We got a lovely letter from Lauren, who not only asked about tights, but wished us well with our eye surgeries. We genuinely thank her (and everyone) for their well-wishes. We got implantable collamer lenses, so we’re basically like a cyborg with contact lens implanted in our eyes. But that does not help Lauren and her tights issue. Here it is:
Anyway–it’s super hard to find good opaque tights. I find that so many are slightly sheer when on (maybe its more a problem of thighs?) and then they remind me of "pantyhose." Hose. Hate that. So maybe everyone including the authors of this site can give their recs for really really really opaque tights.
We can totally relate to this issue - tights seem like the most simple thing to buy in the world. But if they’re crappy quality, they look spotty. If they’re not opaque enough, it’s like HELLO SKIN. If they’re just slightly too small, you will be constantly pulling them up at the most inopportune moments (as we learned yesterday), and too big will bag at the knees. The opacity question is hard. Lucky magazine just recommended Nordstrom’s housebrand tights as the most opaque, but their website picture almost contradicts that. They’re only $10, but still. They also only have control top on their site, but hopefully they have non-binding in the stores.

We’ve always liked Hue. Loads of colors, and pretty solid from what we can remember. In fact, we’ve always bought Hue. Which means we’re out of ideas.

Anyone else have ideas for Lauren?
