You Want Tights? I can help!

It started with one email:

Can you help me find tights?

Which somehow turned into a flurry of emails asking essentially the same question:

Would you ever do a segment on tights?

What are the best plus size tights?

Which can only mean one thing… It’s tights season. Tights season is a long season, really—depending on wear you live. But I think the late fall into early winter holiday months are the best time for tights.

Wirecutter recently listed the 4 Best Black Tights and only one of their recommendations goes past a size XXL, which is just maddening. And, I think there are a lot of great tight options that aren’t just black!
