About this deal

The different tiers of opaqueness around the thigh might peep under short hemmed clothes, limiting what you can pair these with. According to Keefe, some tights have a matte finish while others have a silk finish. "Tights with a silk finish will reflect light, giving them a bit of shine or shimmer (a great way to make a holiday look a little extra festive)," she explains.

In the tear test, the tights performed relatively well against velcro and jewelry, only showing a few minor runs. They did, however, finally rip when we pulled a finger nimble over it. To be fair, that is a literal knife cutting a hole into tights, so as long as you avoid sharp objects, the tights should last a long time. Some of our reviewers are very familiar with these tights — with a few of them saying they’ve owned this pair for over three years, which speaks volumes to their durability. When we put them to the test, we found that the rough velcro did cause some pilling on the fabric. That said, we didn’t spot any rips or runs, not even when we poked around with a handful of rings. While they are opaque, they don’t have that same luxe feel as the option above, but if you’re looking for sturdy, stretchy, warm tights, then these are it.jrllsls Heavenly tights; not sure about lifespan These tights are wonderful. My only reservation is how long they will last. There are signs of unravelling around the waistband, and they do snag. However, they are my favourite wardrobe item right now. Note on sustainability: If you also pay attention to sustainability when it comes to clothing, you should preferably use tights from 40 DEN. Even with careful handling and handwashing, models with a lower density are disposable products. Since most tights are not made of biodegradable materials, they represent an environmental burden. Glossy or matt: Which is better? Just by looking at these tights, you can immediately tell each aspect was created with intention and craftsmanship. First off, they’re made with 50 percent wool, making them extra soft and warm. (The other 50 percent is nylon, which gives them their stretch.) They also have a high opacity — only a tiny bit of skin shows when stretched out. Another stand out feature of the tights is how they conform to your body: The waistband self-adjusts to snuggly fit around your midsection without its shape when nicely stored away. In terms of sizing, they only come in three sizes, so we absolutely want to see the brand expand the range.

null Tights long enough to fit Giraffe. Bought same tights last year,reasonable fit. Bought them again this year far too big,not fit for purpose. We are here to help with the shopping fatigue and indecisions by breaking down the different denier tights and which works best for you, your outfit and how warm and protected you want your legs to be. What does 'denier' mean? Don’t immediately give up on your ripped tights! Sanchez has a way to give them a second life: By distressing them even further. “The 2023 runways were all about that torn up look, so go ahead and ravage your oldest pair with a few carefully placed rips and tears.” Some combat boots, a dress with frills, or a plaid skirt make excellent companions to distressed tights.One thing to note, however, is that these are pretty opaque rather than being sheer. Our tester specifically mentions that the name is a bit misleading, and she describes them more as “semi-sheer.” According to Sheertex, these tights are created with fibers that are “typically used in ballistics and climbing equipment.” In lay-person’s terms, they’re extremely rip-resistant, but we still wanted to put them to the test — and they passed with flying colors. Even after dragging rings, velcro, and sharp blades over them, there was not a rip or run in sight. “I would feel comfortable wearing these around my dog and doing multiple activities where my jewelry or bag could impact the fabric,” says our tester. Though they’re near bullet-proof, they’re still stretchy, though they require an extra tug to pull them over your legs.
