We Love Colors review

I firstly want to say that although these tights were not perfect for me I don’t think they were horrible either.

I want to share my initial thoughts about the plus size tights from We Love Colors. I was actually going to pick up a pair for my sister’s wedding but I decided to ask if they’d be willing to send me a sample to review and yay, they did!

I’ve heard really good things about the Nylon/Lycra plus size tights and , so I chose the cream colored. They were nice and tossed in a second pair too, in tan which is great because who doesn’t need a second pair? – I know boring colors but they were for a wedding! I plan to purchase a few fun colored ones in the future.

I know I promised pictures of me wearing the tights, but alas they ripped - :( boo! But just from trying these on, I will say that I’m impressed and I think they’re worth the $15. Just make sure you order the right size to be safe.

We Love Colors offers these tights in 51 different colors. Yes, you read that right - 51 different shades of tights. Need a pair of bright red tights? They have them. Neon pink? Yup. Just about any shade you’ll ever need or want, they have it. They offer the same colors in a footless style as well.

But for me, the impressive part is the fabrication. I haven’t worn tights in years because I could never bring myself to yank on a pair of itchy, ill-fitting tights. These are soft like a very, very thin cotton legging. They’re obviously not cotton but oh, are they soft. The smoothness of the nylon actually surprised me when I took them out of the package.

The Nylon/Lycra plus size tights tights fit up to 375 pounds/6 feet tall, which makes me extra super happy. I love when a company carries an extended range of sizes, especially in such a specific product like brightly hued tights. You can see the full range of plus size items that they offer here. Note that only some of the products are available in extended plus sizes.

Even though my review pair tore I still plan to order from them in the future. I’m looking into a pair of the footless tights, too.

Thanks to We Love Colors for the samples! You can follow them on Twitter here and make sure to fan them on Facebook here.
