While some tights are dry clean- or hand wash-only, most of our favorite warm tights are machine-washable. But even if your tights can be machine washed, Leuwenhaupt recommends hand washing them. “Hand wash your tights in cold water when possible,” he says. “[And] opt for air drying to preserve their shape and prevent potential tears.”

All of our thermal tights are made from advanced insulating yarn, which is intensively brushed to provide a soft inside that captures and holds as much warm air as possible close to your skin. That means incredible insulation that keeps feet and legs lovely and warm all day long. If your thermal tights collection could do with some TLC, our Heat Holders tights brush all others aside. TALKING ALL THAT TOGYour Majesty Not very stretchy! I bought the wrong size but even so they wouldn't fit a mouse. Strange shape at the top , not very stretchy. I have them away to a very slightly built acquaintance and I haven't heard from her if they fit her. If you want a pair of shapewear tights that will also keep you warm, look no further than Hue’s Super Opaque Tights With Control Top. These ultra-cozy tights are made of a blend of nylon and spandex, and they’re designed with a control top, which makes the top of the tights feel snug and slimming—but not uncomfortably tight. Glamdam Fabulas tights These tights are the best ever. I have bought others in the past and they are not as warm as these

It’s nearly impossible to find a pair of 100-percent cashmere tights, and even cashmere-blend tights can get really expensive. But we love Natori’s Cashmere Sweater Tights for a simple reason: They offer a good amount of cashmere at a reasonable price. Sure, you can find more affordable tights that contain half as much cashmere, or cashmere-heavy tights that cost three times the price. But we think that these tights hit the sweet spot, giving you the cozy feel of cashmere without costing a small fortune. Tights are often made from a blend of textile fibers, because each fiber has specific features that contribute to the overall functionality of the garment,” says textile expert Frej Leuwenhaupt. Understanding can help when shopping online, because you can estimate the feel of your tights based on the fabric blend. If you’re looking for a pair (or two) of budget-friendly tights, we recommend G&Y’s Fleece-Lined Tights for a few reasons. For starters, the tights are made of plush microfiber and lined with polyester fleece, so they offer twice as much warmth as some of the other pairs on our list. The Snag Merino Wool Tights are cozy, stretchy, and durable. And best of all, they’re made to fit a range of body types. While many tights come in sizes XS through XL, these come in A/B (2/4) through G (26/34). They’re hands-down the most size-inclusive tights on our list. Snag’s size chart helps you find your perfect fit, based on your height, body type, and go-to clothing size. Ronironi Lovely Warm and comfy, a must-have item during winter. Planning to get another pair of them.
