Swedish Stockings has some awesome looking socks too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2184316 Sun, 04 Apr 2021 13:48:10 +0000 Hadilly 2184316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I highly recommend Swedish Stockings. Super comfy and they have a strong commitment to recycling. By far my favorite tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2184298 Sun, 04 Apr 2021 12:44:53 +0000 notsaf 2184298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you ever need black in various opacities, I swear by Commando. Wonderful fit and tough as nails in my experience. Limited color range, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183938 Fri, 02 Apr 2021 13:08:04 +0000 Lusara 2183938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Wolford. They are a bit pricey but they hold up really well so are worth the money IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183866 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 22:34:38 +0000 vc 2183866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several Wolford tights, one pair which survived a flight and wear all day afterwards without a run. Very good quality and worth the money in my opinion, if you can afford it. I also bought a pair of tights from Amazon for winter - the brand is called Aphro; they have a fleece lining and, oh my goodness were they lovely! They kept me toasty, but not overly so, in Chicago sub-zero weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183840 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 21:05:00 +0000 Anonymous 2183840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Rachy! I'm not sure if I wore tights at all last winter, since I just went to the office for a couple months. I've always just bought big box store cheapos, but would upgrade if worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183825 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 20:08:36 +0000 cat2 2183825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone, I am going to try Capezio and Calzedonia for colors Talbots did not have this year. I also already splurged on sale Wolford and Missoni tights; I have not tried either yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183814 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 19:20:36 +0000 rachylou 2183814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate all my tights... Capezio is a great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183798 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 17:35:34 +0000 cat2 2183798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, how does Pendleton fit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183736 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 04:16:32 +0000 Anonymous 2183736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say Hue but I have a pair on today and they keep sliding down. I think Shimera brand works well. I do not wear leggings, but like Pendleton lined tights for winter. This spring watch for clearance sales and try some different brands. The wool or fleece lined tights are opaque but warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183658 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 20:17:44 +0000 LaPed 2183658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI, I’ve pretty much given up on winter hosiery; too cold, too much snow. If I need to look polished, I have trousers! But leggings feel a bit heavy under linen dresses, which I’d like to be wearing on sunny days when it’s still too cold for bare legs. Your experience with Wolford confirms my hesitation; even discounted they’re 2-3 times what I’m used to spending. I culled some really nice, cozy Uniqlo sweater tights that were years old, assuming they’d have something similar this year, but no luck.</p> <p>Gigi, I’ve seen people recommend those Halogen sweater tights and was hoping they’d be available last fall too! Same as Uniqlo and Boden — none of the brands I’m familiar with had anything interesting for hosiery last year!</p> <p>Bj111, that’s good to know! Do you find the Spanx comfortable? I associate the brand with shapewear, but maybe they have some non-shaping styles as well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183564 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 09:39:52 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2183564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This past winter, I wore leggings a lot more than tights. One exception is my burgundy tights in the find. I have cable yarn tights from Hannah Andersson that last and last, as well as a heathered blue pair from Uniqlo 2 years ago. </p> <p>I’ve found Wolford at the Rack for pretty reasonable prices, but they are more sheer than I usually wear, and I put a run in one pair pretty fast. So far the body stockings, which were cheap, are holding up better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183503 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 01:39:58 +0000 Gigi 2183503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the past I've bought opaque tights from Calzedonia, which I think is probably another name for CalzItaly. The tights were warm and comfy. I didn't get the style you linked to in your post--I got a style that had a little cashmere in it, because I wanted the tights for extremely cold days. So far they are holding up well.</p> <p>My absolute fave for really cold days is Nordstrom's Halogen sweater tights, but they didn't offer them this past year. Those were so soft! And they were very warm too. Well worth the money. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183501 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 00:54:28 +0000 bj1111 2183501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love spanx tights for neutrals and wolfords for patterned black hosiery.</p> <p>wolfords is indestructible.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183500 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 00:52:25 +0000 LaPed 2183500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lisa p -- Hue has always been my go-to as well, but I find myself reaching for the ones from Boden more. They are softer, stretchier, and seem to hold up just as well. I've had trouble with lower-denier tights from Hue getting holes after just one or two wears, but it could just be that my life doesn't lend itself to sheers. :D&nbsp;</p> <p>Sal -- I would love a new pair in burgundy! I retired a pair of cozy wine-coloured tights (also Boden) this winter; I wore them to death. They were rib-knit and pretty cozy. Hoping I can find some more ribbed and cabled styles next fall; there didn't seem to be much out there in 2020. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183456 Tue, 30 Mar 2021 19:28:47 +0000 Anonymous 2183456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stick to Hue for any and all hosiery . Frequent sales and the price point is perfect for my budget . Sizing and quality are reliable and good for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183454 Tue, 30 Mar 2021 18:56:24 +0000 Sal 2183454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No brand ideas but I am about to go on the hunt too. Going to try burgundy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183451 Tue, 30 Mar 2021 18:48:38 +0000 LaPed 2183451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie -- those are the ones I have! I wish they'd offer some other colours. Usually Boden's A/W collection has some novelty tights, but last year they had nothing. :(</p> <p>Elle -- Dance supply shops, smart! That hadn't occurred to me but makes perfect sense.&nbsp;</p> <p>cat2 -- Good to know that Talbots holds up well. They're one of the few brands left with a brick-and-mortar store in my area.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183448 Tue, 30 Mar 2021 18:29:27 +0000 Elle 2183448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Capezio ultra soft tights. Very comfy, last a long time, and don't dig in at the waist. They come in black, various browns, and, of course, ballet pink. No fun colors though. If you are on the cusp of the size chart, size up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.capezio.com/ultra-soft-footed-tight">https://www.capezio.com/ultra-soft-footed-tight</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183446 Tue, 30 Mar 2021 18:22:59 +0000 Angie 2183446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My clients like Boden for neutrals.

The color range is limited but the product wears well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-your-favorite-tights#post-2183441 Tue, 30 Mar 2021 17:29:09 +0000 LaPed 2183441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After a big cull, I’m down to a very small and uninspiring hosiery assortment and would like to refresh it since we’ve finally reached the brief not-freezing/not-sweltering season here in New England, so it’s prime hosiery time. </p> <p>Right now, I have two pairs of Boden tights that I like quite a bit, solid dark grey and solid navy. I also have two pairs of Hue tights that I don’t love because they’re not as stretchy as I’d like, but the colours (black and eggplant) are very versatile. </p> <p>What I’d like to find are some semi-opaque brown, black, and navy, and maybe some opaques in fun colours that would work with my current wardrobe: perhaps olive, burgundy, and mustard. They need to be very comfortable and very durable, otherwise I will just reach for Athleta leggings instead, or wear pants. :D</p> <p>Two brands on my radar are <a rel="nofollow" href="https://snagtights.us/">Snag</a>, which has awesome inclusive sizing but their non-neutrals are all a bit too poppy for me:&nbsp;</p> <p>And <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/OPAQUE-MICROFIBER-PANTYHOSE-ITALIAN-HOSIERY/dp/B07X5Z6VVX?ref_=ast_sto_dp&amp;">Calzitaly</a>, which I’m told are very well-made and comfortable, and they have all the fun colours I want.</p> <p>Anyone have other ideas? I’ve considered going high-end, like Wolford and Sheertex, but I’m not sure I can justify the price, unless they really will last much, much longer. </p>
