High waist construction for tall women solves two problems at once. The waistband sits at the natural waist instead of the hip and the extra length means the tights actually reach your ankle. The reinforced toe keeps them durable through regular wear so they do not snag or thin out prematurely. The construction is opaque so you get complete coverage and the substantial weight means they hold their shape. High waist styling also creates a streamlined silhouette under dresses and skirts. These work under everything from casual outfits to dressier occasions. These are the high waist tall tights that finally give tall women tights that fit properly without improvisation.
