Where can I buy black tights that are actually black?!

The other day I had black shoes, black tights and a black skirt on. (Plus a top obviously) but i noticed that the tights weren't properly black, looked awful against the black of my skirt? They are quite thick tights but not woolly ones. Where can I get black that is actually black and not a bluey strange tinge to them?!

I like the soft thick ones from Boots - I think they are called Bamboo tights. The thickness is not for everyone though.

Thanks I don't think Iv tried them. I don't understand why they aren't black though! I have a few pairs like it (all the black ones!)

M&S body sensor 60 denier are great.

Tabio make the blackest, opaquest that I've found.

Thank you. I don't think Iv tried m&s! I don't even know what denier I wear/want. I want black ones not ones that show skin through the black so I presume quite high denier? Have t heard of the second one, are they expensive?

The M&S ones I recommended are £8 for 3 pairs I think. They also sell 100 denier but I find 60 denier more than thick enough.

Fab thanks suze. I don't want Woolley but black so they don't see though to my legs. I'm not sure if that is why they aren't properly black or not?

These ones are soft and silky, definitely not woolly in any way. Have a look and see what you think.

Primark 80 or 100 are fab !
