But they also tend to be lightweight and stylish. “Tights are meant to be seen, and thermals are not,” says stylist Kendra Sharpe. Tights are also more versatile than thermals: “Thermals are generally [designed for] cold-weather wear, while tights tend to be more multi-season,” Chayes says. ICYMI, tights season is in full swing, whether you can’t wait to slide into a pair the second summer's over or barely tolerate 'em as a means of wearing skirts in January. Either way, your legs deserve the best tights this winter so you can stun in the cutest winter outfits sans frostbite. Not all tights are created equal–you’ll def wanna avoid subpar pairs that run or tear ( so annoying!) or have saggy waistbands constantly in need of pulling up (the woooorst). A third said they were too small, writing: "Very disappointed. Too short." Another said they had an issue with the seams: "OMG I didn't like these at all. The seams are in really weird places and squeezes the inner thighs... Looks awful. But I think these are warm and very good for cold weather."

Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. It often indicates a user profile.The tights contain 52% merino wool, which is more than many other merino-blend tights. And that wool is blended with polyamide and elastane to cut down on static, itch, and wear. The tights are ribbed in two directions, which helps them stay put rather than rolling down, and they can be machine-washed and air dried, so they’re also easy to clean. One note: To cut down on dye transfer, you should wash the tights before wearing them—and you should only wash them with similar colors. null Tights long enough to fit Giraffe. Bought same tights last year,reasonable fit. Bought them again this year far too big,not fit for purpose. While some tights are dry clean- or hand wash-only, most of our favorite warm tights are machine-washable. But even if your tights can be machine washed, Leuwenhaupt recommends hand washing them. “Hand wash your tights in cold water when possible,” he says. “[And] opt for air drying to preserve their shape and prevent potential tears.”

Embenem Poor Quality Only worn and washed a few times but the about of bobbles coming through is ridiculous and there is a hole in the top of the tights already. Really disappointed as I love the tights and M&S usually has brilliant quality but the quality of there has let me down. As colder seasons approach, there’s often a misconception that keeping warm and being fashionable are mutually exclusive. But don’t trade in that minidress for a boxy sweatshirt just yet. With a pair of the best fleece-lined tights, you can wear a sweater dress, maxi skirt, or even shorts for a look that doesn’t compromise on warmth or style. MK99098 Good tights, sizing not so... They are excellent for cold weather, but the sizing is very small (as with most M+S tights). It’s nearly impossible to find a pair of 100-percent cashmere tights, and even cashmere-blend tights can get really expensive. But we love Natori’s Cashmere Sweater Tights for a simple reason: They offer a good amount of cashmere at a reasonable price. Sure, you can find more affordable tights that contain half as much cashmere, or cashmere-heavy tights that cost three times the price. But we think that these tights hit the sweet spot, giving you the cozy feel of cashmere without costing a small fortune. To top things off, these tights are one of the most affordable options on our list. And when we asked stylists to recommend their favorite warm tights, Teich gave these a shoutout.

What are good quality tights?

However, one shopper did warn: "If you go for the cheapest option, you must know that they are not thermal. They have this kind of see-through effect and feel more like a thin legging." A second claimed: "Loved it at first but after a few minutes it ripped." StaceT Would advise against buying Within one wear the inside flesh-coloured lining could be seen bobbling on the outside, completely ruining the effect. If you’re looking for ultra-cozy ribbed tights, Teich recommends the Uniqlo HeatTech Ribbed Knitted Tights. The tights are thin, lightweight, and stretchy. And while they’d make a great layering piece, they’re also incredibly warm on their own, thanks to the thermal performance fabric that insulates you and helps retain heat. “There are plenty of tights with a fleece lining to keep you warmer,” Teich says. “[But] there are also warmer tights, like Uniqlo’s HeatTech tights, that do the job with one thin layer.” Woven from polyester, cotton, and spandex, the tights feel incredibly soft and cozy, and they’re stretchy enough for everyday wear. Since the tights are unlined, they’re relatively sleek. This also makes them an ideal candidate for layering over another pair of tights—ideally a pair in a contrasting color to best bring out the pattern. For an even more budget-friendly option, we recommend the G&Y Fleece-Lined Tights. Available in sets of two, these cozy tights are super opaque with a 100 denier, and have a polyester fleece lining for extra warmth.

Cgryhfthg Poor quality I couldn’t buy in store so I had to buy online. They looked really good as they had a beige colour rather than grey like so many other products like this on the market but they bobbled after only wearing for a few hours. I expected better quality from m&s and for the price. I tried to resolve the problem over chat but was hung up on twice and then third time, I was told to return to store but I’d already told them, I bought it onlineIf you want a pair of shapewear tights that will also keep you warm, look no further than Hue’s Super Opaque Tights With Control Top. These ultra-cozy tights are made of a blend of nylon and spandex, and they’re designed with a control top, which makes the top of the tights feel snug and slimming—but not uncomfortably tight. Hon Warm Warm, fully opaque. Exlarge for size 16 but too long for 163cm height. I missed the stretch of regular higher lyrca tights but I was warm and cosy outside in a 4degrees day. I'm a size 10-12 on the bottom but the X Large are still a bit snug around my hips/waist. The waistband is extremely high also, which is fine if you like that, but it goes to undernearth my bust.

To stay warm while wearing tights, buy the warmest tights you can—and layer other warm clothing on top of them. While you can wear tights to keep your legs covered with dresses and skirts on cool days, López recommends sliding warm tights under pants, jeans, leggings, or maxi dresses to add an extra layer of warmth on very cold days. The Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab has tested over 30 tights in recent years, including eight new styles this year alone. When testing, our analysts use standardized testing methods and specialized machinery to gauge different performance and durability factors. Plus, each style is also assessed by a group of consumer testers in their day-to-day lives. In all, we evaluated more than 16 ,000 data points to make these choices. Here are a few of the things we tested and considered during our evaluations:Stretch & Recovery: We cut swatches from each pair of tights, marking them with a set measurement, and stretch each swatch before clamping in place for a few hours. We then unclamp the fabric, allowing it to rest first for a minute before recording any changes and then re-measure after an hour. This is done to mimic real life wear, simulating whether your tights will stretch out from long-term wear. Everyone knows that the best tights are a staple under winter outfits. Semi-sheer and patterned pairs add visual interest to an outfit while keeping use covered; fleece lined tights add an extra layer of warmth. But in the past few seasons, fashion has also awakened us to the best tights’ potential as a standalone styling moment. Fall/winter from Bottega Veneta to Miu Miu styled their models in cozy knits, briefs, and semi-sheer tights—a risky look that celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber have embraced. Tights are often made from a blend of textile fibers, because each fiber has specific features that contribute to the overall functionality of the garment,” says textile expert Frej Leuwenhaupt. Understanding can help when shopping online, because you can estimate the feel of your tights based on the fabric blend.
