Mariemagic Bobbled after one wash Looked great and then I washed it, bobbled after one wash? Really poor for 14 pounds 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.

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: If your tights do rip, use some clear nail polish to keep the tear from getting worse. “If you see a small tear in the tight, you can seal the run with clear nail polish,” López says. “Just dab a little on each end of the tear.”Leuwenhaupt also recommends waiting a while between washes. “To help your tights last longer, wash them only when necessary,” he says. “Between washes, you can air your tights outside and give them a spritz of fabric spray to remove unwanted odors.” 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. 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.

Why so hard to review So warm and cosy. Lovely and soft, feel and look great on, wish they were made in more colours. Woven from a blend of polyester and spandex, the tights feel like a stretchy sweater for your legs. We also like that they’re designed with a tagless waistband to cut down on itch and irritation. Since the tights come in three versatile colors, they’re super easy to pair with your favorite winter outfits. And to top things off, they’re remarkably budget-friendly, too. 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. If you’re worried about wool tights feeling itchy, put your fears to rest. Merino wool is one of the finest and softest wools around, so you can expect these tights to feel comfortable rather than scratchy. Though the tights are the most expensive on our list, we think they’re worth the investment—and stylist Liz Teich agrees. “These tights are so luxe,” she says. “Wolford is a brand I tend to recommend to clients, because while the tights are a splurge, they [outlast cheaper options].” If 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.Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.

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).
