19 Pairs of Amazon Tights to Elevate Your Look (and Keep Your Legs From Freezing)

• Why We Love Them: Control-top waist, won't bunch up

Not all things in life should be opaque (we like our sunnies a bit more transparent, thank you very much), but a good pair of basic tights should be. This pair from Hue offers great coverage and features a control-top waist with a reinforced toe. In short? They'll cover you, wherever you need it. One reviewer wrote, “You cannot see through them at all. They do not fall or have wrinkling or gathering at the knees or ankles.”

• Why We Love Them: Provide midsection support, adapt to your body temperature

If you're looking to smooth out the area around your midsection, these tights just may be your best bet. They've got a control top for support without being restrictive, and a waistband that actually stays in place, if the nearly 20,000 5-star reviewers are to be believed. They’re opaque for more coverage and come equipped with an "adaptive technology" that the company claims will keep your legs at just the right temperature.

• Why We Love Them: Moisture-wicking, soft feel

Designed with curvy women in mind, these premium sheer numbers have a nice denier, or weight, that's see-through but not too delicate to be functional. Bonuses include a control-top waist and a curvy, built-in panty. The "cool comfort" fabric works to wick away moisture, keeping your legs from getting too hot, and shoppers say they're ultra-soft against your legs, too.

• Why We Love Them: Smooth legs and stomach, snug fit

If you own a pair of Spanx leggings, you already know that they do a great job of keeping everything tucked in just so. The same quality applies to the brand's tights, which have built-in shapewear to smooth out your legs and flatten your stomach without a pesky, irritating waistband to dig into your sides. Wrote one reviewer, “Love these tights, nearly rip-proof and snug, so you don't have to adjust throughout the day!”

• Why We Love Them: Non-restrictive, matte finish

If you need a break from the restrictiveness of a control-top tight, say hello to this Commando pair, which has a raw-cut waistband. They also have an attractive matte finish. Wrote one reviewer, “These are the best tights I've ever tried. They are the only ones I've ever purchased which did not have the waistband bite into my stomach or roll down, causing unsightly creases or muffin tops.”

• Why We Love Them: Cozy fleece lining, heavyweight material

Colder days call for extra layers, and these tights deliver. They have a soft lining on the interior for the legs and feet in spite of their opaque look and an elastic waistband to boot. One reviewer commented,“[I] wear [them] under knee- and ankle-length skirts and dresses and they’ve been perfect. Incredibly comfortable and warm (without the sweat other tights give)." The ultra-heavy 70 denier also means they'll be plenty durable.

• Why We Love Them: Reinforced feet, absorb moisture

Merino wool is a natural temperature regulator, so these Wolford wool tights will ensure you're not shivering at any given moment. They also have a reinforced toe, sole and heel, so you won’t have to worry about getting holes in the feet after prolonged wear. “Wonderful quality, soft and warm," raved one buyer. Had a pair about nine years old that finally wore out. They’re definitely worth the price! ... Very trendy, too.”

• Why We Love Them: Won't slide down, arch support, moisture-wicking

These tights are ideal for those times when you want to wear boots, because they have an ankle sock built right in. Not only will they not slide down inside your shoe, like ordinary socks, but they’re also moisture-wicking, cushioned and have arch support, too, making them comfortable to wear once you take your footwear off.

• Why We Love It: Pill-resistant, can be worn two ways

While this style of tight is designed for ballet, since it enables dancers to easily adjust toe padding or tape, they're great for anyone who likes to have options. You can wear them footed or footless, depending on your preference (or outfit). They’re semi-opaque, moisture-wicking and pill-resistant to keep up with you and your ever-changing needs.

• Why We Love Them: Tons of shades, reinforced where it matters

For days you want to spice it up, go for bold over a pair of traditional black pair of tights—we’re talking bright yellow, fuchsia, royal blue or whatever strikes your mood. These nylons also have a reinforced crotch and toe and are madeof a microfiber fabric that's reportedly ultra-soft.

• Why We Love Them: Budget-friendly, slight sheen

As the name suggests, this pair will give your own legs a silky-smooth texture thanks to the slight sheen of the material. Better yet, you can pick them up at an especially affordable price. Take it from this reviewer, who wrote, “These tights are not only strong and high quality, but they are comfortable to wear."

• Why We Love Them: Special occasion-ready, velvety texture

When you want to turn an ordinary outfit into an extraordinary one, reach for these velvety tights that will turn an ordinary outfit into an extraordinary one. That's because they've got that little extra touch of luxury you deserve, whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or just a Tuesday night. “These are absolutely the perfect tights," raved one shopper. "They cost more, [but] they last forever, they fit perfectly and never sag. Worth every penny.”

• Why We Love Them: Won't roll down, lower cut

Not everyone loves high-waisted tights. These are low-waisted and have a stylish lace-top hem with a silicone strip to help them stay just where you want them to. They come in sheer and more opaque styles, too, so you can choose a pair for every outfit.

• Why We Love Them: Free feet, fashion statement

If you prefer to keep your feet free, these tights have all the same support you'd get from a regular pair thanks to their shaping panty and stay-in-place waistband and none of the constraints on your toes. They also make a serious style statement as a chic throwback to the '80s. "They stretch to fit and then fit like a glove...no sagging around the ankles or anywhere else," gushed one fan.

• Why We Love Them: Lined with fleece, six to a pack

These fishnet tights probably won’t keep your legs particularly warm, but they’ll definitely add some edge to your outfit with their barely-there design. Plus, they've got an elastic waistband to help them stay in place and no seams to get in the way. “These will always be my go-to when I need fishnets. I’ve torn so many and it sucks when you get a hole and have to toss the whole thing," shared a particularly happy buyer. "These are super super strong with great control.”

• Why We Love Them: Reinforced toes, slight shimmer

On days where you want your legs to take the spotlight, put on a pair of these sheer Wolford sheer and shiny tights and let the compliments roll in.
