In terms of sizing, they only come in three sizes, so we absolutely want to see the brand expand the range.

What made the Spanx Tight-End Tights land our Best Overall spot lies majorly in their comfort and durability. Right as we pulled these on, we were impressed with how soft and stretchy they felt, and how smoothly they glided over legs. The waistband lands slightly above the waistline with an exceptionally comfortable stretch. “These definitely feel like a luxe pair of tights,” our tester says. p>Please include attribution to truly-fab.com with this graphic.

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. 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.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. Hon Warm Warm, fully opaque. Exlarge for size 16 but too long for 163cm height. I missed the stretch of regular higher lyrca tights but I was warm and cosy outside in a 4degrees day.

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.

If you’re looking for a little extra support, Spanx Tummy Shaping Tights are one of the best options available. While they’re not high-waisted, they sit right above the belly button and smooth out your tummy without feeling uncomfortable. Because of the shaping abilities, they’re also extremely durable. As a matter of fact, they're probably the second most durable option on this list, next to our best rip-resistant tights (below). No velcro, jewelry, or nails were able to create visible harm to the fabric. 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.” 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? However, if you want to draw attention to your legs, you should go for glossy hosiery. These tights make your legs look as if you have oiled yourself after depilation – at least in the nude version. They emphasize your curves and leg muscles and are perfect if you want to feel sexy. On the other hand, if you don’t like the completely matte or very shiny look, you should go for tights with a satin finish: This version both conceals and emphasizes at the same time. 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.
