Comfy and durable - I wash and dry them with no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tights-for-adults#post-2853949 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 10:41:01 +0000 Raspberry 2853949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also like Hue and H&amp;M. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tights-for-adults#post-2853918 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 09:14:38 +0000 looch 2853918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy black tights every single year, I don't invest a ton in them because I buy multiple pairs, I buy them at discount department stores when I see them for $5 or less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tights-for-adults#post-2853906 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 08:52:10 +0000 lioneyes 2853906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H&amp;M actually has amazing super thick opaque tights. And you can machine wash and dry. Usually buy a pair every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tights-for-adults#post-2853903 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 08:31:32 +0000 hitchhiker 2853903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Boden's 90 denier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tights-for-adults#post-2853900 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 08:23:50 +0000 Caly 2853900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always had really good luck with Hue </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-tights-for-adults#post-2853897 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 07:59:10 +0000 JennyPenny 2853897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The weather has definitely turned here and my collection of tights looks sad and uncomfortable. Does anyone have a brand they really love? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings/page/2#post-416893 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:04:18 +0000 Ash 416893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: there's a groupon for $25 for AA... good for $50 worth of stuff. I think I might be buying my leggings!! :)) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings/page/2#post-411241 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 00:46:35 +0000 Ash 411241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: bahahahahahaha! yes. :P How'd it look all put together?!?!<br /> I wore my Mossimo leggings today... I was eh, about them. The deal at Express is defintely good but after seeing the reviews for the winter leggings at AA, I want them so bad. Ya know, since it is winter and all. Just watching to see if they get cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings/page/2#post-409888 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:21:28 +0000 PinkElephant 409888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pair of black jeggings (ugh, I hate that word) from Uniqlo that are really great! They're thick but soft, so they don't feel/look much like denim. They hold their shape really well (I'm on holiday right now and am on wear # 3 without washing, and they're still fine), and are definitely not see-thru/don't give VPL. I bought them about 2 years ago, but would imagine Uniqlo still sells something similar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings/page/2#post-409732 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:49:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 409732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Update-- they are great. Thinker than most yoga or workout pants that I have, so could almost pass as pants (especially if you have really nice legs and butt). I went up a size, since, you know, I'm pregnant, no sense in going small. I'm wearing them for Thanksgiving (eating pants!) with a pink long loose t-shirt I got at the Gap today for $7 and a long, flowy loose gray cardigan and knee high boots. The shirt just covers the crotch and is longer to cover the bum in the back, plus the cardigan is really long. Um... in case you needed the whole rundown. Shall I share info about my socks and underwear too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings/page/2#post-409617 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:36:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 409617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: yup! mine are mossimo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings/page/2#post-409613 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:29:47 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 409613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: did we buy the same brand? Mine are really flattering and didn't stretch at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings/page/2#post-409600 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:20:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 409600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I tried some on at Ann Taylor this fall too and I LOVED them... sooo thick and luxurious but they were like $50 :(</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I bought target leggings recently and hate them! I did size up, but they stretch out after a couple hours so they get baggy and the waistband is really tight and digs into my "baby pooch" so it creates unsightly lines :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-409593 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:17:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 409593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: thought of you! Livingsocial is having a deal on Athleta leggings, 2 for $29 which is a great deal I think! I'm super tempted to buy some! And they are Organic ;) haha.</p> <p>ETA: woops read the deal wrong, it's a brand called athletica that I've never heard of but either way it doesn't seem like a bad deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-409269 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:46:47 +0000 Ash 409269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: awesome! Let me know if they're thick! :) please! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-409078 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:08:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 409078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: The Express leggings that my friend loves are 50% off right now-- not sure if it is only online or in stores too-- I'm going to check it out in store after work. Only $14.95. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-407448 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:35:27 +0000 mrs. wagon 407448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: seriously, so smart to smooth out instead of cut right into where I'm softest ;) after all, they are leggings, so no need to look good or low cut in the waistband, right? </p> <p>I tried on a pair at Ann Taylor sometime last year that had an even thicker, more secure waistband and they wre SOOO awesome but something like $40!! way too rich for my blood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-407433 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:30:15 +0000 lawbee11 407433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Glad you like them! I love love love the waistband--I wish more stores made the waistband that thick! Oh and I scrunch mine at the ankles too, but I think it looks kinda cute like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-407418 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:25:11 +0000 mrs. wagon 407418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: i think we had this same convo in another thread (I had the $9.95 pair) so I finally made it back to H&amp;M to buy the $14.95 pair and OMG, what a difference. They come up super high on the waist so they smooth out my mommy tummy AND they are not see-thru at all!! They're super long but they're made in a way that I can scrunch them at the ankle and they won't get scrunchy in the knee. THANK YOU!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-407397 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:13:36 +0000 lawbee11 407397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: I just got my regular size. You can wash them in the washing machine but you are supposed to lay flat to dry. I have washed them a few times and haven't noticed any shrinkage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-407392 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:11:17 +0000 Clementine 407392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: did you need to size up or down? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-407391 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:10:29 +0000 Mrsbells 407391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a pair on amazon they are the leather looking ones </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-407384 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:08:57 +0000 Meridian 407384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: I sized up, to allow for possible shrinkage (haven't washed it yet)... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-407353 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:00:21 +0000 lawbee11 407353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: They're not sheer at all! I wear them under my sweater dresses all the time. H&amp;M has some cheaper ones for $9.95--they have a thin waistband and are a little more sheer. But I "splurged" for the $14.95 ones--they have a thick waistband and come up to my waist so I don't have to worry about them sliding down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-407335 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:56:28 +0000 Clementine 407335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: are they opaque? I feel like I want some leggings but most are so sheer. @sweetchic: nice! do you need to go up a or down a size? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-407330 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:55:16 +0000 Clementine 407330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: are they opaque?

Since we're 3 hours away, I rarely get my shopping fix. :)) Waterloo is way close to me. </p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: leggings are much better than jeans on a day that consists of lots of eating! ;) </p> <p>I told DH I'm heading out later today to go find some cheap leggings and he said "just spend the money on a good pair that will last!" But I'm still super interested in the AA ones so I still might be grabbing some cheapies today. Thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-leggings#post-406848 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 19:40:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 406848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: mine were from Kohls a year or two ago. </p> <p>I love the idea of leggings for thanksgiving! I'm in! </p>
