I'm so glad I've come back to Donna Karan tights. I've tried cheaper brands and they just fall apart. These tights are sturdy, fit like a dream and are exactly the right weight for fall and winter. I love them and am so happy I've bought two pairs.
I ordered 4 pairs, I had not ordered this brand previously when ordering tights from Nordstrom's, but am I over the moon that I did! They are very opaque, thick,great for colder weather, and make your legs look great, and saved when I bought 2 pairs!! Win! Win! They fit great and feel nice against your skin! They were delivered reg delivery but got them super fast! I would highly recommend them. I'm 5'5" and 132 lbs, ordered a Medium.
These are everything I need in an everyday tight-- opaque, durable, heavy-weight, comfortable, smoothing, and in line with my budget. And when I say everyday, I mean it! In the winter, I usually buy these two pairs at a time and alternate between them for several wears until they need to be washed and worn some more. Consider these the work-horse of your winter hosiery wardrobe-- they go with everything and will stay true to size and color until you manage to put a hole in them (and let's face it, even the best hosiery will get a hole eventually if you wear them enough, but these will give you a run for your money, pun intended). The ONLY problem I've had with these tights is when I wear them with boots they get rubbing spots on them from the friction with the boot leather or zipper. Solution? Designate a pair of tights you wear only with your tall boots (to hide the friction spots) and a pair you wear with your short boots/pumps.
