7 Best Opaque Tights For Fall & Winter

by Lindsey Rose Black

Farewell to the days of booty shorts and mini skirts, my legs are about to get pale AF while I brace for winter in Manhattan. On top of paleness, shaving has officially become less of a priority and thanks to these seven opaque tights for winter, I can dodge shaving for as long as possible. Dear Santa: These are definitely all on my Christmas wish list. Bonus points for the fact they don't just look cute, but are also super toasty and comfy!

My legs are basically a meteorologist, as their level of hairiness directly equates to the weather forecast. I'm also freshly single (and ready to mingle?), so that plus cold winter weather means my shaving motivation is more or less in the negatives. When I'm not in the warm and snuggly winter jeans mood to hide my lustrous leg locks, opaque tights are definitely the go-to!

I love opaque tights because of how versatile they are. You can layer them under a dress for a perfect winter outfit, pair them with booty shorts to rock summer clothes in winter, and even get away with just throwing on a giant oversized sweater over them and calling it a day. Add a pair of cute snow boots and you're good to go!
