What size tights to wear when I have very long legs?
I have a 37" inseam and am pretty thin (26 or 27-inch waist, depending). I would really like to find tights that fit me, but I’m pretty sure that even when a store says that their tights are "tall" sized, they mean people with a 34" or 35" inseam. I’m aware that my legs are insanely and annoyingly long.
So I’m wondering what the best size to buy tights in might be. Also, could I maybe get plus-sized tights, or are those made larger around, not just stretchier?
The last time I bought tights, I bought them a size up from what the back of the box said I should be wearing (I’m 5′8 and 120 lbs), and the crotch still went very close to my knees.
I am your same height and weight. I had the same problem growing up. You need tall length stockings/tights. Try getting your tights from this site.They specialize in tall girls/womens clothing and accessories. It is a British company, but they ship to the U.S

Also, Target has tall length stockings and tights. It’ll say "tall" on the package…just look on the back to make sure their measurments fit your other measurements like waist. Though, I wear a small/medium Tall!!

i have the exact same problem but worse!
i am 14 years old and 5′9
my legs are over 110cm long and i have to wear tights/stockings to school everyday!
i have found some that are really good and even have extra room.
i find that tights that are really stretchy do that.
i also have the same problem with jeans and i still haven’t found a pair that will fit a size 8-10 waist with length to my ankles.
