I found my new favorite opaque tights

Kari

I picked these up at Nordstrom a while back (DKNY Comfort Control Top Luxe Opaque Tights is what it says on the package) and just gave them a try this week. I LOVE them!

They are very soft, but the best part is that there is no waistband at the top. For a high-waisted girl like me, this is awesome because the control top is no longer pinching or rolling down during the day. It stays up and remains smooth.

I guess it might not seem like a huge deal, but this is the first truly fuss-proof pair of tights I've ever tried on, and I highly recommend them.

Kari - thanks so much for posting these! I absolutely hate the high waistband on things like this so will definitely give them a try! They seem more sheer than my other tights though - almost like hosiery from the picture. Is that how they are up close?

Just curious as I purchased the spanx tight-end tights in the reversible black/bittersweet & had to go down a size since I've lost weight over the summer so they seem to fit a little snugger & lower at the waist for me than I remember them fitting. However, they are a very thick solid color tight.

I don't have a Nordstrom close by so I'll need to see if I can find them at one of my local stores or else purchase on-line. How did the sizing run on them?

Thanks again!

I don't know - I just have the gray pair, they are kind of sheer, but I also sized up too (to "Tall") because I wanted them to be a bit more opaque. I found them on Amazon here in black and brown.

Hope they work on you!

Thanks Kari - I think I'm going to try them! I LOVE the spanx I have but they are full coverage tights & from looking at the pic's on your capsule wardrobe challenge it looks like these are a bit more sheer & will work for what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help! Nice style this week too!!

Thanks for the tip. I wish all tights came without a waistband! Given the advances in microfiber technology, a waistband seems obsolete.

Thanks for telling us about the no waistband tights. I love the DKNY tights I have bought in the past.

Ooh thanks for posting this! I'm really short so I always have to roll down the high waists on tights. >_< I'll have to give this a try!

You're very welcome! I agree - I don't know why more tights have this type of waistband. I just get sick of dealing with having a ridge at my natural waist that rolls down throughout the day with other types of tights. I was amazed at how well this pair stayed up. Hope they work as well for the rest of you if you try them.

Hooray! I'm so glad to hear they worked for you too. What color did you end up with? (You're very welcome BTW.)

I have a pair of these too. Divine! Glad you love them too, Kari. But they just don't come out as much as my patterns. I guess I'm on a huge texture kick at the moment.
