I'll see how the Silks are and if they're not enough I'll go back for the H&#38;Ms, which were $14 I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-thick-like-leggings-opaque-tights#post-37540 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:09:31 +0000 Ana 37540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No problem! I actually got the layering idea from Angie's blog (hee hee). I've never heard of 100 denier tights. Those would probably be really opaque! Definitely worth a try, since H&#38;M is pretty cheap right? If you end up getting them, would you let us know how they are? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-thick-like-leggings-opaque-tights#post-37533 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 01:34:22 +0000 BLB 37533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ana! I checked out the reversible Spanx, but they're out of my budget ($48). I got a pair of "Premium" tights by Silks and I'll try layering them with another pair if they're not opaque enough. I never thought of that--great idea. </p> <p>I also saw some 100-denier opaque tights at H&#38;M. I might try those too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-thick-like-leggings-opaque-tights#post-37471 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:27:25 +0000 Ana 37471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wolford 80 tights are opaque. They are spendy though.</p> <p><a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod43130143&#038;parentId=cat19580731&#038;ecid=NMALRFeedJ84DHJLQkR4&#038;ci_src=14110925&#038;ci_sku=I7746" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/st....._sku=I7746</a></p> <p>Another option is to buy 2 pairs of opaque tights, and then wear them both. Also, I've heard the Spanx Tight End reversible tights are very opaque. I have them in plain black (not reversible) and they are pretty opaque, but not completely, especially around the knee and thigh. </p> <p>What you want to look for are tights that have an 80 denier (that's how tightly they are woven--the closer to 80, the more tightly woven). Some tights have this information on the package, others don't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-thick-like-leggings-opaque-tights#post-37470 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:21:44 +0000 BLB 37470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking for a pair of tights that are the thickness, weight and opacity of a pair of black microfibre leggings I already have. Actually, the leggings are technically long underwear--ha!--but they work beautifully as leggings. They're completely opaque--no skin shines through on the thighs, for example. I want to wear then during the holidays with some shorter sweater dresses I have. We don't wear shoes inside here in Canada, so I can't really just do leggings with socks and boots over. That's why I want tights. I don't want wool.</p> <p>Has anyone come across anything like this? </p>
