What are the best opaque black tights?

[HappyGowerGirl]

I'm looking for some new black tights!

I used to love the M&S fleece lined ones because they were really nice and thick but they don't seem to do those anymore.

They don't have to be fleece lined though being properly opaque is a must!

Also I hate saggy tights! (Am 5.8/size 10)

If you've got the perfect pair, please share your secret!

Primark is your friend here!

They do properly opaque 200 denier black tights (that don't sag - I too am a hater of the saggy tight) and also have the fleece lined ones.

Thank you star!

I like the M&S velvet touch ones.

The Tesco signature luxury 140 denier opaque tights are a must for me, I used to get m&s velvet
touch but tesco are thicker and cheaper

I love the toasty merino ones from falke. Allows me to wear more dresses in deep winter.

Thanks all! The M&S velvety ones are slightly too "see through" for my liking. I've just seen that H&M do some nice thick fleecy ones though!

I just bought the m&s velvet touch ones they’re pretty good

M&S velvet touch 100denier - they're my faves. I think I saw 200denier ones when I was in there the other day too.

I agree autograph velvet touch, I am tall and had some tights disasters but theses are really comfortable. this thread has reminded me to go and clear out all the other tights so I don't old ones on by accident.

Primark.
Way better than more expensive tights.

I buy mine from Sainsbury’s. .

The Primark tights are by far the best I've ever bought.

I love Wolford. They last years

Hate Sainsbury's ones!

The best black opaque I've tried are Falke which can be bought at a cheaper price at TK Maxx. Would love some Wolfords though.

this thread may help.

M&S thermal are great, but they only had a dark brown colour last time I looked.
Tesco thick black opaques are my budget favourites.

Wolford are great fit and last ages

Falke are great but all the TK Maxx's I've been in don't have my size! Primark are also good- have a couple of pairs of their Super Soft opaques.

I'm not in the UK but I love Calzedonia. Everything I've had from there has been great tights for dd and I are warm and have never snagged. They always have unusual designs too. I think they have a few branches in the UK now.

Jasper Conran at Debenhams do opaque tights. My favourite opaques.
I love the feel of them. I think they may be 60 denier. I got them last year.
M&S Silky Soft are lovely too.

Another vote for primark

Yes M&S Silky Soft, feel exactly how they sound

Wolfe’s or Falke. I know they seem expensive but they last for so long that cost per wear is in the negatives (if that were possible).
I love wolford velvet 66 (some name like that). I don’t like too opaque. In fact I find I’m gazing fondly at those sheer black tights of old. Rather scary. Velvet 66 are a nice in-between, opaque but not too opaque. I have a pair since approx 1964 and they’re still in fab nick.
