Tights for Mum

I have a confession. I own FIVE pairs of Abi & Joseph tights, in all lengths, colours and designs. I’m obsessed. I am short and size 12-14 and the size L fits me perfectly.

The cut, the material and the waistband on these tights feel so good on. They have great size pockets that don’t feel bulky, they don’t roll up at the leg or down at the waist and I LOVE the different designs they come out with. 

I’m wearing the Coloured Paisley Dual Pocket Full Length Tight here which are a touch long for my short legs (I’m only 165cms) so go for a 7/8 if you’re vertically challenged like me. My favourite are the mid thigh tights, especially coming into summer which are availble in some really great designs as well as plain colours if you’re not into colourful legs.

I also love that this brand have a really easy returns policy which is really important for online stores, they’ll even cover your return postage costs when you choose a credit or exchange so you can find the right size and fit for you.

Most of the KiA team have owned at least one pair of Active Truth tights, they’re THAT good. This time around Fleur (size M 175cms) and brand spanking new mum Ash (size L 165cm) gave the 7/8 smart pocket tights a try and of course, loved them. One word. POCKETS!

The fit of this brand is always good. They are snug to pull on and then fit like a glove. The high waist band keeps them in position & the material ensures they’re squat proof and great for post C-section tummy.

Active truth tights are a brand for all women, which is important to us. We love their philosophy, which embraces women of any size. Because, duh, women ARE any size. Fleur and Ash wore these tights running, at Pilates, gym and for hours of hanging washing on the line, rocking a baby to sleep and pushing the pram around. They honestly can’t be faulted.

Great tights for mums and soon to be mums. Check out their maternity tights if you’re pregnant!

The two most vertically challenged members of the KiA team tried two styles from Sydney based brand Run Faster. I’d actually never heard of these guys until now and more women need to know about this great brand who cater for a huge range of bodies in all shapes and sizes. Most of their range starts at XS and goes up to a 3XL which is fantastic. This is another brand who do a great print but they also nail the basic black.

Most styles come with pockets and have a very very good high waistband that goes up, and properly stays up. These are a bit thicker that some of the other brands which we both really liked. It’s moisture wicking (no sweaty bums) and no risk of seeing your undies through this fabric, even at full stretch! They are a firm hold, tight and stretch up to 500% so you may need to size down if you want a snug fit. These are really flattering, really comfortable in a great range of styles, colours and sizes.

They’ve also given us a special discount code for 10% off. Use “KIA10″ when you shop online. Hooray for Run Faster!
