Over the past few years I have stumbled into Urban Outfitters and cautiously walked up the their tights section and glanced over at all the wonderful colors and selection. One good thing about them is they have a very wide array of tights. Lace, opaque, knit, sheer, they have it all. If you sometimes think that quantity lacks quality, your wrong on the one. The tights I've tried from Urban are the opaque ones, knit, and a few other ones. I'll start with the opaques.
First of all, Urban's tights are 2 for $20 dollars, can't go to wrong there. They actually are really good tights. Very comfy and durability, not itchy at all. And when they advertise them as opaque, boy are they opaque! They are incredibly thick for such a cheap price its insane. They aren't too thick to wear outside on a hot day but absolutely perfect for winter. The opaque ones I have are grey and black, both are probably 2 of my favorite tights. They grey is one of the best pairs of grey tights I could find. And the black is just as good too, after many washes it never looses any color or fades.
The other pair of tights I tried are their Bamboo tights. Now, anyone who hasn't heard of the idea of a Bamboo tight is clearly missing out. Yes, they are made out of bamboo, but we aren't talking like wood hear. They are right out there with being the most comfortable tights for being a sweater tight like tight. I have 2 pairs of bamboo tights and this one takes the cake. Its incredibly comfy and cozy, perfect for a cold day or for around the house.
Ofcourse, Urban Outfitters sizes their tights in the sometimes common Small/Medium and Medium/Large. I actually prefer this sizing chart. Noting is worse than the 1,2,3 sizes or as we all know the "One Size." I would always recommend people to go a size up with tights. This allows more fabric to be available and more opaqueness. If you get a smaller size than normal the fabric is being stretched over your leg creating a semi sheer appearance and why not just wear pantyhose in that case. ICK!
To speak about durability I'd have to tell you that these are the only tights where I have gotten a run (ladder) in them. I'm very good with never getting rips in mine but these after time seemed to develop a long ladder in them. Given I had had them for months so its probably ok. I can assure under the right conditions, meaning not drying, proper care and such these should last you a while. I wouldn't be crazy enough to say they are better or even come close to We Love Colors tights but they in the top 3 I'd say pretty close to We Love.
