Best Tights Ever

Yesterday we talked about mantyhose, but now let's talk about tights...for us ladies! I have to say that my all-time favorite pair of tights are from Express. They hold up for a long time, have just enough tightness to make you feel tucked for a smooth look, and are perfectly opaque and never pill.

Full Length Tights ($14.50) are excellent! My number one choice!

Express Full Tights - Body Shaping ($22.50) come in a close second and offer an even more snug fit.

Assets Terrific Tights by Sara Blakely ($12 from Target) are my third fave. It's the same woman who brought us Spanx, but Assets are much cheaper.

What about you? What brand of tights are your favorite?

About the author Michele Zipp

loves vintage and will defend skinny jeans to the death though she is highly superstitious and "death" is probably a bad word choice. She has a touch of the hoarding disease and enjoys sleuthing, the worst reality shows, and wearing high heels, even at the playground. She's an AP mom of twins, slightly crunchy but with a pedicure.

I haven't worn tights since I was a teenager. Right now, I wouldn't wear them for a fashion statement, but to be warm in IL in Jan!

Chinese Laundry -- I usually pick them up at TJ Maxx or Marshall's on sale.

Dillards has their own line for about 18.00 and Jacqulyn Smith had them last winter for under 10.00. I personally didn't think I'd like them, but once I wore a pair I was hooked! I was going to a funeral in Jan and my sister gave me a pair to wear....I was amazed at how they kept the wind from just cutting through the legs even with my coat!!!

I love em!
