Their 120denier tights are great! Another choice is H&amp;M but they're not as opaque... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1063850 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 06:28:55 +0000 Greyscale 1063850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Commandos have a big wide waistband that is the most comfortable waist I've ever seen on tights. Instead of elastic, it's a wide band of slightly thicker knit. I hate tight things on my tummy. </p> <p>They do go up rather high on the waist, by necessity. </p> <p>They're also $30 instead of $10... But writing this made me realize how much more I like them. I need new tights so I think the next will be commando! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1063356 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 21:47:24 +0000 lisaflex 1063356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i happen to love my spanx!!! wonderful. yes, a bit high waisted, but, they get the job done, warm, hold ya in where ya need it (at least for me that is) and opaque. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1062910 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 14:43:20 +0000 Freckles 1062910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale what is the difference between Commando and Hue?</p> <p>Glory I got my cashmere sweaters at The Bay. &nbsp;They are having their Bay Days right now so they are a good price at 40% off. &nbsp;I saw the most amazing tunic. &nbsp;Everything was perfect except the short, wide scoop neck so it stayed there. &nbsp;Sigh. &nbsp;That one is hidden away and not on the web... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1062821 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 13:36:09 +0000 Greyscale 1062821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate control tops too. I'm glad I'm not the only one! I love the Hue non-control tops. There's a sock store near me that carries them, luckily. And I have one pair of Commando tights and they are amazing. If I find myself wearing tights a lot this winter I'll splurge on another pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1062814 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 13:25:25 +0000 Glory 1062814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Freckles where did you buy your cashmeres? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1062464 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 01:42:29 +0000 xANGELy 1062464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on board with Emily, Ricki's plush lined tights are great.

This would add to the opaqueness and also adds warmth. If both pairs are not control top they should be comfortable enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1061531 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 01:42:16 +0000 Emily 1061531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How'd it go, Freckles? &nbsp;Any luck?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1061524 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 01:39:34 +0000 Joyce B 1061524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also hate the control top ones, they are very uncomfortable. Like Gryffin, I like Hue. Some are opaque and some are super opaque. Most come in control top but some do not. The regular ones (non-control top) are pretty, comfortable, durable and come in multiple colors. I highly recommend them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1061012 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 15:17:08 +0000 Freckles 1061012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for all the helpful advice ladies.</p> <p>Planning a trip to the big mall. &nbsp;Never been in Ricki's but will check them out now for sure. &nbsp;I haven't seen Hue in the non control top but will ask when I go shopping this time. &nbsp;Never thought of Talbots Thistle, thanks.</p> <p>I'll see what they have at the mall, I'm sure I'll find something now using your great advice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1054535 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 17:01:09 +0000 Peri 1054535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Commando! They are the most comfortable things I've ever tried, and I'm with you, I hate control top. These are not, plus they have some kind of no waistband thing that doesn't dig in at all. And they are very opaque! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1054505 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:37:17 +0000 gryffin 1054505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Hue?&nbsp; They are quite opaque and wear really well.&nbsp; I like the control top but I know you can get them in regular.&nbsp; Amazon.com also carries them.&nbsp; They run TTS and I would not size up otherwise there is too much fabric.&nbsp; I also like the AT tights.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1054495 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:26:32 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1054495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto on the Wolford.&nbsp; BF bought me a pair of the Velvet tights in black (I think they are 66 denier), two years ago.&nbsp; I always hand-wash them, and they have held up beautifully.&nbsp; I've worn them at least 30 times.&nbsp; Wolfords are definitely worth the money. </p> <p>I also have a pair by Jessica Simpson that I got at Marshall's, that have really held up well, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1054491 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:18:31 +0000 K. Period. 1054491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto Diana. &nbsp;I picked up a bunch of the AT ones on sale at the end of the season last year. I think they were $2 after discount. Unfortunately, I should have sized up two sizes, not just one. &nbsp;They are plenty opaque, but still a little too controlling for me.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1054379 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:59:06 +0000 Thistle 1054379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some from Talbots I really like. Thick, opaque, and generously sized. Do not size up!</p> <p>I also bought a pair from Hanes last year. They advertised them as tights that could be worn as leggings. They could <i><b>not </b></i>be worn as leggings, but they were nice and thick, compeltely opaque, and without the control top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1054376 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:56:02 +0000 always trying 1054376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had same problem even with sheer nude ph. site I am going to try too is Alex blake.com they seem to have a lot of choices. but have not ordered from them yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1054337 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:27:28 +0000 viva 1054337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several style books by Nina Garcia (of Elle Magazine and Project Runway fame) -- great books, by the way -- and she waxes poetic about Wolford opaque black tights (Matte Opaque 80). According to her, their "unique knitting system ensures maximum opaqueness, comfort, and durability." They are an investment - $55 a pair - but right now it is Friends and Family at Saks and you can save 25%. I've never taken the plunge but with this savings and her endorsement, I just might.

The fabric has a nice, slightly shiny finish.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.anntaylor.com/perfect-tights/319487?colorExplode=false&amp;skuId=14457487&amp;catid=cata000024&amp;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&amp;defaultColor=6600">http://www.anntaylor.com/perfe.....24&#038;pr</a></p> <p>My tip for opaque tights is to size up. &nbsp;I always do it anyway for comfort (and because my long leg/pear shaped&nbsp;proportions mean that the height/weight charts for tights are off anyway) but it's most important for opaques so they don't have to stretch as much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-black-tights#post-1054309 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:59:19 +0000 Freckles 1054309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems the b&amp;m stores around here only carry control top tights which I don't wear. &nbsp;I finally found a pair of normal tights at the grocery store (Joe Fresh brand) which fit well and are not control top. &nbsp;They are not a true opaque though. &nbsp;I cannot wear them with a skirt as they become sheer only at the heels and kness as well as slightly on the calves. &nbsp;While I will keep them for under my pants do you have any recommendations for a truly non control top opaque tight?<br />Tia </p>
