Buy tights made with sturdy materials, and make sure you’re buying the right size and length for your legs. Then, be gentle when wearing, cleaning, and storing your tights. “Avoid harsh pulling,” López says. “Wash [your tights] by themselves or in a mesh laundry pouch, and store them with other tights.” If your tights do rip, use some clear nail polish to keep the tear from getting worse. “If you see a small tear in the tight, you can seal the run with clear nail polish,” López says. “Just dab a little on each end of the tear.” If you’re in a position where you can splurge on high-quality materials, Wolford’s Merino Tights are some of the best tights money can buy. Many other warm tights are made of a nylon-elastane blend and occasionally lined with fleece for added warmth—but these are made of equal parts merino wool and nylon, with a little elastane thrown in.

And while they’d make a great layering piece, they’re also incredibly warm on their own, thanks to the thermal performance fabric that insulates you and helps retain heat. “There are plenty of tights with a fleece lining to keep you warmer,” Teich says. “[But] there are also warmer tights, like Uniqlo’s HeatTech tights, that do the job with one thin layer.”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. They’re amazing for layering under pants when out in the freezing cold but can be worn on their own (if not meant for only base layers) for flights, workouts, lounging, or even sleeping! They’re perfect for sightseeing in chilly weather because they’ll keep your temperature regulated as you go in and out of warm spaces. No matter what you have planned, these versatile pants will keep things fresh all day long.

If your skirt is midi length, add a pair of knee-high boots to your look and no one will ever know that you have a pair of loungewear style leggings underneath. 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.” A wearer says, “These merino long underwear have been a game changer. On some of the coldest Minnesota days, they kept me warm! They are so comfortable, I sometimes just use them for sleeping. Buy a pair with a matching top . You will not regret it.” They come in sizes XS-XL . A good fit for tights can make all the difference,” Teich says. If your tights are too small, they may rip, roll down, or feel uncomfortably tight.

All Year Round

In warm temperatures, wool's breathable qualities draw in air removing excess heat and moisture from the body, helping the wearer stay cool. Merino wool particularly is naturally water-resistant and expels moisture vapour through its fibres naturally, keeping bacteria and bad odours at bay. A reader says, “ibex was the perfect base layer for me during a January Scotland trip. Highly recommend this brand!” Sizes range from XS-XL .

Leuwenhaupt also recommends waiting a while between washes. “To help your tights last longer, wash them only when necessary,” he says. “Between washes, you can air your tights outside and give them a spritz of fabric spray to remove unwanted odors.”

WINTER LEGGINGS FOR WOMEN

Woven from a blend of polyester and spandex, the tights feel like a stretchy sweater for your legs. We also like that they’re designed with a tagless waistband to cut down on itch and irritation. Since the tights come in three versatile colors, they’re super easy to pair with your favorite winter outfits. And to top things off, they’re remarkably budget-friendly, too. The tights contain 52% merino wool, which is more than many other merino-blend tights. And that wool is blended with polyamide and elastane to cut down on static, itch, and wear. The tights are ribbed in two directions, which helps them stay put rather than rolling down, and they can be machine-washed and air dried, so they’re also easy to clean. One note: To cut down on dye transfer, you should wash the tights before wearing them—and you should only wash them with similar colors. These are well made pants and the merino wool is good quality. They provide nice warmth and breathability and aren’t itchy at all.” 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.
