I’ve used so many different washing bags throughout the years and to be honest most of them would break apart after a couple of washes.

That being said, the brand's tights come at a premium, so we recommend opting for the brand's Essential Sheer Rip-Resist Tights. Real talk, I haven’t worn tights in over 10 years, so I was pretty curious about how these would fit on my body.While personally, it's not our usual style, these tights are exceptionally flattering and so much more comfortable than expected. Invented by Mary Quant, the mini skirt was the epitome of swinging '60s style, and legs were on show as hemlines went above the knee. Founded in 2017, Sheertex is a relatively new name in the hosiery world, but it's made its presence known thanks to its strong Instagram game and 'rip-resistant' tights, which it claims are "made with one of the strongest materials in the world. There’s nothing worse than noticing a run on a new pair of tights, fussing with a waistband that just won’t stay put or pulling up sagging tights every few minutes.

Then I did what anyone sent a package of supposedly indestructible-by-human-hands hose might do: I pulled on them as hard as I could with my own human hands. Whether you want to jump on the lace tights wave, channelling your best Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent style, or opt for a classic wool pair to keep cosy, there are so many out there to choose from.

How they fared in that regard is pretty boring—looks and feel-wise, they’re just like regular pantyhose. These are ten deniers more than some of the other tights tested – yet they feel like the thinnest out of others tested and not necessarily as opaque as you hope. Plus, it more than impressed our consumer testers, who raved that the tights were not only comfortable but also easy to get on without any signs of snagging, ripping or sagging when they wore them. Just remember, as the name implies, this pair has super opaque, thick material and includes a control top.

I love everything about your leg wear, it's not say quite as luxe as Wolford, and for lasting easily 10x longer, I'm your biggest fan! Our pneumatic bursting strength tester (pictured below) measures the amount of pressure needed to burst a hole in a fabric sample. They were comfortable on both a night out dancing 'til the early hours and a long walk in the brisk cold air with boots. I tugged on them roughly while getting them on and dug my nails into the material while adjusting the legs. If you're looking for a pair of tights to give you a real lift, both body and confidence-wise, the Ann Summers Geo Crotchless Fishnet Tights are right up your street.These tights also come in other variations, including a sheer nude version, but be aware that this brand is on the pricier side and you'll need to be extra cautious: One tester told us it tore on the first wear. If you prefer more coverage, the brand offers these tights in a high-waisted version that ends just below the bra for extra shaping. Snag has become something of an icon for tights fashion, with millions of fans across the world and many manufacturers have tried to emulate them. Designed with an elasticated waistband and flat locked seams, these extremely comfortable workout pants are great for hiking with friends, working out in the gym, whilst out on a run, doing CrossFit or just relaxing around the house. Shapewear also began to be incorporated into tights, with Spanx becoming a notable name uttered on the red carpet of every Hollywood awards show.
