Last June, I was deep in the throes of the pregnancy nesting phase.  I cleaned all of the closets, and then moved on to cleaning every drawer.  That’s when I made a decision that I would come to regret.

I threw out all of my black tights.

I remember the moment distinctly.  It was a Sunday.  I was standing in front of my birdseye maple dresser staring at a bin filled with rolled up pairs of slightly worn tights, and decided to toss the old and replace them in the fall with new.  I was so optimistic and hopeful then.

The problem is, I didn’t replace them.  I forgot.  (You know, baby, job, etc.)  Until Monday when I tried to get ready for work and realized that I own no tights, and that wearing dresses and skirts in December might be impossible without tights.  Time for a re-stock.

These Fleece Lined Tights from Nordstrom are the best for winter.  They’re warm, they’re thick, they’re very black.  And did I mention they’re $10 per pair at the Rack?

High denier tights are thicker and darker.  Usually a pair of 100 Denier tights will set you back — $50+ for Falke, $90 for Wolford.  But this Badgley Mischka pair is just $19.  They’re thick, smooth, and soft to the touch — no itching.  Grab them before they’re gone because they sell out.

Need a plus size option?  These Hanes tights go up to 2X and Boohoo has tights up to size 22.
