A Definitive List of the Best Black Tights for Every Need

H&M’s affordable line of tights has the best cost-per-wear. They come in an array of deniers (the higher the number, the more opaque the tights) and textures, and feel great on your legs. 

ELLE.com is legitimately obsessed with Uniqlo’s Heattech line. Throughout the winter, I wear the tights every day under skirts, jeans, and dresses. They’re honestly warmer than most pants. 

If you need a #000000 black color that’s darker than today’s political climate, Wolford takes the cake. They are known for their saturated hue, but be prepared to pay the price. 

For cozy, fleece-lined tights, Nordstrom is the winner. Their style is super comfortable, don’t irritate my sensitive skin, and are the second warmest tights I’ve tried. 

Whenever I’m in a pinch for tights, I run into a CVS and pick up a pair of L’eggs, typically displayed next to nail clippers and weird popcorn tops. These are deceptively chic, so I buy them in bulk. 

If you’re searching for a pair of tights that will flatter your best asset, Spanx has a cult following for a reason. These tights lift your cheeks and round them out without pinching. 

Emilio Cavallini was friends with Mary Quant, a.k.a. the queen of Mod, thus birthing his own line of fan-favorite hosiery. From stripes to spots to everything in between, look to his brand for all your printed needs.
