Where do I get the best Black Opaque tights matt finish??

[Ilovecrossfit]

PLEASE...
I mean 200 or 400 denier???
My xmas party dress is bit short but then all dresses are as Im tall so I need tights that look like leggings pretty much ( but cant have leggings as wearing pumps)
And they need to be matt

THANK YOU

I bought some from Tesco at the weekend - they were called velvet finish, I think. I'm tall too and they were a good length (got large for the length) and 160 denier. They are the only ones I've seen that weren't glossy.

I have also been looking for the same thing and have now splashed out on a pair of Falke 100 denier pure matt tights from House of Fraser. I heard about them when they were recommended on the Wearing it Today blog.

I second the tesco ones - they are lovely and soft and only £4

I swear by Wolford opaques. V £££ but last forever. I have 3 pairs which I bought 6 years ago and they are still going strong.
Falke also good esp for tall people( I am not tall)

YY re Wolford.

Falke tights fall down on me and I am not particularly short but the finish is nice.

primark

I got some great 300 denier ones in Asda, they fit well and have a lovely matt finish ... And £4... bargain!

will check falke as Im tall, do you mean Wolford more than 50 if so not buying if under will check them too :)

The fleece lined ones in Primark look like leggings and are cheap as chips

Mat opaque 80 denier £23

Wolford are great. Not sure about their highest denier.

You would think it easy to buy opaque high denier tights. Seems simple. It so flipping isn't. Tried the Primark ones, didn't like them, they're not smooth, and don't feel nice on. And they fell down. Tesco Velvet touch aren't bad but they also fell down and I ended up hoiking them up all day. H&M also ended up falling down. In whatever size I bought. Ideally I would like some thigh sucking-in power built in, but that seems incredibly elusive this year. M&S are fine, no sucking-in thigh power over a piddly 60 denier tho.
I'm going to try Wolford next time I'm in town. (And I may hold this thread responsible if they are not good harrumph)

Apologies the thread hijack.

I wear Falke now that M&S are so shit and chopped a foot off the length of their tights.
They fall down a smidge.
Will try Wolford next.

There's a great website mytights but not sure of returns policy.

Falke 100 denier matt tights. I get them from mytights.com

I also like wolford, for a short xmas dress they are best and actually for £20 not bad value, as last forever
whereas M&S that will eventually ladder cost £8

Wolford too. Well worth the money.

M&S are total rubbish, don't waste your money. Primark 80 denier are ok but fade after about 10 washes. Wolford all the way for me - the last pair I had lasted 8 years! (yes, really!)

I love My Wolford opaques. But if I am honest they are not quite long enough (am 5'10) though not so short as to stop me wearing them

i liek wolford but the M is sitll pretty long for me ( size 12 32 inch inside leg)

Falke definitely the way to go, Wolford ok, but not as good IMO.

Wolford or Falke.
Though i do use Dunnes Stores ( a big Irish company with U.K. stores) for everday- brilliant value €8 for silky soft opaques.... but i know you wanted more matt ones.

Yy Walford and quick HoF got discount on them www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Wolford+Women+Tights/BRAND_WOLFORD_3065,default,sc.html&redirectQuery=wolford

Ooooh ooh ooh and Falke!
