply called them "great tights, honestly" For warmer weather or nights out, the Castor Oil Chub Rub Shorts will give bare legs a glow up. Made from the same soft material, the £10.99 shorts stop the dreaded 'chub rub.'

As the winter chill approaches, a substantial, thicker pair of tights becomes a wardrobe staple. The Snag Merino Wool Tights retail for £17.99 and will do the job in keeping its wearer toasty for chillier days.

Another customer remarked: "I have a draw full of snag tights. I love the design the fit and the feel. I haven't never been so pleased."

A third reviewer stated: "Love love love all products they fit like a glove last a long time ,wash and dry perfectly. Price is right as well".

Despite the overwhelmingly positive response, one shopper observed: "Great colours, great fit. Unfortunately snagged within the first day. No fake nails or strenuous use, just out to dinner and shopping for shorts."

On the whole, purchasers appear delighted, with another five-star assessment declaring: "Excellent fit as always with smooth natural colour that means that they can be worn with your favourite dress in the autumn or winter."
