The Right Tights for Right Now

During the cold months, we at Real Life Style field the same question over and over: what type of tights should I wear for work/date night/a formal event?

For all these different occasions, our answer has been the same. 50 Denier tights are the perfect level of opacity. 100 denier super opaque black tights can read as casual, young or dated. 10 denier hose work well for certain events and dresses, but can be a little trickier to style. Our go-to 50 denier tight is the Wolford Velvet de Luxe 50, which we also buy in knee-highs for trousers. Recently, we discovered Wolford’s Pure 50 tights, which are created to be silky soft and comfortable, and the Power Shape 50 Control tights, which shape and suck you in without digging or being restrictive. Wolford tights are very expensive but we still swear by them!
