Best Black Tights - Reviews On Top Brands & Styles

R29 readers and women across the World Wide Web share the best black tights they swear by.

Commando Ultimate Opaque Matte Tights

The “Smooth Operator” Tights

Anyone who’s tried Commando tights has probably heard of their one defining trait: the waistband. No matter what you’re wearing — from a body-con dress to skintight jeans — you’ll be hard-pressed to find a pair of tights with smoother lines than these.

The hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars and 164 reviews on Nordstrom

What they're saying: “Commando! So opaque, soft, warm. The thing that seals it is the waistband, though. The thick band is like a maternity belt, absolutely zero digging and no lines under body-con dresses. No bagging, no poofy knees, no runs, no pulling — and the one hole I’ve ever had didn’t get any bigger (it was on the toe and easy to hide). I wish they made a slightly smaller size, because they can slip a bit, but if you get the correct size, they stay in place all day and night! I wear the stirrup foot ones under skinny jeans and they’re amazingly comfortable.” — Britt Bryant, Refinery29 reader review

Torrid Microfiber Tights

The Softest Tights (Plus Size)

As we all know, finding a pair of comfortable tights is hardly an easy task. Now, take into account the fact that a lot of hosiery brands don’t offer tights in extended sizes at all. So if you’re looking for a pair of cozy tights that’ll fit just right, these are for you.

The hype: 4.6 out of 5 stars and 471 reviews on Torrid

What they’re saying: “BUY THESE TIGHTS! These are the first tights I have bought in a loooonnnng time and let me tell you, I don’t regret it! They are comfortable, not completely see through, kept me warm, and are made to last. They fit true to size and I did not have any problems with sagging. Did I mention how soft they are? I’ll be buying another pair.” — Anonymous, Torrid reviewer
