I'm down to my last two pairs of black tights, and one is at least 5 years old, so they're living on borrowed time. The other are brand new high-waisted Spanx, which are great, but I don't always want my tights to come up to nearly bra-level (although they're great with knit dresses).
But here is my dilemma -- I recently bought a pair of DKNY control tops which are very nice, BUT the control top portion ends right at the hip line. I don't need tummy control so much, but I need thigh control. (Really trying hard not to hate my legs right now!) My old pairs (so old I can't remember the brand) had a control panel going down to mid-thigh.
The hosiery department at Nordstrom was sadly lacking in this area -- only if i want more Spanx, and honestly, I don't want that level of control all the time. Does anyone know of a good quality not-too-opaque tight that has control going down to mid-thigh? Or should I just give it up and get non-control-top tights?
